THE GRADUATE

One thing that annoys me about this film is that while it is set at UC Berkeley, it was shot at the University of Southern California, something that anyone familiar with both, or even one of the campuses will quickly discern. Why couldn't they have shot the scenes on location at Berkeley--or set the story at USC?

Everyone seems to complain about that! :-)

I saw it when it first came out and absolutely HATED it! Can't believe that Dustin Hoffman was cast as the lead ( just oh so very miscast! ) and it's really a smarmy movie.

I've seen it again, many decades later, and don't "hate" it as much...but yes, did, basically, watch it for the music.

There are several other movies that I detest, but didn't post about them ( THREE WOMEN, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, BONNIE AND CLYDE, and many more ), because my list is very long and re THE THREE WOMEN, some aren't all that "loved" .

But since some were mentioned, on this thread , I'll add all of the LORD OF THE RINGS movies ( hated the books and THE HOBBIT as well!), THELMA AND LOUISE, SOPHIE'S CHOICE, all STAR WARS movies after the first 3, and EYES WIDE SHUT.

I usually don't go to see/watch on T.V. movies which I have read the reviews of and know I will hate, so there are probably a lot more movies I could list, that I haven't seen. ;^)
