Countercultural director Hal Ashby tells the story of the emotional and romantic bond between a death-obsessed young man from a wealthy family and a devil-may-care, bohemian octogenarian. Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, Harold and Maude dissolves the line between darkness and light along with the ones that separate people by class, gender, and age. The cult classic of its era, featuring indelible performances and a soundtrack by Cat Stevens.

One of the best movie of all time submitted by doctorfang on August 2, 2015, 1:46am This may be my favorite movie. Dark humor and an endearing story, combined with a soundtrack of Cat Stevens songs make this a must-see.

Quirky dark humor with a lot of excellent messages submitted by Kimberlyrol on July 17, 2019, 11:18am Cat Stevens’ sound track is the perfect accompaniment to this film. A lot of messages such as live life to the fullest, don’t blindly trust/follow the establishment. Highly recommend.

Harold and Maude blu-ray submitted by a2sue on July 19, 2019, 8:48am The blu-ray of Harold and Maude is extremely interesting. It's an offbeat story, and I enjoy films like that. Good soundtrack, too!!

It ages well, too! submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 11:02am Unlike a lot of films much admired at the time, this one has staying power. And style. The characters, acting, plot, and music, with humor thrown in but serious philosophy at its heart, add up to one terrific picture.
