The Warriors (poll)
 
Simple poll. I'm sure discussion will follow.

Never heard. I have seen the GS Warriors though, and they plain sucked!

I liked it, but still think it's somewhat overrated for a cult classic.

Lynne appeared in many movies from Bicentennial Man to Shaft to Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego? . She sadly passed away on March 12th 2003. Her last appearance was as Judge Brenda Daniels in Anger Management (2003).

The video game was also pretty sweet.

At the time it came out, and I was a kid, it was simply awesome. It definitely feels slow compared to today's action movies, but it holds up pretty well, still.

The Orphans, lol

how could baseball-costumed ghoul gangs not be awesome? I mean, come on. PLUS rollerskating badasses AND lesbo psycho bitches packing heat?

What more could anyone want from a movie?

I saw it about 10 times at the drive-in when it first came out. By the 3rd time, we'd click our beer bottles along with Luther....."Warriors..come out and plaaaa-aaayy".

We didn't see it 10 times because we liked it so much, it's just that it played twice a night at the drive-in, and that was about the only place we could drink without looking over our shoulders all night.

Here's twenty dollars to get some beers in Val Verde.

It'll give us all a little more time with your daughter.

Actually it's the Glenn Frey solo version of the song, which is a lot better than the orig.

/nit

Also I used to think It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine) riffed on the part where the Baseball Furies were chasing some of the Warriors through the park. ("... and the Furies breathing down... your... neck...). But now I think it's some mythology crap. Lame. Stipe dropped a lot in my eyes.

Joe Walsh sings "In The City".

Re: The Warriors (poll)
 
Oh yeah. Duh. That. I think Glenn Frey Smuggler's Blues and the Miami Vice connection was bleeding into my drug-addled memory (yes I know that was never an Eagles song).

But it is Walsh's solo version. Which for a long time I believe only appeared on the Warriors soundtrack, although I would guess it's made it's way to some compilations by now.

Awesome.

Is this part of a bet with beetz or something?

Good book too. Richard Price FTW, especially his oldest stuff. Went from being an exceptional writer and one of the best dialogue men in written fiction to easily one of the best dialogue men in movies.

Yup. A Walter Hill special. Purest fun it's impossible not to love without sucking, and plenty of tension. Helluva ride.

All,

This movie was on at a bar last night. I was there with two friends, about 25 and 35 years old. Neither one of them knew what the movie was!

I couldn't believe neither one of them had seen one of the awesomest movies ever.

All,

Those 4% voting bad, please speak up. Thanks.
