Harold and Maude

about death and life and death and life.. saw it for the first time in high school and have many times since then. one of those amazing films that tells you the obvious, enjoy life while you can! memento mori. just wish i had his car, never saw a better looking jag!

funny movie. very individualistic (which is a good thing).
Love knows no limits, life is all about choices, and it shouldn't matter what people think.

I've been watching this movie for 20 years and it always delivers. I showed it to my 16 year old niece for the first time last month and she's still talking about it. If you haven't seen it, watch it, and if you have watch it again.

What a treasure this is. Ruth Gordon is fantastic. This movie deserves deluxe treatment. One of my all time favorite films.

Wow, I first saw this movie in my on-campus theater for fifty cents back in 1973, and laughed my rear end off... my roommate and I never forgot certain scenes. Fast forward to 2007, when I discovered the paperback book by Colin Higgins in a used book sale. I bought it, brought it home, and both my teenage kids read it in an afternoon and LOVED it. I rented the movie this past fall & watched it with my daughter (my son is now at the same college where I first saw "Harold & Maude" 34 years ago, haha!)and we laughed our rear ends off once again, which led to my buying the DVD. It's a hilarious movie, perfectly cast and I do mean PERFECTLY cast, especially the fabulous actress who plays Harold's mother. Wow, they don't make movies like this anymore. Even with Cat Stevens' sometimes-goofy soundtrack, the movie stands up and is still fresh, unexpected, touching without being schmaltzy, and ultimately invigorating, and that's true for me, at 52, and for my daughter at 17. Highly recommended. By the way, I rated this five stars, but it only shows four, and I can't seem to change it. But it's five stars.
