Awesome!

If you were to ask me what my favorite movie is, The Graduate is definitely that movie.

Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who's unsure about his future. At a party celebrating his graduation, Mrs. Robinson(Anne Bancroft), the wife of Ben's father's business partner, asks him to drive her home. He does what he's asked, but after arriving and entering her home, he finds out that she's attracted to him(said in the immortal line "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?"). She talks Ben into having an affair with her, which begins a few days after the awkward occurrence. The affair continues for some time, but it soon ends. Memories of the affair come back to haunt Ben when he falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine(Katherine Ross).

The Graduate is interesting because it's the second film of both Hoffman and director Mike Nichols.

There's one scene in the movie that makes me burst out laughing. It happens the first night in the hotel room. Mrs. Robinson is getting undressed and Ben grabs her breast. He lets go, walks over to a wall and bangs his head against the wall. None of the actions that Hoffman did in that scene were scripted. As the scene was getting filmed, Hoffman grabbed Bancroft's breast, causing Nichols to burst out laughing. Hoffman also started to laugh and to stop laughing, he banged his head against the wall, making Nichols laugh even harder.

Overall, this is one movie that shouldn't be missed.

Great movie. Humphrey Bogart is legendary as detective Sam Spade.

The ultimate bromance movie.

Actually better than what people say.

If you hate this movie, there's something wrong with you.

Great performance by Henry Fonda. Greater debut by Sidney Lumet.

Best. Sports movie. EVER.

Humphrey Bogart is brilliant in one of his final performances.
