Customer Reviews of Midnight Cowboy (Two Disc Collector's Edition)
Classic time capsule This is a terrific movie. <
> <
>And a terrific time capsule, perfectly capturing the urban flavor that existed on the cusp of the 60s & 70s... and the wonderful cinematic style of the era we seemed to lose long ago: the score, those perspective shots, the montage moments (the radio orange juice commercial is SOOO evocative of the period!) <

>And if anybody ever wanted to see where Angelina Jolie got her looks.....!
AN INTEGRAL PART OF MY FORMATIVE YEARS
Thank goodness for the smattering of eleven-year-olds like the young man below. He reminds me of me. In 1969 I was a little older than he (I was thirteen), and had to sneak into the movie theater to see MIDNIGHT COWBOY, not because I didn't have the money but because the old battleaxe in the glass booth wouldn't sell me a ticket ("Ya gotta be eighteen!" she bleated). Anyway, I saw it, first of many times, and it turned me into neither a consumptive street hustler nor a male whore. I have had a 37-year love affair with this film, one of the most poignant, heartfelt and endearing stories of male bonding ever. Others (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO) come close, but none can touch MIDNIGHT COWBOY in its depiction of friendship out of deep emotional need. I am especially glad to see the release (finally) of a Special Edition with extras including:

Clearly, A Film For A Whole New Generation
I LOVE that an 11 year old kid is on here writing a review of "Midnight Cowboy," and also recommending "Easy Rider" and "Raging Bull." How cool is that? You go, man. And you're absolutely right: This is a seminal and groundbreaking drama of the late 60's, and no student of the cinema should miss it. One of Hoffman's landmark performances, and Voight was never better.

>Here's to "Midnight Cowboy," and here's to Ian Colvin. As soon as your first film is finished, you let me know, pal. I wanna see it! This is what film is all about. Sometimes the world's alright.
