  • This vid went viral on Canada

  • Your video is popular on Turkmenistan

  • je looks a lot older then he is supposed to be! but hottie!!! -3

  • What a uniquely beautiful and artful look Nichols and his cinematographer brought to this film. That all movies could look this good!

  • 13 people here are bastard like this number

  • To the poster (spykrat) - This is my favourite part of the movie. Thanks for posting it, and including all the 'Scarborough Fair' material !

  • What a F'in badass.  That's the way to get married

  • of course he is going the wrong way on the Oakland Bay bridge, towards San Fran not Berkley.

  • @bumperu haha, I noticed that too! but going under the bridge would be more video footie, no?

  • @mitrojsr *poor

  • Its completely baked.

  • Mom woke up the dead 2:05

  • is it me or is 5:05 NOT the university of california berkeley, but the university of southern california? shocking how many movies are filmed at USC but claim to be some other school.

  • @nedalnekbrad What are you talking about? I'm not planning on shooting Dustin Hoffman.

  • daniel brou

  • Hi Owen045. I've watched this movie over 40 times, actually each year since I was 16 (not includeing twice the first time I saw it at the theater). It's my favorite. I chuckle at the same things each time, too! Underplayed acting and humor, great camera work, and who can find any fault with the soundtrack??

  • "It's completely baked." - lol

  • this movie was sooo cool when it came out. the music the photography etc 44 years later i look back and ask "what was this movie really all about ?" trivializing adultery - that's what. back then - most children were raised at home by their mothers - while their fathers went out to support them. now most kids are raised by hired strangers and many don't even know who their fathers are. we are programmed by our entertainment. charles ranalli albuquerque
  • @greengringo2003 I can see that you're out for a fight, but you won't find one here.

  • Love that car!

  • to be perfectly honest she doesnt like me.

  • daniel brou

  • absolutely LOVE this scene.

  • What's with the maniac screams in this movie? You have Ben's mom screaming in this scene and Elaine screaming at the bitter end, both very high pitched and ear splitting!

  • MR ROPER!!!!!

  • Beautiful film with a beautiful soundtrack. Don't Hollywood DARE do a remake of this one. Some films are best left alone.

  • @uksnootyfox

    They should a prequel and call it "The Undergraduate".

  • She was indeed a true love of mine...And she always will be....

  • The world would be so much more peaceful if everybody listened to Simon and Garfunkel.

  • great video..

  • Some of the main cast in this film like (obviously Hoffman), even Katherine Ross had other good roles in later movies.

    I mean, who'd have thought Katherine Ross (Elaine) would later portray the psychologist of a still yet-to-be known Jake Gyllenhaal in "Donnie Darko?"

  • the fact that they picked a new fresh face to play benjamin really made this movie for me...the book had ben as blond and very tall...so hoffman must have swayed mike nichols...genius move...my kids heard me talk about this movie a lot...and they all eventually discovered it on their own...and loved it

  • agreed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mom's scream is just brilliant.

    I saw this film when it was first released.

    I must be getting old now as I'm starting to find mom rather dishy. lol

  • 9:40

    

  • "Well what makes you think she even wants to marry you?"

    "She doesn't. To be perfectly frank she doesn't even like me."

    XD

  • External campus scenes shot not at UC Berkeley but at Alumni Park, University of Southern California.

  • @marcabra However, the panning shot of Elaine walking as Benjamin watches her is of Sproul Plaza on the Berkeley campus.

  • Mr. Hoffman-----you are a brilliant actor, sir.

  • I have trouble watching Dustin Hoffman without thinking his going to say "I'm an excellent driver".

  • The mom's scream cracks me up everytime! Too funny!

  • Great story, music, acting and photography framing, every scene feels so interesting and important alone. Silence and time become main characters.

  • one of best movie i have ever seen really a marvelous movie must watch it

  • I'm one of those outside agitators.

  • good man ben...i'm fully baked too.

  • what's the car benjamin drives in this movie, its gorgeous

  • @jgsnc2

    1960's Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto (or Boat Tail Spider) - they replaced it with the square/kamm style back end a few years after which wasn't half as nice.

  • I love this scene. To loved is truly priceless.

  • i miss college life

  • '67...It was the time...

  • Who'd have thought that the actor who plays the on-screen father of Dustin Hoffman's character was none other than Mr. George Feeny of "Boy Meets World" in later years?

  • Elaine is the type of girl I'd like to fuk! SHE'S SO HOT!

  • I was born in 1967...far out

  • 9:20

    I sat in on a class at university of NSW, once session, when the teacher found out she told me to quit coming.

    .

    Definitely a no-no, nowadays.

