Carnal Knowledge (1971)

That title is a clunker; I forget what movie it’s referring to every time I read it. It’s odd to say, but maybe I’m too young to really feel shock and surprise over discussions of people’s sex lives. Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel play college roommates who spend 25 years treating women awfully and talking to each other about it. Not surprisingly, their characters are incredibly dislikable. The women on the other hand are interesting characters and played well by the likes of Candace Bergen, Ann-Margaret, Carol Kane, and Rita Moreno.

Oscar Nomination: Best Actress in a Supporting Role
