Who has seen 'Harold and Maude'?

[thestatusquo]

It's one of my all time favorite movies, but I can't find anyone at school that has seen it (maybe too young?). If you have seen it, first of all, I commend you on being an awesome human being, and what are your thoughts about the film?:yourock:

[Taverner]

1. That movie is awesome!

The Cat Stevens music...the whole attitude of living life to the fullest...

Love that flick - but whatever happened to Bud Cort?

"HAROLD! THAT WAS YOUR LAST DATE!"

On Edit: Check out this awesome page on the flick - http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/5862/harold.htm

3. Cat is great!

He refused to release all the songs he wrote for the movie in a soundtrack because, he said, they were meant to be part of the movie. That is so cool! No artist nowadays would do that!

"Everyone has the right to make an ass of themselves" Oh, Maude.....

I hope I'm like her when I'm eighty.

5. Cort

He got a few more jobs. I don't suppose he ever got rich.

16. Did a couple of things with Jon Favreau...................

I agree he didn't get rich, but it sounds like he did alright. Good for old Walter a.k.a: Bud.

[Sporadicus]

As God in 'Dogma.'

10. The ladt who plays Harold's mom is Great!

And the army general with the retractable arm? Priceless!

[The Zanti Regent]

7. Ah, what memories

it was 1974 and I was in college (PITT). THese were the "Cult" films at the time:

Harold and Maude,
Pink Flamingos,
King of Hearts (With Bambi Vs. Godzilla and Lenny Bruce's Thank You Masked Man!)
Fantasia,
Deep Throat,
The Marx Brothers "At The Circus",
The Prisoner

I have them all on DVD and when I put them in the player, I'm transported back to a bittersweet time...

27. did you see them at the Playhouse?

we used to jump on the bus and see so many great movies. I miss those days! Wow. There really isn't a movie house like that here now.

12. Thanks teddy

And yes, the hearse is awesome.

[Nlighten1]

11. Very, very cool movie.

[Taverner]

13. Of course what pisses me off is how "Something about Mary"...

totally missed the fucking point of the movie....

[Webster Green]

14. One of my all time favorites!

I've seen it a million times...well...almost. I have dragged so many people to see it that I would never remember them all. A lot of those times were back in DC in the early seventies, when it ran at the Key theatre in Georgetown for months, maybe years. You could go see a double header with 'Harold and Maude', and 'The Harder they Come'. What a great soundtrack of Cat Stevens songs.

Timely quote from Maude: "How the world so loves a cage".......can't remember the rest of that line, but......Maude would not be pleased with current events.

[meg]

15. I loved that film

I've seen it more than 20 times. I first saw it when it was released. The opening scenes are awesome! Loved the pool and Maude's 'tricky turn'.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

17. I find it at the same time uplifting...............

and really depressing. I really liked the Cat Stevens soundtrack.

[Lin]

18. The military uncle's SALUTE! maude: "Of course I love people...

Thery're my SPECIES"!! Should be mandatory viewing for young ppl. great life lessons -

[NightTrain]

19. Me! Me!

In fact, when I was a teen-ager, other folks who had seen the film told me how strongly I resembled the Bud Cort of 1971.

[northofdenali]

20. First saw it in about 1975 at a ...............drive-in! Loved it!

It was double-billed with, get this, Wizards. I think I went to the drive-in 17 times that month!

[muchacho]

21. black comedies

Beautiful love story, great acting and a fine soundtrack from a guy that unfortunately went nuts.

But I love black comedies....

[Whitacre D_WI]

22. Great film.

One of my favorites.

[BrotherBuzz]

24. "Here today, gone tomorrow....

Soit's best not to get attached to things!"

Great Film on a zillion levels...

"I've collected a few things in my time . . . but it's all incidental, not integral, if you you know what I mean."

[no_hypocrisy]

25. "Live! Live! Live! Otherwise, you have nuthin' to talk about in the

locker room!"

One of Ruth Gordon's finest performances.

The movie should be re-released . . .

[proud patriot]

26. I saw that movie when I was a kid

I'll never forget the Jag Herse or Ruth Gordon
Love that women .

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

I also like the sports car customized into a hearse.
