After seeing "Idaho," I'm eager to revist the hustler movie to end all hustler movies, one that is at least visually referenced in "Idaho" and "Brokeback Mountain." Has anyone else seen "Midnight Cowboy" from 1969 (the only X-rated movie to ever win an Oscar)? I saw it a couple of times in college, but not since. If you've seen it recently, how do you think it's holding up?

I never saw it. I'd like to now, though, especially after seeing these newer films.
What did you think of "Midnight Cowboy"? Do you think it merited an "X," or did it get that because of the same-sex sex?
Well, it was filmed in 1969, and it shows boobs and butts, which, I read, is what got it the X rating, although I'm sure having gay "perverts" in the film didn't help either. They later revised the rating.
I thought the movie was fantastic, but I haven't seen it in ages. What did you think?
I haven't seen it!
I haven't seen it either.
