cinematheque waterloo - tonight

Midnight Cowboy is playing tonight at The Original Princess... 7pm.

It won Best Picture in 1969....

Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight... hello!

"Voight is naïve Texan Joe Buck, who travels to New York in hopes of hitting it big as a gigolo. Hoffman plays Enrico “Ratso” Rizzo, a small-time con artist who befriends Joe. They form an unlikely pair, and help each other to survive in the often cruel metropolis. The film abounds with memorable scenes and indelible small parts for the likes of Sylvia Miles, Barnard Hughes, and members of Andy Warhol’s Factory troupe. Harry Nilsson’s performance of “Everybody’s Talkin’” opens the film, one of the most perfect pairings of song and movie, and after seeing this film, what visitor to the Big Apple has not wanted to yell “I’m walkin’ here!!!” to a rude cabdriver?"
