This movie is most remembered for a young Dustin Hoffman being seduced by Anne Bancroft. This is much more than a coming-of-age sex farce. The Graduate is full of social satire as well as examining the state of being "adrift"... unsure of what directions your young life should take. Also, don't forget the wonderful and famous soundtrack featuring just about every Simon and Garfunkel song you would ever want to hear.
Great moments:
A. Ben being told by one of his father's friends that the secret to success in business is one word... "plastics."

B. The initial seduction by Mrs. Robinson.
C. Ben in his new scuba suit sitting forlornly at the bottom of his parent's swimming pool.
D. Ben awkwardly kissing a cold Mrs. Robinson... when the kiss is over she releases her mouthful of cigarette smoke.
E. Ben taking Elaine to a strip club.
F. Ben racing to stop Elaine's wedding and the ensuing church confrontation.
