	Midnight Cowboy :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews
		Long after it was first released, "Midnight Cowboy" remains one of a handful of films that stay in our memory after the others have evaporated.
		"Midnight Cowboy" should have been about their self-discovery, about the process that took place as they learned to know each other.
		Note: "Midnight Cowboy" was rated "X" by the MPAA when it was first released, and became the first (and last) X-rated film to win an Academy Award as best picture.

	CELLULOID DREAMS: Reviews - Midnight Cowboy Coll. Ed. (DVD)
		Midnight Cowboy was based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy who had nothing but praise for the film version.
		Cowboy was then re-released with the ‘X’ changed to an R-rating --without a single scene or shot having been cut.
		Midnight Cowboy is outstanding in every department—directing, acting, ensemble cast, sets, art-direction, cinematography, dialogue, story, music, editing, etc. Even the minor characters stand out including bit parts by Sylvia Miles, Brenda Vaccaro, John McGiver and Barnard Hughes.

	Midnight Cowboy - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - The New York Times
		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.
		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 fllistee 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.

	Midnight Cowboy - John Barry
		Midnight Cowboy is one of those movies which leaves a strong impression on its audience.
		This sound is central to both the Joe Buck Rides Again track and the main midnight cowboy theme, and also provides an interlude in at least one version of the "Everybody's Talkin'" title song (which neatly unifies the two main title themes).
		Midnight Cowboy was one of the first occasions where his unique talents were used on film, but certainly not his last.

	Jon Voight Biography
		Two major roles, in Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance - and then bang, gone, but remembered forever as both a pin-up and a consummate, risk-taking artiste, personifying his generation.
		Midnight Cowboy, a novel written by James Leo Herlihy, concerned a sexually confused Texas dishwasher named Joe Buck, who travels to New York City in the hope of becoming a gigolo kept in fine style by rich women.
		He was desperate to forge an intellectual, political and spiritual connection with some great film-maker and he believed he may have found this with Midnight Cowboy.

	‘Midnight Cowboy’ (R)
		But "Midnight Cowboy," rereleased after 25 years, is also a great picture, 113 minutes of stirring stuff, set to the ironic lilt of Jean "Toots" Thielemans's harmonica and Harry Nilsson's theme tune, "Everybody's Talkin'."
		But this "Cowboy" is back in the saddle -- and on the big screen.
		"Midnight Cowboy" Is rated R and contains profanity, drug use and sexually graphic situations.

	Midnight Cowboy \| The A.V. Club
		To some, John Schlesinger's Oscar-winning 1969 street-hustler drama Midnight Cowboy stands beside Easy Rider and Bonnie And Clyde as one of the edgy '60s movies that proved how an American New Wave could be financially viable.
		What Midnight Cowboy most has in common with the American masterpieces that followed over the next five or six years is a mastery of subtle emotions, like loneliness, exclusion, and a yearning for something elusive.
		Midnight Cowboy bleeds with that feeling, and though it may not be the best film of its era, it's at least the best Best Picture.

	The Shattered Dreams of Joe Buck and Ratso Rizzo
		Midnight Cowboy represents an historical landmark in a number of ways.
		He is a male bimbo, with an accent to match, and with occasional bouts of foolish talk, his attempt at impressing people: ("I ain`t a ferreal cowboy, but I`m sure am one hell of a stud!!") Yet Jon Voight creates a lot of sympathy and reality to this guy.
		We know that his view of the world, and his hopes for the future, are totally fantastical and misguided; we know that only a naive fool would expect to walk into NYC and be able to sleep with rich women for cash, but we believe in him all the same.

	Filmmaker John Schlesinger Dies, Oscar-Winng Director Of 'Midnight Cowboy' Was Ill - CBS News
		Schlesinger broke ground in 1969 with his first American film, "Midnight Cowboy." It starred Jon Voight as a naive Texan who turns to prostitution to survive in New York and Dustin Hoffman as the scuzzy, ailing vagrant Ratso Rizzo.
		The gay theme of "Midnight Cowboy" was regarded as scandalous, and it was originally rated X. But the tale of outcasts trying to survive in a merciless metropolis was embraced by critics and Hollywood despite its shocking sequences.
		After "Midnight Cowboy," Schlesinger explored homosexuality again in his next project with 1971's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," which starred Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson as acquaintances who each reluctantly share a love for the same young man. The director received another Oscar nomination for the film.

	Midnight Cowboy
		Midnight Cowboy's greatest virtue, without a doubt, is the quality of the performances of its actors.
		The director reveals how, outside, he is watching Buck as his friend tries to impersonate a hired escort and, within, he is fantasizing about the life of ease and wealth he hopes to be able to lead should Buck prevail in his efforts.
		Whatever its faults, Midnight Cowboy is, it must be admitted, an engaging, affecting film that is able to stir up in the viewer a sense of the seemingly insurmountable sorrows which so burden Buck and Rizzo's lives.

		Sure, with Midnight Cowboy film took a further turn into the sordid and personal in a way that hadn't been done perhaps since 1945's The Lost Weekend.
		At its heart, though, Midnight Cowboy is a buddy movie of rather unlikely characters falling into a rather forced friendship.
		Joe is hopelessly naive and a bit dumb ("I ain't a fer-real cowboy, but I am one hell of a stud!" he says), and instead of hustling he gets hustled himself, first by women and then by oily Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman).

	Midnight Cowboy
		The first, and only, X-rated film to win a best picture Academy Award, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy seems a lot less daring today (and has been reclassified as an R), but remains a fascinating time capsule of late-1960s sexual decadence in mainstream American cinema.
		Midnight Cowboy is an Oscar-winning movie that stays with you long after viewing.
		"Cowboy" Joe Buck (Voight) tries to make a living as a male prostitute, what he feels he does best.

		We know that his view of the world, and his hopes for the future, are totally fantastical and misguided; we know that only a naive fool would expect to walk into NYC and be able to sleep with rich women for cash, but we believe in him all the same.
		Midnight Cowboy is a more American version of the dream, which means that more sex and sleaze enter the dreams of small-town folk, yet the result is the same.
		Also, Cowboy`s story is damaged somewhat by odd cinematic tricks, meant to rebel against the dying classical filmmaking style.

	Midnight Cowboy Review by Tony (5 Stars) \| MatchFlick
		This is a film that stay with you for a long time and you have an even harder time getting the painful recollections of this film out of your head.
		Loneliness, being left behind, neglect has never been shown this in depth, this realistic, and this in your face like in "Midnight Cowboy." It's a heart wrenching film that is so unconventional, so unfamiliar, and so different, it cannot be ignored.
		If it's 1969, or 2006, "Midnight Cowboy" is a cinematic gem that will stick in your gut and head for days.

		A fool and his money are soon parted, of course, and Buck ("I'm not a real cowboy, but I'm one hell of a stud!") is broke and homeless quickly.
		In addition to choosing an ideal rhythm for the one-on-one sequences, he also creates uncomfortable jigsaw puzzles of images, rat-a-tatting troubled pasts and a troubling New York to an unsuspecting audience.
		The editing contributes in making Midnight Cowboy a maverick effort, much like the editing of another tide-turner from 1969…; Easy Rider.

		It's the only moment when Buck's shell seems to crack ; you see that he's still just a big kid who wants to be a cowboy, and Ratso's blunt remark really hits home.
