Winner of the Academy Award'" for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, Midnight Cowboy also boasts Oscar* nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight and Sylvia Miles. Dustin Hoffman gives an unforgettable performance as Ratso Rizzo, a scrounging, sleazy small-time con man with big dreams. Jon Voight is magnificent as Joe Buck, the good-looking, naively charming Texan 'cowboy' who is convinced that he is the salvation of many lonely, love starved New York women. These two characters are drawn together in this powerful and compassionate film.
Julia Roberts stars in this drama based on the bestselling memoir
by Elizabeth Gilbert. 30-something Liz (Roberts) has arrived at a
crossroads in life. With a career, a home and a husband, she is in
possession of everything the modern woman dreams of. But after
repeatedly failing to get pregnant, Liz starts to question her
marriage and her purpose in life, and after a painful divorce she
takes off on a year-long solo trip around the world on a quest for
self-discovery. Along the way she spends four months discovering
the joys of food in Italy and four months on the spiritual path in
India before finally and unexpectedly finding true love in Bali.

dishwasher Joe Buck (Voight) dreams of making it big in New York.
Convinced that he can make his fortune providing sexual favours for

have any money to speak of, and borrows some of his. At this point,
sleazy street-hustler Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo (Hoffman) enters the

can arrange is with a gay Christian (John McGiver), but Joe and
Ratso soon become close friends, fantasizsng to each other about
the millions they are going to make. The film won Oscars for Best
Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, while both
