Midnight Cowboy https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Midnight_Cowboy.jpg Dir: John Schlesinger Genre: Drama Year: 1969 It's hard to believe that this was rated X upon release. Watching it now and it's as tame as any show on FX (maybe even tamer), but I guess implying gay sex will do that to your movie in the 60s. Midnight Cowboy is just a really cool-looking film. It incorporates the psychedelic aesthetic without being overwhelming, and it paints a picture of the beginning of my favorite era of New York City (grimy 60s/70s) better than most movies of the time. Dustin Hoffman and John Voight are totally brilliant here, and their great chemistry/dynamic really just makes the ending --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
