classickay Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What was TCM thinking? I saw the last 3/4 of "The Warriors". It has to be one of the top 5 worst movies I've ever seen. It's total crap. Not only was most of the acting really bad, but there were so many cliches in the movie it was funny. In the bathroom fight scene I was able to predict what was going to be smashed next. Just because a director has a couple movies that were popular doesn't mean everything he ever did is wonderful or a classic movie. Aliens would have been a better choice. Please, spare us from anymore of these bad movies. Those in charge of programing can rest assured, I feel ashamed for you. Link to post Share on other sites
joefilmone Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 " The Warriors" has a strong cult following which is probably why TCM ran it. Walter Hill directed the superior " Southern Confort" Link to post Share on other sites
webestang Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I saw this film at a midnight showing one time....I liked it....it has great use of color and the soundtrack is stunning. BTW....Entertainment Weekly named The Warriors the 16th greatest cult film on their "Top 50 Greatest Cult Films" list. Link to post Share on other sites
kimpunkrock Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The Warriors is a TCM Underground movie. It is one of the biggest cult films in the country. I agree that it is not that great of a movie, but it is huge in the underground punk and hardcore music scene. I should like the movie, since I am a punker, but it really is not all that. It only is a legendary punk rock film. Link to post Share on other sites
Arkadin Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 As for what TCM was thinking, I'm guessing that they thought it was a film that Underground fans would enjoy--and they're right! http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=120471&tstart=0 Link to post Share on other sites
