I just have one thing to say to you younger guys that weren't there to see it the first time around........Plastics.

I saw the movie on TV when I was in 7th grade I think, had an impact on me even in that format.
There is another movie which has a scene featuring "The Graduate" on the big screen in a theater. The audience is laughing in unison to one of the most awkward scenes, a scene I was always quite absorbed in. I never thought people would laugh at such a scene, it was quite horrible of them, like a bunch of morons. I was kind of shocked by their reaction but it opened up the idea that seeing it in a theater in the late 1960's would have been a different experience.
