The Warriors Ratings & Reviews
- tellumSeptember 6, 2025A 70s teen movie with the absurdist premise of everyone being involved with gangs based gimmicks like pro wrestling.
- steveabb7September 3, 2025It's amazing watching this movie years later as an adult in his 50s verse watching it as a 13 year old boy. I love the old subway scenes and street scenes in the Bronx. The creative gang outfits. I think the Wanderers is the better of the 2 films made in 1979. Although the Warriors was a contemporary film for its time. Can you dig it?
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025It seems funny, but I think seeing "Escape From New York" made me appreciate "The Warriors." I remember being very unimpressed with this film after the build-up of its advertising. But. I am now watching it as a cartoon and less as a drama/action. I found the movie much more fun to watch this time.
- stevetheaxeJune 6, 2025You can't be a boy growing up in the 80s and not love this movie. What a time to be alive.
- LynneDecember 22, 2024The best movie off all-time.
