Why 1969's Best Picture Winner 'Midnight Cowboy' Was So Controversial
Even if you haven't seen John Schlesinger's Oscar-winning Midnight Cowboy, you have heard some of its dialogue. In fact, one of Midnight Cowboy's lines is so famous that many people don't realize it originally came from a movie at all. "I'm walkin' here!" ad libbed by Dustin Hoffman has become a New York stereotype and a household phrase at large. Despite the reach of the iconic quote, Midnight Cowboy itself does not necessarily have the same reputation. The film may have won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1969, but it arguably has not emerged as a mainstream classic in the years since.
