The Brilliant Mike Nichols, RIP
At a Lincoln Center tribute to Mike Nichols, his longtime friend and comic partner, Elaine May said: “So he’s witty, he’s brilliant, he’s articulate, he’s on time, he’s prepared and he writes,” she said. “But is he perfect? He knows you can’t really be liked or loved if you’re perfect. You have to have just enough flaws. And he does. Just the right, perfect flaws to be absolutely endearing.”
What’s one of your favorite Mike Nichols’ films?

Just watched this. It’s terrific. Makes we want to watch Mike Nichols projects all weekend. Can’t pick a favorite.
Have you seen Silkwood lately? It’s amazing.
Another vote for The Graduate.
Fun article from Vanity Fair on the making of the film. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/03/graduate200803
