I had to laugh at your "oh so true" last sentence Damianop! When you compare the masterpiece of Midnight Cowboy to the trash they're throwing out the door now, like Tom Cruise once said "there is no other." (Risky Business) No kidding!

My buddies and I identified with this movie so much we must have seen it 50 times without exaggeration! We even hit in the trunk of a car to get into the driving for free and we got caught

@@harryseretti3669 I can understand that Harry. It was the most well directed, well edited & well scored movie in decades! A pretty simple story but the ingredients above made it a block buster & huge favorite! P.S. We used to hide in a friend's trunk but never got caught. :)

So true!

Hoffmann y su gran personaje Ratso..un genio ,del vivir en la calle ..

Agreed. Since John "Wooden" Wayne won that year, you can say that any of the other nominees were deserving.

will never be a movie like it its fantastic

And your name is Buck too. That's great!

You got that right John! They don't! Cheap, low budget trash usually 3rd & 4th generation of the same thing. Says a lot for the audience they draw too. Sad man!

@@billcallahan9303 Couldn't agree more Bill, If Hollywood ever came up with an original idea these days, they wouldn't know what to do with it.

You got that right what an amazing film.

¡Bien dicho, Gerardo!

"yet, so many are" - Are you referring to machismo? I don't think of that here. 'Hud' perhaps (Paul Newman).

@@hazelwray4184 I'm referring to the fact that so many of us are deprived of love and friendship.

Well not sure we are deprived of love and friendship as much as limited in it, as a result of our own lack of love and friendship toward others.

Jacque is that you?!

Wow!

its the only one!

also the shot at 0:38 is just a promotional image background to give the sense they was stood infront of the building as seen at 3:40.

Yes, what a movie

thats something ive wondered about too, there was that waitress when he ditched his cowboy clothes,he could of got together with her and made a go of it in Florida, where he worked in construction and she worked at the cafe,although when Ratso passed things looked bleak for Joe, i think he would of found his niche in life

@@LetsGroove2Nite. That’s a great point, there was certainly a chemistry there, I think he would’ve scored better with women afterwards, without the big ego cowboy act, just been himself, certainly a lesson in there.

@@LetsGroove2Nite. Agree, joe would’ve made it on his own after, a lot wiser for sure.

hard to say but i think he was gonna be in great trouble without ratso to help him he looked very insecure on his own,dont think he was strong enough to go alone

@@cameronpickard7456 , I got the feeling that Joe Buck was a survivor. Yes, he was all alone without Ratso. However, he came into his own in New York City. Although his experiences in New York City were unpleasant, they toughened him up. I think that is one of the reasons why when the waitress in Florida asks Joe where he's from, he says New York without any hesitation. When he and Ratso got to Florida, Joe got rid of his Cowboy boots, hat and jacket. He was ready to start a new life. While his life would probably mot be easy in Florida, he would go there with a sense of reality versus the way he was when he first came to New York City.

4:10 finish.

@@hazelwray4184 Oh, thanks for catching that. 2:50, in Santa hat.
