I certainly don't see much equivalence between Jackie and Benjamin.

Yeah, I don't know about that, but you're totally right about the opening scene of Jackie Brown.
Another homage to the Graduate. For 100% suresies. I've thought that ever since the very first time I saw that movie.
I think the Graduate might be in the undisputed 10 greatest films of all-time list. Like, I don't think that's a stretch at all. In the company of Citizen Kane and The Godfather and so on. I know I push it with my gushing over Dark Knight and There Will be Blood and GoodFellas, but I don't think anyone would disagree that The Graduate is on some pantheon shit.
