The idea of ​​being seduced by an older woman is a fantasy that most men have entertained at some point in their lives. Most of them never get to experience the situation, so several classic movies have been made to help them visualize the experience.

Here are ten movies where the central plot features a romance between an older woman and a younger man. Only a few of the films enjoyed critical acclaim, but all helped to fuel young people’s fantasies of an older woman.

1979 “Anatomy of a Seduction”: Susan Flannery is a divorced woman who begins a sexual affair with her son’s best friend, who lives next door. The climax comes when the romance is discovered by the boy’s mother, played by Rita Moreno.

1981’s “Private Lessons”: Sylvia Krystal’s character is paid to seduce the son of a millionaire, who is later tricked into believing that he killed her in the middle of their sexual relationship. The plot was pretty hard to believe, but even harder to believe was seeing Howard Hesseman as the bad guy rather than as WKRP’s Dr. Johnny Fever.

1978 “Coach”: Attractive Cathy Lee Crosby is hired to coach a high school boys basketball team, eventually leading to a championship while sleeping with one of their star players.

2000’s “All-American Girl: The Mary Kay Letourneau Story”: The main character was the married mother of four who began an affair with one of her high school students, with whom she conceived a son. Penelope Ann Miller plays the convicted sex offender in this real-life depiction that is even juicier because the seductress is a teacher.

1979 “Flesh and Blood”: Suzanne Pleshette plays the seductress in this film, which is more haunting than the others from that time. You see, the boy she seduces turns out to be her college-age son.

1968 “Oedipus the King”: Christopher Plummer plays Sophocles’ Greek tragic hero who unknowingly marries his mother and has children with her. Lilli Palmer plays the older but sexy Jocasta, and Donald Sutherland appears as the head of the chorus that tells the story.

1997 “My Stepson, My Lover”: Rachel Ward plays a doctor who, after marrying one of her wealthy patients, begins a sexual relationship with the man’s son. The film is highlighted by a fiery love scene on the steps of a bungalow overlooking the lake.

1978 “Moment by Moment”: Two stars associated primarily with comedy, John Travolta and Lily Tomlin, get caught up in this serious romantic drama. Yvonne Elliman’s title song endures as a bigger hit than the movie.

1967’s “The Graduate” – This Oscar-nominated classic set the stage for all older woman seduction films as young Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) fights back and then welcomes sexual innuendo from his neighbor, the Mrs. Robinson (Ann Bancroft). The comedy takes a turn when Benjamin becomes romantic with his daughter.

2006’s “Notes on a Scandal”: Cate Blanchett plays a teacher who seduces one of her male students on several occasions, only to be discovered by a fellow teacher (Judi Dench) who has a crush on Blanchett’s character. Both Dench and Blanchett received Academy Award nominations for the film.
