6. Midnight Cowboy
In the low budget Best Picture winner Midnight Cowboy, Dustin Hoffman has cause to drop a line that has since been repeated in dozens of different films. As he and his pal Joe Buck walk across a crowded Manhattan street, Hoffman’s Ratso is nearly hit by a New York cab. In fact, that was a real cabbie, and Hoffman’s reaction was legit. See, Midnight Cowboy was so low budget that several of its scenes were shot with cameras hidden on real, uncontrolled Manhattan streets.
