Unca C I grew up in San Mateo and was 10 when the film was made. Saw it in 1976 at a midnight showing at the Manor Theater I think. it was nostalgia-inducing even 5 years after it was made. It just keeps getting to be more and more a time capsule as I get older. The train car in San Carlos, the old Dumbarton Bridge, The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, hiking the hills of Woodside, Sutro Baths, Half Moon Bay, Peninsula Hospital, Colma, on and on, everything is familiar. Most of that stuff is still around, but it is all so much different. Beyond that, the story is just such a joy to watch. Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort just nail this to perfection. The soundtrack is such a perfect match. All in 1:31, there isn't really any wasted time. Just a gem of a movie. Every 10 years ar so I watch the movie and it makes me smile and laugh as I did the first time I saw it. My kids all love it as well. Definitely in my top 5.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review john h The dark humor is expressed so weird that people are more shocked while only a niche group of fans will confidently laugh out loud. The film is almost entirely fabricated of an alienated, different and unexpected route of unconventional narrative - which might explain its cult following. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Kyle C This is a weird movie – probably weirder than you’re expecting. It’s got that sort of Monty Python style of irreverent sketch comedy but with a lot more depth and heart. The film’s timing is spot on in everything from its musical transitions, driving home emotional connections, to its precise camera cuts, bringing out the comedic stylings of the script and the cast. It’s either a feel-good or feel-bad movie, depending on who you ask. Personally, I just left feeling a little off: certainly impacted, but also strangely empty. It’s hard to say what’s missing, if anything, but the film feels like it lacks a conclusion in some way. Regardless, with an excellent soundtrack from Cat Stevens and some really funny, awkward comedy, Harold and Maude is worth checking out if you can sit with the discomfort of it all.
