Darkly funny, eccentrically charming, and heart-warmingly tender, "Harold and Maude" will teach you more about life (and death) than most self-help books. Ruth Gordon as Maude steals the show with her vivacious zest, and Bud Cort's Harold is the perfect foil with his emo-like fascination with death. Their shared interests? Funerals and a blatant disregard for societal norms. This black comedy revolves around the unconventional relationship between Harold, a morose, death-obsessed young man, and Maude, a lively septuagenarian with a lust for life. ![]() If you think all romantic comedies are sappy, cookie-cutter affairs with 20-something leads, allow "Harold and Maude" to delightfully prove you wrong. Like a car crash you can't look away from, except the crash is brimming with radioactive aliens and a searing punk aesthetic. With its offbeat humor, snappy punk soundtrack, and unabashedly weird storyline, "Repo Man" is as eclectic as a film can get. Directed by Alex Cox, this film stars a young Emilio Estevez as Otto, a rebellious punk rocker turned car repossessor, who finds himself embroiled in a bizarre quest for a 1964 Chevy Malibu with a suspiciously radioactive trunk. If you were ever curious about what would happen if you tossed science fiction, punk rock, and a disillusioned car repossessor into a cinematic blender, "Repo Man" would be your frothy, unforgettable result.
