In the Bronx in the early sixties all that mattered was the name on your jacket. The Wanderers led by heart throb, Richie (Ken Wahl - TV's Wiseguy), are just one of the gangs fighting for turf in this darkly comic re-imagining of the golden age of American innocence. Love, loyalty and pretty girls keep The Wanderers busy while they fend off The Baldies, The Duckie Boys and The Del Roys - and struggle to keep their crew together...no matter what. A cult classic directed by Academy Award® nominee Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff, The Unbearable Lightness of Being), The Wanderers features a superb soundtrack full of sixties rock 'n' roll hits. 1979 Polyc International B.V, All Rights Reserved.

The protagonists of The Wanderers casually use racial slurs that would code them as bad guys in a film made today, and there's a quite uncomfortable scene where they harass women in the street, yet we're still expected to see them as basically sympathetic characters. No doubt when it was released some four decades ago, their behaviour was viewed much less harshly than it would be today (see, we are making progress as a species!). These are the disconnects we sometimes face when watching older films. With an engaging cast and a stonking 60s soundtrack, The Wanderers is an entertaining coming of age tale with the courage to not give its characters any pat answers to their troubles. If the opening paragraph didn't put you off (and I understand if it did), then it's worth a look.

I bought the HD version but it only play's on SD, not happy. Waste of $2... But an absolute great movie. Classic.

This movie is great fun. It's fairly well known in cult circles. Even my parents liked this, my Dad bought the Soundtrack, you could only get it on vinyl.
