• NYC Noir: The Warriors and Superfly
  
• Various times @ Film Forum, 209 W. Houston Street, Manhattan

The Warriors is one of those few cult films that is even better than what you've heard. At least if you like campy machismo, gangs who aspire to Dick Tracy villain levels of visual gimmckery, and fights with baseball bats. If you played the fantastic Rockstar videogame based on the movie, you'll probably appreciate it on a deeply personal level. Superfly is pretty fun too.
