"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me"
F R O M
THE GRADUATE (1967)

This is another classic line and classic moment that film audiences will always remember, even if they haven't seen the entire film. This was the film that launched the new change in Hollywood movies, and launched Dustin Hoffman's career, and marked a change for film music, playing songs on a film's soundtrack (with the wonderful songs of Simon and Garkfunkel). But this classic sequence is brilliant mostly because of the way its shot when Hoffman delivers that now-famous line -- we see Hoffman through the curved leg of Mrs. Robinson, played by Anne Bancroft. As she laughs at that remark, Hoffman's young man is confused and says "aren't you?" It's a classic scene we'll always remember.
