The Warriors (1979)


The Warriors are framed for killing a gang leader who was trying to unite all of the factions in the area. With other crews gunning for them, they must get back to their home turf of Coney Island... Alive. 
Despite some of the absurd costumes that the gangs use as uniforms, this film still manages to attach a tension and gritty atmosphere to its plot. It has influenced many samples, skits, songs and videos in Hiphop since and remains a cool image of cinematic urban youth in 1970s New York.
