RIP Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: bluesno1fann on November 20, 2014, 03:07:33 PM Very sad. Really liked The Graduate. Charlie Wilson's War wasn't too bad either.
R.I.P. Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on November 20, 2014, 03:21:57 PM gee, I didn't realize! is Castillo a Jewish name?, I'm of mixed race. Dutch Jewish hispanic and black.Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on November 20, 2014, 03:27:56 PM The Graduate is one of the greatest movies ever made. It's one of the films that helped usher in what is, in my opinion, the greatest era in American cinematic history.
I also liked Catch-22 and Closer a lot. Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: Smilin Ed H on November 21, 2014, 01:33:36 AM Always felt Catch 22 was hugely underrated. I suspect had it been a European film, people would have been falling all over themselves to praise it. The fact that it can't compare with the intricacies of the novel, is neither here nor there.

I agree with everything you wrote. I've never been much for the argument that "it was too different from the book." Of course it is. It's a movie! Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: Smilin Ed H on November 21, 2014, 08:32:31 AM Exactly.
Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: The Cincinnati Kid on November 21, 2014, 08:45:53 PM RIP. I'm a big fan of The Graduate.
Title: Re: Mike Nichols RIP Post by: Smilin Ed H on September 16, 2015, 11:53:56 AM JUst found this Art Garfunkel interview where he talks about Nichols. As often seems to be the case these days, Artie seems a little spaced out at times, but it's touching nonetheless:
