The New Hollywood movement didn’t exactly last very long, but its impact proved undeniable, and many of the best movies that came out as part of this movement are also among the best ever made. Put simply, New Hollywood emerged out of the ashes of the more restrictive studio system that dominated the American film industry from the early 1930s to some point in the 1960s.
It was just the second feature film Mike Nichols directed, and remained his best for the rest of his career, helping establish him as one of many interesting new filmmakers on the rise within the New Hollywood movement. So much of what The Graduate has to say still feels relatable and emotionally involving, and while it might not shock modern-day viewers, it’s still easy to appreciate how risqué parts of it would’ve felt back in the 1960s.
This is a movie about outlaws growing old, and going out with a bang when they realize that the world has moved on without them, and they have little by way of a proper place within it. As such, there is a nihilistic slant – plus an overall feeling of bleakness and despair – in The Wild Bunch, but at least it’s also a grand farewell of sorts, not to mention a movie that pushed the boundaries of on-screen violence noticeably beyond what Bonnie and Clyde had done.
✕ Remove Ads Essentially, Cabaret showcases the slow rise of fascism in and around Berlin during the early 1930s, but most of the main characters are too distracted to notice until it’s too late. So, the film has some heavy thematic content, but it’s also stylishly presented and quite entertaining at times, combining some strong musical numbers with a somewhat tragic romantic plot and some surprisingly thought-provoking other stuff.
This is one of the greatest dramas ever made, taking place inside a psychiatric facility and telling a story about rebellion and traces of hope in the face of overbearing and domineering authority figures. It’s a real “stick it to the man” kind of movie, and a film that’s unafraid to do its own thing, much like its flawed but compelling protagonist, expertly portrayed by Nicholson.
