4/7/1970

One of the most fantastic social dramas ever made in Hollywood actually won best picture despite having an X rating. The only one to do so.
Why the harsh evaluation?
It suggests Jon Voight gets a blow job.

Midnight Cowboy wins the Oscar for Best Picture

"Midnight Cowboy is a 1969 American drama film based on the 1965 novel of the same name by James Leo Herlihy. It was written by Waldo Salt, directed by John Schlesinger, and stars Dustin Hoffman and newcomer Jon Voight in the title role."

If you haven't seen this flick I'd heartedly encourage you to do so. The reason why it was so lauded is that it exposed the viciousness of contemporary society.
Plus extraordinary acting by Voight and Pacino.
