Today's film was one of my all time favorites.

The Warriors (1979)

This is the director's cut from the DVD. There was a lot done to the film by the studios that Walter Hill the director hated. Now he has what he wants.

I love this film for many obvious reasons. It is a bad guys being good film. It is a moral tale. The guys mostly wear only vests and they are hunks. To be honest.

It all fits together. Nicely.

I am surprised how well the film has lasted down the years. I don't suppose that it is in anyone's all time favorite list except mine but that is OK with me.

I still thrill at the various challenges and the wonderful ending.

Oh.

The film is based on the ancient greek tale Anabasis

"So what" you say? Me too. But it does give some classical weight to the whole enterprise.
