Rating:  - something's missing
I loved Midnight Cowboy, however this version is shortened from what I remember. Some scenes shortened or left out.
Rating:  - Still...
...my favorite movie ever made. And I've always felt that things were going to improve for Joe in Florida (Ratso's character had served his purpose) - I get that from his reaction to the girl who smiles and is kind to him at that last bus stop.....he is a different person, now.
Rating: - acting tour de force!
MIDNIGHT COWBOY will always be a classic due to the superb acting by Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. Top notch performances also by Sylvia Miles, Brenda Vaccaro, Barnard Hughes and splendid direction by John Schlesinger and a legendary song 'Everybodys Talkin' by Harry Nilsson. Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. This film released in 1969 brings two 'losers' together in the big city and their unlikely relationship culminates in one of the most impressionable final film scenes of all-time. A little dated as far as the outrageous party scenes but still a powerful, emotional film.
Rating:  - I Don't Get It
I didn't get this at all!! The flashbacks were totally confusing Dustin Hoffman talking like a cartoon character while limping through the city was irritating and Jon Voight was boring. I know this is supposed to be one the best movies ever made, but I didn't like it at all.
Rating: - A MASTERPICE
It's one of the films that made the late sixties and seventies the second golden age of film making. When you're talking about human nature nothing can be outdated. The script is superb and the director and cast do it full justice. If your a film student or film buff you have, no doubt, seen this or know about it.
If you've never heard of it I suggest you move on.
