LOVE THIS MOVIE
Added 2/11/2010
I love this movie for the hilarious deadpan performance of Dustin Hoffman. It's a crazy story, of course with a great soundtrack, that I love over and over.

Hello Dustin, my old friend. [bluray]

The Graduate is one of those life changing films which works quite well for most everyone. This great importance probably stems from the fact that the film itself changed film history and style itself back in the late sixties. In short, this is an incredible film which deserves a purchase if you are into film, history or the human struggle. Also the price can't be beaten. I myself purchased the blu-ray version for a better price than the dvd.

An excellent movie graduates into Blu-Ray with flying colors!

(Sorry, couldn't resist the pun on that one;)
This release was quite a positive surprise; considering it was not really something I expected to benefit greatly in getting the high-def treatment. However, the picture quality is very respectable throughout, and does not appear to have been artificially "souped-up" with edge-enhancement or digital noise reduction. It does have a few (mostly scenery or reduced-lighting scenes) which do show the age if one looks closely, but still I have to admit that it looked pretty fresh for being a 40+ year old catalog title.
The audio I did expect to benefit greatly from being remastered into lossless 5.1, though, and the DTS HD Master Audio track delivered in spades. Both the dialogue--which is clear and intelligible throughout--but not least the excellent music by Simon & Garfunkel makes this worth buying just for the soundtrack alone.
As for the movie itself, the performance by Dustin Hoffman is superb--I feel he perfectly captured all the mannerisms; the awkwardness & uneasiness his character exhibits after being thrust into the situations by the also brilliant Anne Bancroft (in an iconic performance)--in a way that is so subtle but still hilariously funny at the same time--that it deserves some major credit (this was after all his first major role.) I notice another reviewer mentioned that he came across as "annoying"--which just shows what a great performance it really is (not that this reviewer thought so, but I can see how it can be interpreted that way)
The directing is also flawless, and a Mike Nichols movie through and through. (Only bettered by Catch-22 in my opinion--can't wait to see that on this format as well!)
All in all, a true gem that can be highly recommended. Probably the best $8.99 I've ever spent on a film purchase. And it even included a DVD of the movie as well.
