I got my 21 year old male friend to watch Harold & Maude. At first, he seemed to like it. Then he sees them in bed together and is like "HE HAS SEX WITH THE OLD BAG??!!!!! I can understand Mrs. Robinson but that is just disgusting!". I disagree with him but just his reaction...
sharethis is one of those movies that are litmus tests to peoples tastes and psyche. It's a dark comedy in the purest sense, not everyone's humor runs to these tastes.
myself, i've always used this movie as a starting point with dating. if she wasn't going to get this movie, she wasn't going to get my humor lol
if you've never seen an elephant ski, then you've never been on acid.
