Harold and Maude (DVD, 2000, Sensormatic)

Love conquers all

One of the best wacky and funny love stories of it's time. Great characters, great story and one of the best sound tracks any movie can have by Cat Stevens. Ruth Gordon has one of the best part she ever played and Bud Cort has the demeanor down perfect for his character Harold. I recommend this movie to everyone, its one of my favorites.

An icon of liberation

Even today this movie might shock people. But, in reality, it is all about love, the redemption of a young man and building his capacity to go into adulthood with poise and equanimity. His mentor is a concentration camp survivor who had learned the value of love and joy not just occasionally but all the time. The spontaneity of her reactions to the simplest and most beautiful of events certainly contributed to the young man's maturation. It was a fun and happy movie with macabre twists that amused us immensely. Read full review

Cult Classic

Ruth Gordon is devilish in this movie. The premise, the character profiles, and the acting is simply great. When originally released, it was hardly noticed until much later and it finally caught the public's attention. About two weeks before Ruth Gordon's death she attend a showing of this movie with a group of Harold And Maude fans. Worthy addition to my DVD collection, one I will watch several times.Read full review

Harold And Maude- a man learns to live and love and suffer loss, all in one movie.

Perfect copy of Harold and Maude Ruth Gordon summered on Martha's Vineyard, and she shopped in our market, and was just as full of life in person as on screen. We watched this movie every summer above the town hall, and our sail boat was named Maude, and the dingy was Harold. This is a timeless movie, and now that I live in Santa Cruz, Ca., I daily drive by the bridge where they sat overlooking the boardwalk, and drive up Highway One where the Jag drove in the rain. So it's still a part of my life. Hope you like it as much as i do.Read full review

Great Acting

Yes, there are a few monumentally weird things that happen in this movie. But the acting is amazing. I didn't like the casting for Maude, personally. I couldn't stand her to be honest, with all of her overflowing predictable eccentricity. But Bud Cort's acting is thoroughly perfect, especially since movies these days leave you thirsting for a cerebral humorous performance from an actor. His mother in the movie is hilarious. The movie is FULL of subtle hilariousness, take note especially if you are used to being spoon-fed plot like so many movies do. For instance there is a scene where Harold is in his therapist's office, and the two of them are wearing the exact same suit, down to socks and tie. And then another where Harold's mother tells him to "eat his beets" at the dinner table, and he immediately starts gobbling them. Things like that. I was rolling laughing quite a few times. A very unusual film with many pricelessly funny moments.Read full review

Wonderful classic

Great cult classic film. Harold & Maude is a great dark comedy that has just the right blend of touching moments and laugh-out-loud bits. The performances are great, and this film is like a short time travel back to the early 1970's.Read full review

Dark Humor A "Cougar" In Rarest Form- 5 Star Cult Classic

One of the funniest, well written,dark humor, movies of all time. A young man obsessed with death and an 80 year old woman obsessed with life. They cross paths while attending funerals and the story ensues from there. A lot of tongue in cheek, laugh out loud moments. Set in the 1970's but might as well be current. The relationship between Gordon and Cort gives a new meaning to "Cougar". A must see and must have movie. If you love dark, dry humor this cult classic is one for your collection!Read full review
