Unfortunately it doesn't seem to include the two trailers on the OOP Paramount DVD.

They're among the most brilliant and unconventional trailers I've ever seen - gorgeously edited rhythmic montages of imagery and moments from the film set to the Cat Stevens songs.

They also feature a number of deleted scenes and shots, including my favorite in the whole film, a lovely moment in which Harold & Maude sit at the water's edge, at sunset, silhouetted, while standing on the beach next to them ar ehuge wooden letters saying "F#$K WAR". (Obviously spelled correctly). It's a gorgeous, romantic, hopeful image that shows why swearing isn't always a bad thing, and it was my desktop on my computer for ages.

Guess I have to hang onto my old DVD for the trailers.

Still, excited to see it's making its way to Blu. It's so gorgeously photographed, I can't wait to see it after the wretched DVD. (Even the trailers on the DVD have better image quality than the feature.)
