Midnight Cowboy has so much going for it. From its original X rated rating, gay / buddy film subtext to Dustin Hoffman's epic coughing fits which make you want to mute the sound. It's beautifully seedy in its tone & visuals much like the NYC of its time where it was shot.

My first peek into the Factory Art Party scene in this film set the bar high (pun intended) for me. I guess I was born too late.

My advice for watching this. Take a Sunday morning wake & bake, skip the shower and long for a sleazier albeit simpler time as you watch this for the first or thirtieth time.
