The Top 15 Movies With "Cougar" Characters

June 2, 2011

Harold and Maude

3 / 18

"Young, rich, and obsessed with death, Harold finds himself changed forever when he meets lively septuagenarian Maude at a funeral." (Now there's a synopsis!) They consummate their relationship at some point, but this May/December romance shows, more importantly, that age is but a number when eccentricity is the tie that binds two weirdos together.

I'm surprised "Secret To My Success" was not included!

You forgot some of the films from the 40s and 50s, like "Humoresque" and "All That Heaven Allows".

I loved "Unfaithful"! Diane Lane's character was great and so was Richard Gere's. It made it easy to understand how something can get out of control. BTW, what age difference determines "cougar"? 10 year difference or old enough to be his mother?

Missing one of the best cougar movies "A Tiger's Tale" great cougar centric plot and sexy as hell older lady Ann Margaret.

Good suggestions, you guys! Staple: I LOVE Ali Fear Eats the Soul! And I think "Faithful" and "Summer of 42" and "Ali" may just have to be in the next Cougar films slide show!

**** I can't believe Tres'Sugar missed THE cougar movie of all time - "Summer of 42". This is a must-see movie - aside from the cougarness - the story is incredible, the acting exquisite. If you haven't seen it, it is a must see.

Poptart! I LOVE the movie 'Unfaithful'... Richard Gere, I think, did some of his best acting in that movie - not to mention Diane Lane.

The Rainer Werner Herzog film, "Ali Fear Eats the Soul" has a massive May/December romance at it's centre. It's about a woman who falls in love with a young immigrant boy and how her family and friends react to the cultural stigmas (granted, the plot focuses more on the German racism toward Middle Eastern and Turks more than old woman and younger guy romance). Good, but really sad movie though.
