#17 The Graduate

I loved this movie! It was sexy, funny, romantic and dramatic! Who knew Dustin Hoffman could be sexy? I've always known him as old! And who the hell knew Anne Bancroft could be so freaking fierce?!? The way she seduced Benjamin and looked amazing throughout the entire film was almost inspiring! Just a great story- young man graduates college and is pressure to fall into line and be a grown up- go to graduate school or get a job or get married. Instead he rebels and has an affair with the totally sexy, totally fierce Mrs. Robinson. Then he falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter and has to prove his love to her after she is heartbroken to learn that her boyfriend banged her mom. Together they rebel against everyone and run away together! LOVE IT! Great movie! Definitely one of my favorites! And who doesn't love the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack?!
