Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)

Director: Mike Nichols (The Graduate, The Birdcage)
Stars: Elizabeth Taylor (A Place in the Sun, Giant [I don't care what AFI says, other than James Dean, that movie sucked])
Richard Burton (some famous movies I've never seen)
YesNoSoso: 2

A really entertaining movie about the most awkward after party of all time. Taylor and Burton play an unhappily married couple inviting a young couple over for drinks after a party they mutually attended. The alcohol and bitter feelings create incredibly uneasy conversations exposing entirely inappropriate skeletons in their closet. The presence of the young and supposedly happy couple serves to solidify just how prevalent relationship issues are. A quality character study and an entertaining movie.
