The Warriors

Has anyone here ever seen The Warrriors, a movie from 1979? I'm just asking because I happened to see it on Netflix last night. It's one of my favorite movies, second to Star Wars.

I saw it first on late night TV in the early 80s, and I've loved it ever since.

I was born in '79 but saw it a couple of years ago for the first time and loved it. I even liked the beat'em up game based on the movie.

I saw it in the theater in 1979. I was drawn to it because I was intrigued by the concept. It was one of the first films to not portray gangs as a "social problem." I was living in New York at the time so the setting had special relevance to me.

I went to see it with our fellow forum member Shelly Mars. The ending scenes were filmed in Coney Island not too far from where she lives. We were able to walk around the location on our way home from the theater. In fact the theater we saw the movie in can be glimpsed briefly in one shot.

I haven't seen The Warriors since that day but I still remember parts of it vividly. That really says something, because I tend to forget my impressions of most movies pretty quickly.

One of the best movies ever. Period. Won't ever get sick of watching it. Any time I know someone who hasn't seen it, I make them watch it haha.
I had to show my girlfriend the movie the other day because it was a crime against humanity that she hadn't yet.

Also the game is pretty fun too, one of rockstars most underrated games.

I've watched it and own it on DVD. Good movie. Need to break the disc out and watch it again some day.
