Midnight Cowboy 午夜牛郎

Dreaming of an easy life as a fantasy cowboy stud, cheerful Texas rube Joe Buck heads to New York City to be a gigolo, but he quickly discovers that hustling isn't what he thought it would be after he winds up paying his first trick. He gets swindled by gimpy tubercular grifter Rico "Ratso" Rizzo but, when Joe falls in the direst of straits, Ratso takes Joe into his condemned apartment so that they can help each other survive. Things start to look up when Joe finally lands his first legit female customer at a Warhol-esque party; Ratso's health, however, fails. Joe turns a final trick to get the money for one selfless goal: taking Ratso out of New York to his dream life in Miami.

生活清貧的牛仔喬從老家來(lái)到紐約討生活，他自認(rèn)為風(fēng)流倜儻，因此想在紐約當(dāng)個(gè)男妓混口飯吃。當(dāng)他第一天來(lái)到紐約時(shí)，就在大街上勾搭女人。不料，人地生疏的他生意不成反而虧了20塊錢(qián)。沮喪的喬遇到了專(zhuān)靠騙點(diǎn)小錢(qián)為生的里佐，里佐騙喬說(shuō)他認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)男妓集團(tuán)的首腦，但要收20元作為中介費(fèi)。但里佐只是把喬介紹給了一個(gè)同性戀的拉皮條，憤怒的喬隨后找到了里佐。里佐收留了無(wú)家可歸的喬，兩人漸漸成了無(wú)所不談的好朋友。

里佐向往邁阿密的生活，他邀請(qǐng)喬和他一起到邁阿密去闖世界。生活無(wú)著的兩人這晚來(lái)到一家地下酒吧去碰運(yùn)氣，當(dāng)喬終于搞到一單生意后，體力不支的里佐摔下了樓梯。奄奄一息的里佐此時(shí)最記掛的仍是邁阿密家鄉(xiāng)的陽(yáng)光，喬為了完成朋友的愿望，開(kāi)始鋌而走險(xiǎn)。

推薦理由：影片凸顯了牛仔來(lái)到大都市時(shí)眼花繚亂的主觀感受，被媒體稱(chēng)為“紐約街頭生活的風(fēng)俗畫(huà)”和“垃圾箱里的浪漫主義”。同時(shí)本片第一次在美國(guó)影壇上直言不諱地揭示了同性戀問(wèn)題。
