The Film: The Graduate (1967)
The Inappropriate: Perhaps the most famous case of filmic cradle-snatching goes to Mrs Robinson, who embarks on a crackpot love affair with young bachelor Benjamin.
Every bit the praying mantis, she lures Benjamin into her home, plies him with alcohol and invites him to have an affair with her. She stops short of biting his, um, head off, though.
How They Make It Work: Benjamin realises that he really should settle down with a nice girl his age, and crashes the wedding of former girlfriend Elaine, whisking her away. But is it really a happy ending?
