This week on Total Movie Recall, we watch the first Manic Pixie Dream Girl ever on screen, who is not a girl at all, but is most decidedly a woman. It\\u2019s the perfect post-2020 movie, and not just because of the constant suicides. It\\u2019s twee and precious and we absolutely loved it.

Harold & Maude (1971)

d. Hal Ashby

w. Colin Higgins

Music by: Cat Steven (Yusuf Islam)

Starring:
Ruth Gordon
Bud Cort
Vivian Pickles

Cult classic pairs Cort as a dead-pan disillusioned 20-year-old obsessed with suicide and a loveable Gordon as a fun-loving 80-year-old eccentric. They meet at a funeral, and develop a taboo romantic relationship, in which they explore the tired theme of the meaning of life with a fresh perspective.
