55th ANNIVERSARY! Notoriously awarded an 'X' rating by the MPAA (and an R18+ by Australian censors), John Schlesinger's MIDNIGHT COWBOY was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won three, for Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay.

Jon Voight stars as the naive Joe Buck, who moves from Texas to New York to try his hand at hustling. Finding that a life of turning tricks is vastly more dificult than he imagined, outcast Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) takes Joe under his wing to help the greenhorn make his way in the big city.

Featuring an iconic soundtrack by Harry Nilsson and John Barry, MIDNIGHT COWBOY was a groundbreaking drama addressing the changing attitudes of the United States in the late 1960s, capturing that psychedelic cultural moment like few other films of that same era.
