1975 Italy pressing

An ITALIAN pressing of the soundtrack to Midnight Cowboy?
For two dollars?!?!
Yes, please.

Famous for the Harry Nilsson cover of “Everybody’s Talkin’”, which everybody thinks is his song, but was actually written by the great Fred Neil.

Midnight Cowboy was another one of those movies that was on TV a lot when I was a kid, albeit in heavily edited and butchered form.
Nonetheless, the music will forever live rent-free in my head forever, due to the amount of Saturday and Sunday afternoon viewings of the film that I had as a kid.

#Movies

I just watched #Anora, the movie that won the #Oscar for #BestPicture for 2024 earlier this year, again for the 1st time since I saw it at the theater & I'm still wondering why it won the award. 🤔

The only "acting" which causes you to consider & empathize with the emotions & feelings of Anora happens only at the very end.

Otherwise, it's mostly just a lot of nudity, meaningless sex acts, chaos & swearing & yelling in both English & Russian.🙄

I remember when they made a huge deal about #MidnightCowboy, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1969, because it was the 1st & only X-rated movie to ever win the award.

Anora is only an R-rated movie & Midnight Cowboy is tame in comparison.

My how times have changed. 🤷

I'd only rate Anora a 6 out of 10.

Next up #BlackBag (2025)

A little preview for tomorrow's show!

I've been reading Glenn Frankel's book, Shooting Midnight Cowboy over the past week.

It's a fascinating time-capsule about the changing sexual attitudes and mores of the time.

I first saw the movie as a kid when it aired on TV (it was X-rated in the theaters at one time). I had no clue about the homo-erotic undertones of the movie. I just remember it making me cry.

My sibs and I loved the soundtrack (much to the annoyance of my better-halves).
