Midnight Cowboy (1969). There is no really great story per say here, but instead a realistc snapshop of a couple of schmucks trying to get by in the squalid New York of the 60s. The acting was superb, with Voight and Hoffman complementing each other perfectly. This is a tale of a codependent friendship born of naivete and deceit. The direction was awesome, with appropriate uses of flashback and fantasies to help establish the inner character of each of our antiheroes. Definitely not a feel good flick, this is one of the best movies made in its time, if not one of the best ever made. Ashe.
