'The Wanderers' is a 1979 coming-of-age drama film directed by Philip Kaufman. Set in the Bronx, New York City, during the early 1960s, the film follows the lives of a group of teenage friends known as "The Wanderers" as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, love, and identity.

The film explores the trials and tribulations of these young men as they confront rival gangs, face family issues, and deal with the complexities of young love. It also delves into the evolving social and cultural landscape of the era, including the impact of rock 'n' roll music and the changing dynamics of their neighborhood.

With a mix of humor, drama, and nostalgia, 'The Wanderers' captures the spirit of youth and the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a tight-knit group of friends. It's a poignant and authentic portrayal of a bygone era, showcasing the struggles and aspirations of a group of teenagers on the cusp of adulthood.

I still have The Wanderers & Warriors on VHS and still own a Sanyo VCR in excellent working order. I’m 74 still living in the 70’s 💁‍♀️

[minekara]

My all time underrated film. Love the sound track, the characters, the

[forgottenfilmchannel]

loved the 1970's gang flicks. Thanks for bringing this one back.

The character Emilio was one hell of a fighter in this film. He took out several Ducky Boys in the brawl at the end even though he was 20-30 years older than they were. Unforgettable scene where he breaks off the wooden bench before the brawl so he can use it as a club.

[drewhunkins]

Wife and I just watched this the other night on dvd. Excellent film. Never would be made today.

[cayasm]

One of my favourite films, fantastic soundtrack.

[jamez]

Love The Wanderers the best. Have it on DVD 📀! Saw this movie the first time on cable TV back in 1980.

[derekoshaughnessy]

Every time this movie played i recorded and watched it nearly every day! Loved that movie! Give me a time when we recorded movies from tv and rented movies any day of the week!

Earland Van Lidth De Jeude (aka Terror) was not only an actor, he was an opera singer, a NCAA wrestler and a computer scientist who received his computer science and engineering degree from MIT. Despite his imposing stature, he was the nicest and kindest guy. Definitely too soon taken.

[annacallahan]

The Wanderers is a run away winner in my book.

[epappas]

I’m glad to see so many of the actors are still with us- why no convention or comic cons - I loved this film

[joannp]

Absoluter Kultfilm in der Clique gewesen. War meine erste Original VHS Video Cassette. Hoch und Runter abgespielt. ♥️

[patrickomalley]

Ken Wahl was fantastic in "Wiseguy." I watch the repeats every chance I get. His career was cut short due to an accident. Sucks there are only four seasons of Wiseguy.

[vemonist]

Of the three 1979 "gang" movies, my favorite has always been Walter Hill's "The Warriors, " with "The Wanderers" running a close second.
I've always been a big fan of director Walter Hill - The Warriors, Streets of Fire, 48 Hours, Another 48 Hours, Crossroads, Red Heat, Southern Comfort, Last Man Standing, Hard Times, The Getaway (remake), etc.

[redmille]

The Wanderers was on every Saturday night for what seemed like years, back from the pub, fry up and The Wanderers, Christ I miss those days!

'The Wanders' is an underrated film. The first time I saw this film (I do believe) it was on the Arts and Entertainment Channel when it was a good channel. Sometime afterwards I rented the video (VHS) at a rental video store. I always thought it was the New York version of 'American Graffiti', but with a more serious storyline, and going towards the end of the film it almost brought me to tears because of the change that was just starting out on the music scene. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just the memories of that time period that I remember when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. Definitely one of my favorite films.

_The Wanderers_ will always be my favorite. Seen it for the first time in 1983 when my parents bought a video recorder. I remember seeing the trailer of _The Warriors_ at our Drive-in once when I was about 11 and it scared me. Tried to watch it a couple of times on video later on but couldn't get into it...
