I don't want to rewatch Harold and Maude but I also don't want this thread to die, so I will tell you my thoughts leftover from watching it years ago.
I was an awkward freshman in college. I was surprised when a girl in my pilates class spoke to me. She said, "You remind me of Harold." I was confused, so she proceeded to tell me about the movie Harold and Maude. She offered to lend it to me and I accepted.
The film lurked too close to the surface. I didn't really identify with Harold. I expected a romance between Harold and Maude, but it never developed in any satisfying way. Romance was mostly one-sided on Harold's part, with Maude taking the position of loving old woman with Lessons of Life to teach a young child.
I was almost moved at the end, but the stupid final scene - especially the "dramatic" freeze frame attempt to raise the scene's tension - just made me laugh. I hoped to leave the film filled with ideas and questions, but ended up with only mild amusement.
I'm focusing on the negative here since that's what I do best, but I really did enjoy it. It really is better than the average movie. I was just expecting more.

I demand you bump the "ask the poster above you a question" thread.
