Midnight Cowboy

John Schesinger’s classic 1969 movie.  A naive young Texan Joe Buck (Voight) arrives in New York where he thinks the streets are paved with gold and expects to hustle his way to a fortune, but he discovers there are a lot of people who are better at the game than he is.

One day Joe himself is conned by Ratso (Hoffman) a down-and-out. After tracking him down the pair decide to join forces and go into business together.

As time goes on a strong friendship develops between the unlikely pair.

The film won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and featured the classic Nilsson song.
