Based on a James Leo Herlihy novel, British director John Schlesinger's first American film dramatized the small hopes, dashed dreams, and unlikely friendship of two late '60s lost souls. Dreaming of an easy life as a fantasy cowboy stud, cheerful Texas rube Joe Buck (Jon Voight) heads to New York City to be a gigolo, but he quickly discovers that hustling isn't what he thought it would be after he winds up paying his first trick (Sylvia Miles). He gets swindled by gimpy tubercular grifter Rico "Ratso" Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) but, when Joe falls in the direst of straits, Ratso takes Joe into his condemned apartment so that they can help each other survive. Things start to look up when Joe finally lands his first legit female customer (Brenda Vaccaro) at a Warhol-esque party; Ratso's health, however, fails. Joe turns a final trick to get the money for one selfless goal: taking Ratso out of New York to his dream life in Miami.

One of the first major studio films given the newly minted X rating for its then-frank portrayal of New York decadence, Midnight Cowboy was critically praised for Schlesinger's insight into American lives, with the intercut mosaic of Joe's memories and Ratso's dreams lending their characters and actions greater psychological complexity. While they may have been drawn by the seamy content (tame by current standards), the young late '60s audience responded to Joe's and Ratso's confusion amidst turbulent times and to the connection they make with each other despite their alienation from the surrounding culture. Midnight Cowboy became one of the major financial and artistic hits of 1969, winning Oscars for Best Picture (the first for an X-rated film), Best Director, and former blacklistee Waldo Salt's screenplay. Though the one-two punch of Midnight Cowboy and The Graduate (1967) proved Hoffman's range and Voight's Joe Buck made him a star, both lost Best Actor to classical cowboy John Wayne for True Grit. The film was later re-rated R by the MPAA.

IMDB

After earning notoriety as one of the first major studio films to be given an X rating (it was later re-rated R), Midnight Cowboy made history as the first X-rated film to win an Oscar for Best Picture. A brutal depiction of broken dreams and lives asunder in the fetid backwash of the swinging Sixties, Cowboy shocked audiences with its squalid subject matter and signaled a trend towards films that explored lurid and personal material. Whereas the mere suggestion of a blow job in Cowboy was scandalous in 1969, the film helped pave the way for later mainstream films in which a blow job might have as much shock value as the weather forecast. For that reason, Cowboy loses a substantial part of its impact when viewed all these years after its original release. That said, as a buddy film and as an ode to the impossibility of liberation from reality, the film retains a certain timelessness. Jon Voight's handsome but stupid Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman's desperate, verminous Ratso Rizzo remain iconic figures, symbolic of the resigned, bitter ending of a decade built on the tenets of liberation, progressive change, and the promise of collective struggle. The fate of Buck and Rizzo suggests that such liberation is illusory, and that human relations, no matter how tender they ultimately may be, are part of a quiet, desperate bid for acceptance and belonging.

Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

I would say that Voigt and Hoffman have never been better on screen. They play in perfect balance to each other and Schlesinger's direction is nothing short of inspirational. Often forgotten, this masterpiece was groundbreaking for its day and any day. It was a surprise best picture Oscar winner. It tackled issue such as homelessness, insanity, sex-trade, drugs and death. Compliment all this with possibly the most memorable soundtrack (Harry Nilsson) you will hear in a decade. Those who watch "Midnight Cowboy" never forget it and the film deserves its distinct place in cinema history.

Gary W. Tooze

Remember when films were full of really great actors, looked at sex without prissy morality or sugary romance, and didn't have a Gwyneth Paltrow or a Tom Hanks in sight? I don't either - I wasn't born, but, back then, they made movies like this.

"Midnight Cowboy" is, in my opinion, one of the ten greatest films ever made. It is one of the many American films that prove that American film makers are as sophisticated, intelligent and creative as their peers in any country.

It is, truly, a masterpiece.

Midnight Cowboy (1969)

Voight plays a Southern dummy who's got it into his head that he can fuck his brains out in the big smoke and make a fortune. Thinking New York City is just a slightly bigger version of home, he throws in his job, jumps on the bus, and heads after his ill-conceived dream.

There, he finds that most of his potential clients are better "hustlers" than he is, and he falls in a heap. There, he meets Hoffmann, a street rat who dreams of nothing more than sitting in the sun.

They hook up, and it's absolutely magical.
