Probably the scene that is most famous in the film, the scene where he is in her house and she is playfully flirting with him and he says "Mrs. Robinson you're trying to seduce me" and she starts giggling and says she's no but she's flattered etc. Mrs. Robinson was so sexy.
shareYep my favorite scene as well. She is so provocative and seductive. I cant help but smile everytime I watch this part.
For some reason my favorite parts are when he first calls Mrs. Robinson to take her up on her offer and then when he calls her from the phone booth before they go up to the room the first time. When he calls her he takes a deep breath and is seemingly so scared that put the events in motion and then when he calls her in the lobby from the phone booth he is SO paranoid and thinks the hotel staff is "suspicious." He acts like they are getting ready to kill someone. I mean adultery is bad, I get it, but he just seemed sooooo scared and so young. It was great.
"Your petty vengeance fetish will have to do withOUT Mr. Groin!"
Yeah it's funny, like the hotel clerk really cares who is going in the room with. Mrs. Robinson seemed to think it was cute after she hung up.
shareYes, she does seem to find it cute. lol. The intense look on his face when he's talking about them being suspicious and how quiet he keeps his voice. It's hilarious.

Without a doubt the big bedroom scene right in the middle of the movie where Mrs. R and Benjamin get in the big fight. One of the best scenes in movie history and the most important scene of the movie.
shareI love all the scenes mentioned already but I think my favorite is the sequence that's the big turning point in the film: when Ben arrives to pick Elaine up for their second date and Mrs. Robinson gets in his car, culminating in the revelation that shatters everything for all three characters. The way it's filmed, with the pouring rain outside, and then inside with the eerie shot of drenched Mrs. Robinson in the white hallway saying "Goodbye Benjamin", and then the segue into "Scarborough Fair" as we see Ben idling away the rest of the summer and driving by the Robinson house to watch for Elaine from afar - it's just so well done.
shareI liked the scene where the boarding house manager (played by Norman Fell) kicked Benjamin out. When Benjamin asked him why he was being evicted, the manager just said, "Because I don't like you!"
Don't mess with me, man! I know karate, judo, ju-jitsu..... and several other Japanese words.
He was a jerk, I guess back then you could kick someone out for that reason.
shareI really liked the scene when Ben is with mrs Robinson on the bed and he is trying to speak to her. I like her expressions,especially when she says that in college her major was art. I think that's when we realise how complicated her character is.
shareI have several but my favorite comedic scene is where Ben suddenly and erratically jumps the curb with his sporty convertible after Elaine's innocent mention of the Taft Hotel.
share"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me--aren't you?" is how it actually goes. Quite funny. And actually I have never thought she looked sexy. She was made up as the sex-less, glamour-less, make-up-heavy old wife which "sophisticated" women of that era followed for fashion's sake, though I'm not sure that was the intention of the director (that is, in his view, he was presenting a sexually attractive woman).
