Yesterday I made the comment that I could name 100 movies that were better than "The Graduate." I would like to point out that I think "The Graduate" is a perfectly fine movie. It's just not one of the top 10 or 20, as some lists like to point out. I find it to be one of those movies that Baby Boomers like to think speaks to their generation, which is one of the reasons I kind of hate it. But I do love Anne Bancroft, although the fact that she was supposed to be much older than Dustin Hoffman's character but is actually less than 6 years older is another reason to hate those idiots in Hollywood. Okay, rant off; here are my movies (in no particular order):
