Reply to comment by paul-d9 in TIL the 1979 cult classic The Warriors was based on the ancient story of the Anabasis, wherein Xenophon and his group of Greek mercenaries attempt to escape from Persia after the death of Cyrus. by kevlarbuns

I love the setting. Love the premise. Love the gang styles. There are some deep, deep flaws, but I found way more to love than hate.

I like my movies like I like my music, without all the rough edges sanded off.

I'm not the hugest fan of their music but I love them because Dave Grohl is a solid human being and he deserves to prosper.

Grohl is rad. The albums are just very very clean.

I watched this film last year for the first time! Completely agree with the sentiment here, honestly it had a quality about it that was just not present in so much I'd seen recently. Unlike anything I'd seen released in the last 10+ years.
