10 Moments From "The Warriors" That Prove It Was The Most Badass Movie Of The 70s

By Matt |

Directed by Walter Hill and released in 1979, The Warriors was an awesome cult classic that people still loved today. The story of a New York City gang having to fight their way back to Coney Island while pursued by every other gang in the city has given us tons of great characters, memorable lines, and awesome action. Here are 10 scenes in particular that are just flat out great.

The awesome intro

Cyrus' speech

The Grammercy Riffs

The Radio DJ (who was also on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?)

The moments get even more awesome from here...

The crazy gangs that populate New York

'Watership Down' Terrified Us As Kids, But Now It's Back With A Brand New Remake

By Tanya
There are a bunch of movies from our childhood that looking back are kind of messed up. Whether it's kids getting turned into blueberries or aliens coming down from outer space only to phone home, we've had to deal with a lot. But there's one movie that confused a lot of kids, and probably scarred even more for life. Watership Down was an animated movie made in 1978, and while a cartoon about rabbits seems like it'd be a great choice for children, the truth is that it was kind of horrific. I believe that my brain has completely blocked

10 Weebles Playsets From Our Childhoods We Loved To Watch Wobble

By Tanya
There were always toys when you were a kid that seemed to be more important than the rest. There were some that you couldn't go to bed without, there were others that you spent months begging your parents for, and then there were a few that were just staples, readily available where ever you went. No matter which friends house you were at or doctor's office waiting room you were in, there were some that just seemed to be everywhere. Weebles were one of the toys you would be mostly likely to find anywhere that toys were set up for

Chevy Chase Bashes 'SNL' While Opening Up About His Bad Reputation

By Tanya
Chevy Chase is one of those iconic actors who had their hay day in the eighties, but since then, has seen a huge change in the way the public perceives them. While he was beloved for his Saturday Night Live classics and of course his time as the patriarch of the Griswald family, the actor no longer has the same clout that he used to. He had a brief attempt at a comeback, but if anything, he ended up making everything worse. But now he has spoken with The Washington Post about his career and his controversies, and it really

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John Reunite For The 40th Anniversary Of 'Grease'

By Tanya
Watching Grease as a kid was basically like seeing the epitome of idyllic high school situations. The coolest guy in school falls in love with a girl who teaches him how to be a better person, while teaching her how to loosen up. It really defined high school movies forever, and has remained a classic ever since. It's hard to believe that it has been 40 years since the movie came out, but here we are. When Grease came out in 1978, I don't know that anyone expected it to become the mega-hit that it did. John Travolta is still

Every '80s Kid Had One, But You Probably Don't Know The Story Behind Monchhichis

By Tanya
Toys were simpler when we were young. You didn't need to have something that had built-in Wi-Fi, or a built-in camera, or a giant hard drive, you just needed it to be cute. We had all kinds of stuffed animals to love. There were Care Bears, and Cabbage Patch Kids, and Puppy Surprises, but one toy managed to carry forward from the early 70s and make kids fall in love with it forever. Who else had a Monchhichi when they were young? Probably every single one of you, right? But where did they come from?The BeginningFlickrMonchhichi first came out
