    As a gay man who say this in the 70s, I’ve never gotten over the homophobic violence of the film. Never understood the hype.
  • Well done American film!

    I preach this movie to everyone and anyone. It's gripping, fast paced but not rushed, and surprisingly emotional. An amazing story with superior acting. Hoffman and Voight are magnetic. Please watch this.
  • Best movie and soundtrack of all time!

    This is one of my favorite movies. I never get tired of seeing it. But I don't want to rent it; I want to buy it, iTunes.

    Just like David & Jonathan, we will never know Ratso & Joe's true relationship; but to fret about that, you miss out on an intimate relationship between two men. This is the story of two losers who find the acceptance they crave. When I first saw this movie it was "R" rated, then somebody suspected it had a gay theme and the rating went to "X". Boy did that help sales!!! Screw the Bible Belt conservatives; censorship is as moral as slavery.

    don't get me wrong i love the duke but dustin hoffman deserved this oscar. Ratso Rizzo is a sleazy, sickly and pathetic derelict (bum) con man who you in the start of the film you like out of pity. Then as you watch the rest of the film you realize that Rizzo is a human being and he just wants to be treated as one and no one did until he meets Joe Buck. This is not a gay relationship but a frienship of two people who have no where to go and no one to turn to. At the end is when you regret ever disliking Rizzo and you just cry because of it. Im not saying the end though, you'll have to find this out for yourself. See Midnight Cowboy and be ready to be amazed by this timeless classic.

    One of the greatest films of all-time, this is one of those movies that once you see it, you absolutely never forget it. Voight is fantastic, and Hoffman gives the performance of his career. Check out the awesome new HD trailer and rent this amazing movie!