  • A lovely film and beautiful scenery, much to think of as ideal and something to attain.

    Thanks to colmas yesterday, for the response to my comment below.

    Cheers.

  • "ben this idea sounds pretty half baked"

    "oh its not, its completely baked."

  • Has anyone else ever become completely obsessed with this film. I have this urge to watch it every day, and when I don't it's just depressing.

  • @Owen045

    Dear Colin,

    I am not obsessed with this film but with 'The Whisperers' (1967)

    The Whisperers tells the story of an impoverished old woman living alone in a seedy apartment who enjoys a rich fantasy life as an heiress. When she discovers stolen money hidden by her son, she believes her fantasy has come true.

    Available on You-Tube.

    Cheers.

  • @Owen045 I went through a faze exactly like that once.

  • @Owen045 Yes. i believe the music, plus Dustin's incredible acting, have alot to do with it. Eerily inspiring.

  • @Owen045 Passed through the same thing ;)

  • @Owen045 Um, you might look into what self-control can do for you. Seems like our ancestors had it. Just a thought. Have a nice day.

  • @Owen045 a little army of Mark David Chapman breeding here.... you guys are scary .

  • @Owen045 I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but I've seen it many times. It still holds up after multiple viewings. Great writing, acting and direction, filled with details and quirks of timing that add depth, humour and meaning. It's an American comedy of manners. I love the sequence when he drives to Berkeley with 'Scarborough Fair' on the soundtrack. It's poetry.

  • "we thought you said by the monkey house" LOL i seriously can't get enough of dustin hoffman in this movie... hilarious.

  • Recognize the dad from "Boy Meet's World" anyone??? (he played the Principal) in the 90's t.v. show...

  • This film is way ahead of it's time.

  • the scenes when he is driving nad its just showing his car from an aerial view...so beautiful

  • How can you dislike this? Should the music have been played by phil collins instead?

  • Love the scene when he's staring into the aquarium. You can tell he dosn't belong thier anymore and it's time to move on in life.

  • how can you NOT like this?

  • love that car!

  • @kvnlmn One of these days, I'm going to get an Alfa Romeo, just for the hell of it...

  • 2:06 why does she scream like that

  • 8:40

    The Zoo?

    She is on the wrong bus for the Zoo.

    .

    She should get off at Van Ness and get a number 22.

    .

    Ask for a transfer.

    Cheers.

  • Where might he have been driving, when in that deep-forest-green [3:00], prior to riding on the Bay Bridge, towards Oakland?

    .

    I can't work out where he might have been coming from, I mean what neighbourhood in the film or in reality; any bay area natives have an idea?

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy.

  • @Call1800POO

    yea thats something strange about the film, he does drive away from UC berkeley and towards the city...

  • what song is playing

  • omg the moms scream is sooo funny!!

  • Dear 911,

    yes, almost as loudly as her blouse screams !

    .

    Want some toast?

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy.

  • @911xtina That scream WAS hilarious.

  • just saw it at 'retrolove movies' im in love with Benjamin :S

  • anne bancroft was only 6 years older than dustin hoffman even though her character was supposed to be twice his age

    talk about a double standard!

  • this is such pot smoking music lol

  • oh yeah...watch for a young Richard Dreyfuss who says to the Norman Fell character "You want me to call the police?...I'll call the police."

  • Dad: "Ben, I think this marriage idea is half-baked"

    Ben: "No, dad...it's fully-baked"

  • The helicopter shots from 3:03 to 3:55, with Scarborough Fair on the soundtrack, comprise as beautiful a cinematic minute (or 52 seconds) as I have ever witnessed. This film is visually the most beautiful of the 60s, in my opinion.

  • I think it's the most beautifully executed American film EVER. I was THERE with Benjamin when he crossed the Golden Gate to get his woman. Haha. I was right there with him.

  • Sorry, that wasn't the Golden Gate, it looks like the Bay Bridge but I'm not sure.

  • @reynolde98 So true!! The most beautiful movie of the sixties, maybe of all-time. The shots are so haunting and painfully beautiful.

  • The Golden Gate! Harpsichord! Benjamin's half baked unconverted rice! and everything!

  • A bad movie. Hoffman was far too old.

  • a classic coming of age story

  • What happened to his arm at 1:43, never noticed that before.

  • Probably from jerking off to much.

  • wt' s the name of this song??

  • songs called `Scarborough Fair/Canticle´ by Simon and Garfunkel :)

  • Great film :) nice clip

  • It's not a movie about a creep, its just a stylistic and quite-brilliantly audatous love story.

    A film that always reminds me of The Graduate for some reason is Punch-Drunk Love. It's just as strange and arthouse. I love them both to death!

