 Wanderers Forever December 24, 2003

Based on the Richard Price book of self contained vignettes of his own youth in the Bronx, the film is a series of set pieces of killer dialogue, (just too many quotable lines), ensemble acting and truly disturbing violence. Although the plot doesn't hang together perfectly and we are asked to suspend belief in a couple of the fight scenes (especially Perry's introduction and the amazing materialising Ducky Boys at the football game), you just have to forgive this film for its faults.
There is so much to enjoy from the bravado of youth that is Turkey, to the pantomime that is Terror. The soundtrack that kicks in with "Walk Like a Man" is so apt, and gets better and funnier.
It is a feel good movie in that although there are bad people out there, and this film doesn't shirk from showing them, the overwhelming message is that if you stick with your friends you won't go far wrong.
Absolutely essential post pub viewing , cos, hey, I ain't no hard guy.

A real taste of the sixties...well the end of the fifties...the beginning of a new age. There is so much life in this film, and Bronx characters that stay with you for a long time. Teenage gangs, Italian businessmen calling the shots...and who's gonna forget the Forham Baldies? Great clothes...superb dialogue and a superb soundtrack...who could ask for more...I've always loved this film...and it doesn't lose it over time...this came out about the same time as the Warriors...but there's much more to it...Great great great film!

This has to be one of the greatest movies ever to have graced our screens. It portrays life in The Bronx , NY, in 1963..It centres on a gang of italian/americans ""The Wanderers" and their on-going run-ins with the "Fordham Baldies".. The soundtrack is full of golden oldies like "Stand By Me, The Wanderers, Runaround Sue, etc".. This is a Classic...

This film is superb, it's the type of movie that you can watch over and over again.
Based in 1963 the film is about a teenage gang called The Wanderers, it's a film about friendship, love, betrayal. It's a Movie that once you've finished watching it, you will have to rewind it and watch it all over again. I recommend this film to anyone.

THE WANDERERS one of the best films ever made.
this film shows the hatred between new york gangs. the film is good from start to finish: turkey on the bridge and the wanderers and the blacks vs the ducky boys.
if you hav'nt seen this film i really sugest you do because you can't live a full life without seeing it. and lets face it the moden films can't compare to this.
BY THIS FILM ITS GREAT!!
