*** Harold & Maude ***

They met at the funeral of a perfect stranger. From then on, things got
perfectly stranger and stranger. (Original 1971 tagline)

(USA, 1971)  Directed by Hal Ashby. Starring Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort.

Awards: Nominated for Golden Globes for Best Actor (Bud Cort) and Best 
Actress (Ruth Gordon).

Memorable Quotes:

Maude: A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they're not dead, really. 
They're just... backing away from life. Reach out. Take a chance. Get
hurt, even! Play as well as you can. Go team! GO! Give me an L! Give me
an I! Give me a V! Give me an E! L. I. V. E. LIVE! ...Otherwise, you got
nothing to talk about in the locker room.

Harold: What were you fighting for?
Maude: Oh, Big Issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice. Kings died and kingdoms 
fell. You know, I don't regret the kingdoms--I see no sense in borders
and nations and patriotism--but I do miss the kings.

Maude: He thought they were the most beautiful birds in the world. Then
he found they were only seagulls.

Maude: Vice, virtue, it's best not to be too moral - you cheat yourself
out of too much life. Aim above morality.

Trivia:

When considering the role of Harold, Bud Cort asked the opinion of
director Robert Altman, his mentor. Altman cautioned that rising star
Cort might find himself forever typecast.

Fearing that he would be typecast as crazy, Bud Cort turned down the
Jack Nicholson role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). His next
film wasn't until 1977.
