The Graduate

"The Graduate" was made in 1967 and directed by Mike Nichols. It stars Dustin Hoffman as a recent college graduate with no well-defined aim in life who is seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). This scene, and the line "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?" is widely known, referred to and parodied. Mrs. Robinson has become a name for any seductive older woman after the success of the film.

The film is the highest ranked on the AFI list that we have seen so far. In 1998 it was ranked at number 7, and in the updated list it is down ten places to number 17.
