The Graduate (21)


To be honest, when I got this movie in the mail I had no idea what it was about. I'd never heard of it before and it sounded boring. However, The Graduate surprised me and made me a fan.
Just like the Godfather movies, The Graduate has been spoofed time and time again so I actually recognized many of the scenes. I've never been a big Dustin Hoffman fan from the few movies I've seen him in, but I've got to admit...he was not bad looking in his younger days!
This movie is the classic "M.I.L.F." movie. For those who don't know what that is, it basically means "a really hot mom!" I've heard the quote "Hellllloooooooo Mrs. Robinson!" before but never knew that was from something, and now I know it's from this movie.
While I just could NOT do what MISS Robinson ends up doing (eww) I think it's a wonderful love story, in it's own perverted way.
I think this movie earns it's place on the top 100 just for the fact that it was bold enough to show the American "Cougar" in all her glory. Well done. This is a must see.
