MIDNIGHT COWBOY "Sometimes a time capsule never dates...To watch Midnight Cowboy is to find one of the great rewards of the movies, two of the finest performances ever seen, and a city made new every time you watch it." |

| "The performances have a flat, painful accuracy. The world of Times Square, a world of people without hope and esteem, seems terribly real. Here is America's underbelly and it even smells that way." – Roger Ebert "It is ultimately a moving experience that captures the quality of a time and a place." – Vincent Canby, The New York Times "If you think this film is no longer in the cultural vernacular, don't forget Borat's homage." – Time Out New York “What knocked people out 25 years ago—the parallel performances of Voight and Hoffman—still have power today…” – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times |

(1969, John Schlesinger) “Everybody’s talkin’” at cowboy-geared, straight-from-the-sticks stud wannabe Jon Voight — who immediately becomes the hustler hustled — while seedy tenement squatter Dustin Hoffman is “walkin’ here” as he storms at a pushy cabdriver; but they form their own alliance within the grubby underside of Times Square. Oscars for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay (Waldo Salt), among 7 Oscar nominations. Approx. 113 min.
