Nick Love recommended Midnight Cowboy (1969) in Movies (curated)

 
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
1969 | Classics, Drama

"What touched me about that was the friendship. In a very weird sort of way there are some similarities between my films — probably pretty-much The Firm — and Midnight Cowboy, only inasmuch as it’s a hard world but soft characters. There’s something about that friendship with two people that transcends where the film’s set. I have friendships where you’re like two old women, nagging away at each other, and you kind of hate each other in a lot of ways but you’re inextricably embroiled with one another. That’s what true friendship is, you know. There’s such a tragedy about Midnight Cowboy as well and there’s such an amazing smell of New York in the 70s. It’s one of the few films where it transports you there and you can feel the environment."

A great mix of conflict, friendship and love in very trying times. This book had me both laughing and sobbing. Mostly sobbing. A beautifully written novel set in one of humanity's darkest hours. (0 more)

"Take the longer route the next time you get the hankering to watch the ‘72 Coppola classic; it is every bit as rewarding. The central and abiding lesson in the novel is about friendship. It’ll stick with you."

The film has enough heart that this friendship seems believable, and the characters are likeable enough that you want to see them keep playing their games.

Yeah, I'm obsessed with this manga. The friendship, the budding romances, the funny scenes. It has everything I like in a story.

It's probably just going to make me wait until #13 before Kou and Futaba get together lol.

A kid's book, it's the story of the friendship between two kids and how it effects one of them. Very powerful.
