The Warriors (1979)
10/10
How is there no dancing?

Periodically we'll be watching something and my husband will point out that a scene or something was clearly inspired by The Warriors. We watched John Wick 4 the other night, and when he pointed out that they reused the radio scene from the Warriors that they already used in John Wick 2, I pointed out that I had in fact, not seen the Warriors. An oversight.

I really enjoyed it. It's a simple get from point A to point B kind of movie. Really nicely shot. A bit of humour, a bit of suspence, a bit of language we don't use anymore, and a whole lot of inexplicable matching costumes. Aparently it was a rebuke to West Side Story, but I would like to see a musical adaptation. It was hard to look menacing in the 70s.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this, and will watch it again. Probably often. Will likely read the book and play the video game too.

I may also begin every morning by stating my intentions for the day to those around me and then yelling: CAN YOU DIG IT?
