29. The Graduate (1967)- Mike Nichols

The Graduate Trailer

A Young Dustin Hoffman stars in this American classic comedy/drama as a recent college graduate, who doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life, and ends up having an affair with his father's business partner's wife, Mrs. Robinson. Part of the charm of this movie, is Dustin Hoffman's naive awkward demeanor when it comes to actually following through with his affair with the sultry, much older Mrs. Robinson. This culturally significant classic also helped to launch the career of Simon and Garfunkel into a new level of fame. The soundtrack, which featured three brand new S&G songs at the time, immediately blew up all of the music charts, mainly because of the song "Mrs. Robinson." The score is paired nicely overtop of great cinematography, including a shot (which is shown in the movie poster on the left) looking at Dustin Hoffman from the point of view of Mrs. Robinson, but from between her legs. Genius! This film is a must see for anyone around college age and older! Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson!
