ALSO... I don't think the influence of The Graduate on the work of Wes Anderson can really be overstated. There are so many little Mike Nichols odes in his moves, nodding back to scenes in that film. Even the positioning of the camera; and the dynamic angles used.
Especially in Anderson's first few (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums) and then again, later, on The Darjeeling Ltd.
