If you think Ratso Rizzo is larger than life then y'aint never bin to Noo Yawk(!)Dated; well 1969 was a helluva long time ago and I would have to agree with you there. Bob Dylan was meant to do the theme tune but it ended up being done by Harry Nilsson (now deceased); "Everybody's Talking"
"Cowboy" broke a lot of new ground in its day and there are quite a few films since that have paid it homage in one way or another
EG; in "Forrest Gump" when he's pushing his buddy in a wheelchair across a NY street he slaps the cabs hood and shouts "I'm walking here, I'm walking here" which is one of Ratsos lines in Cowboy...
One scene that always gets me is where Ratso picks a guys pocket, strikes a match on the roof of the cab then flips the bird as it drives away; that defines Ratso's character as much as anything else in the film without saying a word
I found the end of the film uplifting where Voights character ditches his cowboy clothes in the trash it's like he's going to get a new startGrins
