Totally engaging movie. From the storyline, to the great soundtrack, The Wanderers is non-stop entertainment. From 1979, the story of gangs in the Bronx in 1963, has great characters, great music, and great cars. Ken Wahl and Karen Allen have a chemistry on screen that is mesmerizing. All the characters are fun to watch, and the movie moves along very well. Totally enjoyable, spend a couple bucks, and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours.

I saw this movie when it came out in 1979, (I think it was '79) based on friends recommendations. I loved it. Great story line, soundtrack, and plenty of action. I grew up in an area where "gangs" (and I use that term very loosely, nothing compared to this movie)were prevalent, but not to the ethnic extent that is portrayed in this movie. Still, it reminded me of my youth, because unlike today's gangs, we did not use weapons. Enough about my misspent youth. The characters are for the most part believable. They pretty much cover the bases on all your different types of people. The different gangs are diverse and humorous at the same time. As are the members of the Wanderers. It is a violent movie, but personally, I think it fits right in with the times and situations. That's just my humble opinion. Definitely not a movie for kids. But, I think it's fine for teens. Especially in this day and age. One other thing I really liked about this movie is that it covered the assassination of John F Kennedy and the effect it had on everyday people. Everyday people of all colors and creeds are crowded around store windows watching the news coverage of the assassination, crying. It's one of this Country's most poignant times, and this film chronicles it. Very impressive to me. The football game between the Wanderers and the Del Bombers is excellent. That is, until the Ducky Boys decide to pay a visit. What follows is mayhem that not all folks have seen. And thankfully so. I, for one, have been in a similar situation, and let me tell you, this scene brought back memories that were long buried. Looking back, I can't believe I was in a situation like that, but I was. Nowadays, it terrifies me to think of being in that situation. But when I was young, like the Wanderers, it was just something that happened, and you had to get through. Bottom line is, great movie, well casted, great soundtrack and lots of interesting characters. Enjoy!Read full review

i like this movie because its a great movie about 1963 in the bronx. with actors no 1 ever heard of b 4 or after this film but an old good time movie. the music is great, classic cars, and these dudes r just plain cool. the only thing this movie lacked was hot rodding around the streets but in the bronx many people don t have cars. this movie i would rate a 9 out of 10 because the language is a little profane 4 younger viewers. this is a mans movie though they don t make classics like this anymore. i decided 2 buy this on dvd because i have it on an old tape and the audio and picture is nt very good. its also impossible 2 find on dvd.