  • This movie is really about a creepy stalker who won't take no for an answer. In real life this dude would probably take a gun to his so-called "love'' as well as her fiance/

  • you're a heartless moron

  • @wovokanarchy its about a college grad who in the end finds something to fight for

  • If you understand the storyline, you will understand his character.

  • I love this movie...Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross ~ they are so awesome. She is stunning.

  • The movie: good story, great editing, great soundtrack. The 60s. You had to be there.

  • @007jas I was there. Much of it sucked. Especially all the self-possessed baby boomers. I was a little older and watched their tantrums. Now many of them are "teaching" in the universities. It's called societal cancer.

  • @greengringo2003 Correct.

    But the cars of the day, especially little cars like the Alfa Duetto, were better than what we have today, at least in terms of style.

  • @007jas was it awesome?

  • i watched this last night, id never heard of it before and had no expectations of what i was about to see. it was one of the most entrancing films i have ever become witness to. it at first had nothing peculiar about it except a quiet mystique. it drew me in and now is a must see in my opinion. and i really really crave Simon & Garfunkel now lol this film is before my time but is something relevant to today i think. one word. plastic

  • 60's and 70's should come back the world is shit now

  • @mockinator15 Don't you think you're forgetting about the Vietnam War, the draft, the Cold War, Civil Rights Violence, so on and so forth.

    I think you're looking at the 60s and 70s through rose colored glasses.

  • @skimarcus

    Lol, nice way of putting it with what you wrote in your last sentence.

  • @mockinator15 agreed it would have been great to live in that time, jealous

  • It's easy to romanticize the past, but those decades like skimarcus stated, had its share of discord, turbulence and tragedy. But in the field of the arts and music, it flourished.

  • i wan't watch The Graduate 1967 full? some one can help me?

  • Purchase it.

  • 2:06 - Holy shit. Even puts Jim Carrey's overacting to shame.

  • "It's not half baked, it's completely baked"

  • lmaooooo 'to be perfectly honest she doesnt like me' *leaves room*

  • Best Movie!!

  • I watched this again last night, watching a young kathrine ross was bliss, oh yeah and a great film.

  • He certainly is a good walker...

  • this is absolutely one of my favourite scenes in any movie.

  • "He certainly is a good walker!"

  • god. what a great film.

  • Actually when one thinks about it. your right.

  • Thank you kind sir.

  • I really love that song, but it looks little bit depressing by listenning more thant once a day.

  • Sure xD But It´s really great ^^

  • "mr. roper" at 6:26 - 'I like to know what my boys are up too...' ha, ha, ha. this movie is always a blast to watch.

  • 2:06 is hilarious. buck henry wrote this screenplay?

  • 1:42 - you can see the hypertropic burn scar on dustin's forearm. he got it cooking.

  • thiz iz a classic. the very good old 80z. look at the moviez now, filled with fake cgz, violence, blood and lamelezz sex. i mizz those dayz.

  • 80's? The film was released in 1967...

  • @nbafanzizback

    this was made in 1967...

  • Excelente película, simplemente excelente

  • count this old Taiwanese in, Jesus!

  • 4 or 5 incredible camera tricks in just 10 minutes!!!

    It's hard to believe there's a better film than this.

  • There is not!

  • tiny little dustin

  • lulz.

  • 25 years later, I still lake this movie. The girl is so erotic...

  • dude try 42 yrs

  • Fucking hell! I am getting old!

  • ain't we all

  • Me too--try 43!! I was still in HS when this came out. I remember skipping school to ride to bus to downtown St. Louis to one of the new cool "cinemas" to see it. It was very erotic and all back then for two 15/16 y/o girls, and SO funny! That S/G music will be with me forever. For those of you wishing you were were alive back then, if you love your music and films of today, you'll feel that way too, after 30 or 40 years. It's called wanting to be young again!

  • Amazing Just simply Amazing

  • were can i see the whole thing?

  • from buying the dvd :P

  • the scream at 2:06 is hilarious.

  • Comment removed

  • ouaou cool

  • this is a great movie but I cannot imagine someone marrying the daughter of a previous ex lover.....

  • "It's completely baked." I crack up every time I hear this.

  • Best part of this scene is the toast. Watch it a few times and you'll be laughing your head off.

  • the mother's scream shattered my eardrum.

  • lol I have 6 speakers surrounding me,

  • LOL Did the windows in your house break? xD

  • i saw this film when i was about 15. it is one of my all time favourites the story the acting and more importantly the music it introduced me to simon and garfunkel. one wonders if ever they remade it. could they better it? i do not think so. long live mrs robinson and r.i.p. anne bancroft
