Plot: Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its original release, "Midnight Cowboy is still heartbreakingand timeless" (The New York Observer). This Academy AwardŽ win...( read more read more... )ner for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay also boasts OscarŽ-nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, neither of whom have "ever been better on screen than they are here" (Chicago Tribune).

When Joe Buck (Voight), a good-looking,naively charming Texas "cowboy" makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealthhe finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo (Hoffman), a scrounging, sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond one that transcends their broken dreams and get-rich-quick schemes and makes Midnight Cowboy "that rarest of things: [a film] every bit as moving now as it was when it was [first] released" (Premiere).

    Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight...John Barry's Oscar nominated score and the first ever "X" rated feature to win the Oscar for Best Picture in 1969.

    This film is and incredibly powerful and difficult experience. Voight and Hoffman are superb but its so unrelentingly depressing it can hardly be called an "enjoyable" experience! A film everyone must see, if only once.

    An iconic American film with superb acting and dialogue. Received an X-rating when it was first released because of its nude scenes were graphic for its time, but was later reduced to R at a later time.

    Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo is great, felt a tad sad at the end of the movie. Jon Voight play a great cowboy/gigilo! 'Everybody's Talking At Me!'

    visceral and moving film about street life in New York...at times can be uncomfortable to watch, which gives the film that much more of an impact.

    Very heavy film but incredibly well done. Jon Vogiht has never been hotter and Dustin Hoffman is very funny as a con artist who befriends him. Great soundtrack. I love this movie.
