44 years ago today, The Warriors opened. I've been having a grand time modelling a number of the movie gangs for gaming with Mean Streets. What's your favourite Street Gang movie? Some nominations to get started: 1990 : The Bronx Warriors (1982) Gangs of New York (2002) Switchblade Sisters (1975) The Wanderers (1979) The Warriors (1979) West Side Story (1961) |

Does the "Godfather" count? If yes, that. |

Godfather does not count, mobsters and bikers aren't street gangs. |

The Warriors says a friend that was a NYC Cop. |

Ok, Gangs of New York because of Daniel Day-Lewis performance. |
Gear Pilot | 09 Feb 2023 4:09 p.m. PST |
The Outsiders (1983) is the only one I recall watching. |

None of them. I am just not into that genre. I've considered watching The Warriors, but only because I appreciate Xenophon. But I'd rather watch a movie about the real Anabasis. |

Big Trouble in Little China? |

Rusty market beat me to it. So in that case I choose Little Rascals. They were stone cold. |

Lords of Flatbush, Colors, Westside Story, and The Warriors. |

Never got into Gangs of New York. Too long and not much action. But Warriors is by far the best gang movie. Did enjoy Streets of fire. |

Escape from New York. Nobody's badder than Kurt Russel's Snake Pliskin! |
emckinney | 10 Feb 2023 12:57 a.m. PST |
The Warriors. Because it's both utterly absurd and awesome. |

Another "Warriors" fan but "GONY" and "Streets of Fire" are very close seconds! |

Hmmm… does Escape from New York count? How about The Omega Man? ("The Family" is very like a street gang in some respects.) 1990 The Flash TV show pilot? (Features a biker gang.) If I'm gonna watch a movie with gangs in it, they're gonna get their butts kicked to Kingdom Come. Otherwise, fahgedaboudit. |
miniMo ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 10 Feb 2023 2:30 p.m. PST |
Parzival, no those are not street gangs, and biker gangs are their own genre. |

DOM: Dread Also, Psychomania – I think it counts because the bikers are zombies |
Martin Rapier | 11 Feb 2023 12:43 a.m. PST |
Top Cat. The indisputable leader of the gang. Otherwise, West Side Story. |

Gangs of New York A Clockwork Orange West Side Story The Warriors Not very original, but I do like those movies. |
