...Even Valenti's critics would acknowledge the ratings system worked well for a while. X, belying its suggestion of toxicity, simply meant films for adults only. Most, like Medium Cool, were serious, intense, mature social studies; and one, Midnight Cowboy, won the Oscar for the best picture of 1969. But two things changed. The MPAA had copyrighted its other classification, but not the X, which was soon appropriated by the early-'70s wave of porno features.
