acting tour de force!MIDNIGHT COWBOY will always be a classic due to the superb acting by Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. Top notch performances also by Sylvia Miles, Brenda Vaccaro, Barnard Hughes and splendid direction by John Schlesinger and a legendary song 'Everybodys Talkin' by Harry Nilsson. Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. This film released in 1969 brings two 'losers' together in the big city and their unlikely relationship culminates in one of the most impressionable final film scenes of all-time. A little dated as far as the outrageous party scenes but still a powerful, emotional film. May 7, 2008
I Don't Get It
I didn't get this at all!! The flashbacks were totally confusing Dustin Hoffman talking like a cartoon character while limping through the city was irritating and Jon Voight was boring. I know this is supposed to be one the best movies ever made, but I didn't like it at all. May 4, 2008
A MASTERPICE
It's one of the films that made the late sixties and seventies the second golden age of film making. When you're talking about human nature nothing can be outdated. The script is superb and the director and cast do it full justice. If your a film student or film buff you have, no doubt, seen this or know about it.
If you've never heard of it I suggest you move on. April 27, 2008
Pushing buttons.
Midnight Cowboy is a good film but not perfect. When this film was released, it was rated X but if this movie was made today it wouldn't shock people like it did then. The best thing about Midnight Cowboy is the acting, Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman are electric. Complicated and gritty film but one to see, enjoy! April 24, 2008
Not as bad as you might expect
Sure, it's dated. I guess it was pioneering in its time. But still a fine character study and a brilliant performance by Dustin Hoffman as Ratso. Slow getting started, perhaps because the humor has been done many times since this movie was made, but I didn't mind. It's fun to see the seventies captured so accurately if you were actually alive to see them the first time around. March 14, 2008
