The Real Deal - The Warriors (1979)

 

"I don’t know with absolute certainty if The Warriors is a kids movie, but it’s a movie about kids that I saw as a kid myself. So let’s start there.

It’s a survive-the-night feature—a premise much scarier and realer to me as a child than as an adult. As a kid, I was afraid of the dark and by extension, the night. ... The Warriors packs a slightly different punch as an adult. First of all, it’s silly. Really silly. Maybe even a little campy. ..."
