Thursday, July 3: Harold and Maude (1971)
Nominated for two Academy Awards (Best Actor, Bud Cort and Best Actress, Ruth Gordon) and featuring original music by Cat Stevens, Harold & Maude is one of the defining cult films of the 1970s. This romantic dark comedy tells the story of Harold Chasen (Cort), a young man obsessed with death, and 79-year-old Maude (Gordon), who is determined to live life to the fullest. A seemingly unlikely duo, they are two people who deeply understand one another and whose friendship blossoms into something more. Writer Colin Higgins wrote the screenplay as part of his master’s thesis while a film student at UCLA. In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked Harold & Maude number 86 on its list of the “101 Greatest Screenplays” ever written.
