Midnight Cowboy (1969)

Of all the films I've watched, so far Midnight Cowboy has had the most profound affect on me. It - non literally - summed up what I was feeling at the time. The characters' sense of shared necessity toward each other, even if it wasn't practical or at all exciting , they knew they would be alone if they didn't have the other. What's worse? Spending time with a loser like yourself, or spending time alone? 

Their isolation in the big city, their mutual friendship, their optimism through incredibly tough circumstances, it all resonates a harmony within me. I like this movie, a lot.
