A double feature! Stream the 1970 Oscar-winning film Midnight Cowboy and the new doc about it

When Joe Buck (Jon Voight), a good-looking, naïvely 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 (Dustin Hoffman), a 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. This 1969 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay was directed by the incomparable John Schlesinger.
