quadrophenia or the warriors?

Fri Nov 06, 2020 9:58 am

two cult films from 1979....both have great music soundtracks...which is the better film? which do you prefer?

my choice is the warriors, my only gripe is it's too short at only 92 minutes...quadrophenia seems dated

Both as good as each other,,, one British and one American. Didn’t the film “Scum” get released in 79 also? Another cult film, imho.

The Warriors hands down, nowt wrong with Quadrophenia but The Warriors just has more of everything I want from that sort of film. Cracking soundtracks on both though.

Both good films, but The Wanderers, which came out around the same time, was better than both I think, it had the gang stuff, lots of humour, and a great soundtrack.

Quadrophenia for me, just love The Who so that's all I can say.

The Wanderers

Don't F uck with the Wongs

The Fordham Baldies are so mad they shave their hair so it don't get in their eyes when they are fighting

Both were good but 'Quadrophenia' edges it for me...

Ironic, as I had long hair and was into motorbikes at that age and disliked scooters (still do)

Two other great film from that era were 'Mad Max' and 'Monty Python's The Life of Brian' :D

Tough one, both great movies. Actually watched Warriors a couple of weeks ago but haven't seen Quadrophenia for a long time probably because it doesn't travel well to any other country and is never shown.

Always enjoyed both but I have to go with Warriors.

This^^
Read the warriors book and the film was nothing like it, enjoyable film but basically a latter day Western. Must confess I've only seen clips of Quadrophina

Both good films, but the Wanderers beats them both. Amazing film from start to finish
