Jesus. Why did I have to follow The Notebook with this? Midnight Cowboy is a breathtaking film with incredible lead performances from Jon Voight and especially Dustin Hoffman. John Schlesinger’s 1969 Best Picture winner is both a masterclass in directing and storytelling and a poignant critique of the American Dream.

Some may call the ending cheesy, but I found it incredibly inspiring and moving. This…
