I watched "The Warriors" recently on Crackle for free.

Flash to the past .......back to when I was a young man watching it in the movie theater with my buddies.
I also recall a heated discussion with my older sister about the film. She hated that I watched the film and enjoyed it, because she read a review by a man hating lesbian that didn't like it. I recall telling her over the phone the movie plot and what it meant to me, and that it wasn't all about violence as she had been told.
I suggested that she see it for herself before judging the film or anyone else -
a novel concept apparently.
Despite the film's juvenile comic book like basis it's aged pretty well - 1979.

Quote:
The Warriors is a 1979 American action thriller film directed by Walter Hill and based on Sol Yurick's 1965 novel of the same name. This novel was, in turn, based on Xenophon's Anabasis. The story centers on a New York City gang who must make an urban journey of 30 miles (48 km), from the north end of The Bronx to their home turf in southern Brooklyn, after they are framed for the murder of a respected gang leader. It was released in the United States on February 9, 1979.
After reports of vandalism and violence, Paramount temporarily halted their advertising campaign and released theatre owners from their obligation to show the film. Despite its initially negative reception, The Warriors has since become a cult film, and it has spawned multiple spinoffs, including video games and a comic book series.

Might be one of the best "B-Movies" ever made.
