One bit of trivia
Bela Lugosi spoke his lines phonetically when he played Dracula. He only spoke Hungarian at the time.
Thus, the haunting cadence.


What ever!

EE, the song, 'Mrs. Robinson,' is from 'The Graduate,' starring Dustin Hoffman and Katherine Ross. Mrs. Robinson was played by Anne Bancroft.
There are so many great movies, I will limit myself to just the following:

'Gone With The Wind.'
1959's 'Ben Hur.'
'Sophie's Choice.'
'Gardens of Stone.'
'Godfathers, I & II.'
'The Best Years of Our Lives.'
'Inside Moves.'

There are a number of movies I never miss, unless to watch a college basketball game. So many of them that I sometimes have to choose. I find that almost all of them are Kevin Costner movies or Clint Eastwood.

I really like all the Spaghetti Westerns of Eastwood but some of his newer ones like "Gran Torino" and "Any Which Way You Can" and "Every Which but Loose" always get me.

I never fail to watch "Tin Cup", "Open Range", "Swing Vote", "Bull Durham", and "Dances with Wolves". Then we find my favorite movie of all time "For Love Of the Game". I don't think anyone else could have been the star of "Tin Cup" and "Love of the Game" had to be Costner. I sometimes find myself watching scenes from "Open Range" just because of Costner.

I forgot to say anything about "The Bodyguard". That one was a pure love story that really gets to me. The other favorite, "For Love of the Game is really a love story built around Costner pitching a perfect game against the Yankees. Love between the team and Costner and the female lead. I am crying right now thinking about that one.

You are right, The Graduate. The whole sound track is Simon and Garfunkel (love their music).
AND; I had a crush on Katherine Ross after that movie. Sam Elliot is one lucky guy.

Simon & Garfunkel remain my favorite recording artist duos of all-time. Although 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' may have been their best song, 'I Am A Rock' served me well when I was a young man on my own with (seemingly) both my mother and father out of my life. It became, both literally and figuratively, my song.

"I Am A Rock," by Paul Simon

A winters day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock, I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

A movie. Google and look for Roger Ebert's review of it. It was just released last year. I just caught it on DirectTV Pay-for-View.
