Midnight Cowboy - discussion thread

At the beginning of the film I sort of thought Voight was too old for the part. Something didn't feel right to me when he was first walking the streets of New York. But as the movie progressed I was pleasantly surprised at how good he was. I never knew he was such a good actor. That ending on the bus was heart wrenching. Voight's face was incredible at conveying his emotions.

Loved the scene where he ditches his cowboy boots and jacket and then gets back on the bus. Just thinking about it is making me want to cry.

The thing is, I don't recall seeing him in anything where he wasn't awesome. He's right up there with Harvey Keitel for actors that aren't A-list but are among my favorites.

If you're gonna do this movie thing and want something that you haven't seen but that is hilarious, rent S.O.B.. Actually, it may be hard to find that film on DVD form, but I rent it every few years for some laughs. It's damned funny, and it's also William Holden's last film. The cast is pretty solid and Julie Andrews ripping her shirt open to show her breasts is pretty LOL.

Despite the awesomeness of this film I never see or hear it discussed anywhere, and am only aware of it because my stepfather turned me on to it.

Yeah, it was a very emotional ending. The movie was a great emotional work-out.

A beautiful woman with bad breath? Not eating for a week and then finding your soup has a hair in it? Winning a ten million dollar lottery when just a week ago it was worth twenty million?
