#213. Midnight Cowboy

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 gut you even worse.
