The Wiz and The Warriors

Which is the more frightening vision of NYC in the 70s? The social commentary of The Wiz went completely over my head when I saw it in the theater, although I do remember being freaked out about the Evil Columns in the subway. The boys didn't really like it, so not the best Family Night movie. The Warriors is definitely not family fare. Favorite design-geek Tufte-Alert line, as the gang tries to read the Massimo Vignelli subway map to figure out how to get back to Coney: "Ah, forget that, no one can figure that out anyway." Can you dig it? 3.5 and 3 stars, respectively.
