Everybody's Talkin' at me, I can't hear a word they're saying

One of the best films of the 60's and one of the kings of X rated films (among the few which include Valley of the Dolls, Clockwork Orange, and the only one to keep the title, Last Tango in Paris) is essentially a old fashioned type of movie, sorta like American Pie was (in a way). The film stars a young Jon Voight as a guy from the pig farms of Texas who moves to New York and becomes a man-whore. While in town, he meets the memorable Ratzo Rizzo played even more memorably by Dustin Hoffman. They then form a good yet sad friendship. Stylishly compelling, with two fine performances at it's core, and even thought the X rated form might scare away some people, most sex scenes go fast with quick yet excellent editing. A very well made film experience, however never watch this film on TV, and that goes for most films that have some explicit stuff. A+
