The Graduate
Almost 21-year-old Benjamin Braddock has just graduated and has been given a nice sports car by his proud parents and, of course, a big graduation party. However, Benjamin feels very uncomfortable at that party and is therefore glad when Mrs Robinson, a friend of his parents, asks him to take her home. Once there, it becomes clear that she has her eye on Benjamin. Not soon after, the two begin an affair, but Benjamin notices from the start that she is only interested in sex. Then he meets Elaine, the Robinsons' daughter, and with her he instantly falls in love. However, Mrs Robinson has no intention of giving up on Benjamin just like that...
This tragicomic coming-of-age story has now become a true classic. Not only because of the fantastic cast including Dustin Hoffman, Ann Bancroft and Katharine Ross, but especially thanks to the legendary title track by Simon & Garfunkel. Director Mike Nichols received the Oscar for Best Direction for the film.
