Strip away everything else and it's the performances that make Midnight Cowboy what it is.

Even with every foot of grim realism and some humor, Midnight Cowboy is rather a sad picture.

Classic Oscar winner has explicit material, mature themes.

The attempt to wring tender laughter from such a topic strikes me as being itself a kind of commercialized vice.

We can identify with them without false sentimentality and it is impossible not to do so.

Some of the attitudes in Midnight Cowboy -- especially toward women -- don't wear the years well, but the performances by Hoffman and Jon Voight remain electric.

Midnight Cowboy's peep-show vision of Manhattan lowlife may no longer be shocking, but what is shocking, in 1994, is to see a major studio film linger this lovingly on characters who have nothing to offer the audience but their own lost souls.

"Midnight Cowboy" is an exquisite time capsule. The film is filled with dark social and political commentary. Only through his problematic friendship with Ratzo can Buck reclaim his humanity.

Midnight Cowboy moves beyond realism into an archetypal tale of the Big City destroying dreamers. Joe and Ratso, like Of Mice and Men's George and Lenny, are quintessential failed, lower-class, buddy-dreamers.
