I completely get it! Yes, I do agree with you, Mr. Hill. When I was a teenager, there were certain movies considered cool—The Wanderers, Scum, Quadrophenia, and The Warriors—and surprisingly, even now that I’m older, I still think they're fantastic films to appreciate and enjoy. I recently watched The Warriors again, probably for the hundredth time, and it continues to entertain me just as much as it did when I first saw it. Okay, so it shows its age, and I notice more of what might be considered cheesy elements than I did before, but at the same time, I recognize a visually well-crafted movie that actually explores the lives and mentalities of young gang members in an interesting way. The story is straightforward: all the gangs in New York City are summoned to a meeting where they’re supposed to unite and take control of the city. The leader of the group, known as The Riffs, is a man named Cyrus who's pushing for this unity. He gets shot and killed during the gathering, and The Warriors are wrongly accused of his murder. They then have to fight their way back to Coney Island with every gang in the city trying to stop them, while also evading the police. This journey works really well because we’re introduced to a bunch of different gangs attempting to take down The Warriors; the fights are nicely done, the costumes are great, and some of the lines have become like sayings for young people. Some critics at the time said the film romanticized gang life, but I don't see how that could be argued—if anything, when you look closely at the main characters, there’s a sense of sadness running through the story. Regardless, the movie succeeds in making you root for The Warriors to safely return home to Coney Island, which leads to a powerful and exciting ending. 8/10
