Disc 1. The Film:
Daring, Provocative, Shocking, Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its original release, "Midnight Cowboy is still heartbreaking - and timeless" (The New York Observer). This Academy Award Winner for Best Picture, Best Director and adapted Screenplay also boasts Oscar-Nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, neither of whom have "Ever been better on screen than they are here" (Chicago Tribune)!
When Joe Buck (Voight), a good-looking, naively charming Texas "cowboy" makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo (Hoffman), a scrounging, sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond - one that transcends their broken dreams and get-rich-quick schemes and makes Midnight Cowboy "that rarest of things: [a film] every bit as moving now as it was when it was [first] released" (Premiere Magazine)..
Disc 2. Extras:
2 Documentaries, Short: Celebrating Schilesinger, Original Theatrical Trailer, Photo galleries
