Midnight Cowboy

4/4 One of the most unique films ever made. The Soundtrack is masterfully used throughout the film. It stands the test of time.

Honestly, the movie wasn't very good. Basically, the only reason I gave it a positive score, is because Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman did a great job acting in an otherwise boring plot. Also, Hoffman's classic adlibbed line "I'm walkin' here!" And staying in character was phenomenal. Other than that though, it was kinda boring.

Stays with you after watching. A very strong character-driven film. Powerful and tender at the same time. Ultimately, the vulnerability of the main characters pulls you in. After watching it stayed with me, the music too. I keep thinking about the situation the characters were in, the buildings they visit, many demolished shortly after filming. The ending is both sad and powerful, while also making you feel the value of people. I think this could be one of my favourite film. It stays with me.

Immoral people have a bad time in New York to a John Barry Score.

Grounded by commanding performances from Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, Midnight Cowboy is a searing deconstruction of the masculine image and human commerce.

Stranger than what I expected, but definitely still worth watching in 2025

Great Movie, the difficulties of trying to accomplish your dream in the big city especially when your best friend is sick. Very emotional/dramatic film that should definitely be on your notch.

Midnight Cowboy was gratuitous sleaze 55 years ago, and what's even more depressing is that it was a harbinger of the sleaze to come in the ensuing decades.

"Midnight Cowboy" doesn't fall into my favorite Best Picture winners, but this is a good movie that really does leave a profound impact. It can be difficult to watch but it is full of really unique editing choices as well as featuring two memorable performances. I found myself a bit unsure of where it was going at first, but by the end, I really felt the emotional weight of the story. I also think this is a movie that embodies the time it came out and it really feels like a time capsule in that way. It is a bold film for its time and its impact is still felt today. Overall, it is a unique and well-made film that is maybe one of the bleakest and unglamorous depictions of New York City that kept me engaged and often exhausted, similar to the characters it portrays, and I think it is a film I admire from a filmmaking perspective.

Not incredibly strong storytelling. The movie follows a naiive traveller and his newfound mate trying to get ahead in the big apple. The ending was quite predictable. But the characters were wonderfully compelling and I just wanted to keep watching them - the doe eyed tough guy and his hustler sidekick. I could see where a certain muppet character got his cues from.
