Midnight Cowby is probably my favorite movie of all time.
I don't know why, but when I first saw it as a kid *edited on television* I just latched onto it.
My mother was always taking me to see weird and controversial films like Tommy, Andy Warhol's Frankenstein every Woody Allen flick that came out.
My older brother and sister would be in school and we'd hit a matinee, or she'd load us all up in the station wagon and we'd go to the drive in.
Anyway I digress. Movies have been in my blood for a very long time, my father actually introduced me to this film and every time I got a chance to see it I swear to God, I would hope that when in the end on the bus he tried to wake up Rizzo the little bastard would wake up.
Quiet is correct about the movie having an X rating. However this was during a time when the X was nothing more than somethign similar to an NC-17 until the Adult Movie Industry co-opted it and started to use it for their films.
Interesting thing was one year in LA they played it unedited and uncut one late night, they discussed the history of the movie and it's x-rating and how society has changed over the years.
This movie now gets an R rating.
