Harold and Maude
"Hands-down, Harold and Maude. I am in awe of everything the great Hal Ashby ever directed (if you don't love Being There or Shampoo I can't be friends with you), but Harold And Maude is truly everything you could ever want in a movie experience: Loads of severely twisted humor, an unpredictable love story, rich Bay Area cinematography, a dark — mostly unrevealed — subtext, mad early-'70s style, and the king of all soundtracks, courtesy of Cat Stevens. My favorite line? Maude's, of course:  'Try something new each day. After all, we’re given life to find it out. It doesn’t last forever.'"
