Film Review: Midnight Cowboy

quietchris and I watched Midnight Cowboy (IMDB, Wikpedia) staring stars Dustin Hoffman, and newcomer Jon Voight!
Young Jon Voight is so different than Older Jon Voight! I hardly recognized him.
So, a quick plot summary: in the 60's, Texan thinks New York City rich women want cowboy meat. He moves to NYC to try to be a hustler. Nobody told him the real money to be made is with NYC men. Hot man-on-man action, w00t!
The film is the only X-rated film to win an Academy Award. It was released in 1969, re-released in 1971 (this time it got an R-rating), and then again for its 25th anniversary.
Trivia:
Highly recommended.

Trivia:
- This is the movie where "Hey! I'm walkin' here!" comes from
- The Muppet Rizzo the Rat is named after Dustin Hoffman's charactor "Rizzo"
Highly recommended.
