Harold and Maude 09/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

In Hal Ashby's idiosyncratic American fable, one of cinema's most beloved comedies, a death-obsessed young man from a wealthy family (Bud Cort) forms an emotional and romantic bond with a devil-may-care bohemian sixty years older than him (Ruth Gordon). Working from Colin Higgins's script, the film mixes gallows humor with beguiling sincerity, dissolving the lines between darkness and light — and between people divided by class, gender and age — and features indelible performances and a remarkable Cat Stevens soundtrack.
