Anyone Else Here A Harold and Maude Fan?

[Quixote1818]

Just saw it tonight and forgot how good it was. Got to love that Cat Stevens sound track.

[Spiffarino]

1. Loved it.

Saw it when I was a kid and didn't understand it all that well, but I remember Ruth Gordon was really funny. I didn't pick up on the teen angst theme until much later.

[Khephra]

2. I love cult movies

But H & M isn't one of them. I do love Harold's car, though.

[TlalocW]

3. Yeah, I liked that movie a lot

I've seen it a couple of times. One of my best friends from high school says it's one of his favorite movies, and I have to say that it has one of the best openings of any movie I've seen.

And being a Cat Stevens fan helps as well.

4. Favorite movie of all time.

I watch it at least once a year, and sometimes when I'm depressed.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. One of my all time favorite movies

I've seen it many times..and it's always good...and the movie that made me want to see everything Ruth Gordon ever did...

[WinterStorm]

6. I'm a big Ruth Gordon fan

I also love Cat Stevens music.

[Amaya]

7. LOVE IT!!!!

Best. Movie. Ever.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I love that movie!

Makes me want to go save a tree! :evilgrin:

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. Got to see it on the big screen again

a couple of summers ago they were showing it at a retro theater. Gotta love that little Jaguar.

10. finish this sentence

"I would be remiss in my duties if I did not tell you that . . . "

11. Whatever Happened to Bud Cort (Harold)?

Did he just drop off the face of the earth or something?

And is he a Democrat or something unspeakable?

[Philostopher]

14. Actually, Bud Cort is in that new movie

Bill Murray is making, 'The Life Aquatic.' I was surprised to see his name in the list -- he hasn't done a lot, over the years. What kind of freaked me out is the current picture of him on IMDB makes him look like a bald version of my ex-husband.

I loved Harold and Maude, too. A friend of mine and I used to rent it repeatedly from a video store. When their copy wore out, I bought him a copy of it for Christmas -- when we wanted to see it, we really wanted to see it.

Being an aging nonconformist chick myself, I should probably rent it and watch it again -- Maude was a great nontraditional archetype.

12. For some bizarre reason

My junior high school decided that an occasional trip
to the movies for the entire grade was a "field trip".
Movies we went to were "Airport" and "Harold and Maude".
Kind of strange. Should see Harold and Maude again.

13. info on bud cort

I love "Harold and Maude" but for just plain weirdness I think "Brewster McCloud" takes the gold.

Here's a snippet of info from the Internet Movie Database.

"In 1979, his life and career was nearly destroyed by a near-fatal car accident on the Hollywood Freeway. Consequently, he spent years enduring plastic surgery, enormous hospital bills, a losing court case, and the disruption of his blooming career."

Great Bud Cort quote:

"Ever since "Harold and Maude" people have generally regarded me as an arbiter of weirdness. So, I'll tell you what I find weird: I find malice, violence, and poverty weird."

24. Judging by that quote

He sounds like one helluva guy. :)

[NashVegas]

15. My Favorite Line / Sequence

"I wouldn't say it was for her benefit." Or something like that. Cut to blow torch.

[Misunderestimator]

16. I dreamed of owning a Hearse after that movie...

I think I need to rent that and see it again. Thanks! :)

(edited to remove the pics... after reading the site's policy :))

17. I saw it over twenty times in the movie theater

My favorite movie

[BeFree]

18. Ayuh...

Only line I remember is:
"Bird doodoo, bird doodoo, get that off my car, McCloud, you faggot!"
Weird, eh?
***************

Wow, Harold and Maude.... brings back a flood of memories... the youth, the vigor, the vigorous youthful sex. The smoky theaters, the fast cars, the smoky fast sex.

Those were the good old days.....
These are the good old days.

[sffreeways]

19. YES !

I have it on DVD, I think it was the first DVD I ever bought. That is one great film !

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. One of my favorite films.

It has affected my life profoundly.

Shut up! I mean that, it really has! Not everything I say is a joke, people. :eyes:

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Probably my favorite movie of all time.

No movie has had a more profound effect on me (I first saw it when I was 10 years old.)

The scene where Cat Stevens' "Trouble" is playing, while Maude is being rushed to the hospital, makes me weep every time.

[tigereye]

25. I knew there was a reason I liked you guys!

so where's Chavez, does he like it too?


One of my all time faves! We watch it every so often and it just makes us laugh, and cry and feel really good.

[catmandu57]

22. What do you do for fun?

I go to funerals.
At least that's how I remember the line.

[redqueen]

23. YES!

I love his car... love love love... and the music... and the end... one of my favorite movies ever.
