I'd recommend The Wanderers. It's a brilliant greaser film, but edgy rather than cheesy. It's often confused with and overshadowed by The Warriors due to the similar title, same year of release, and guido gang themes.
Actually, watch both 
not on the same day though, otherwise it could get confusing.
Remember: Don't f*ck with the Wongs.

I really enjoyed the wanderers, very funny and some great accents (bonus for me) so would recommend it as well.
Also I recently saw "the lost bladesman" follows the story of some "die-nasty" warriors 
with donnie yen as guan yu. Was quite awesome

]Somehow, the notion of Lee Marvin singing is beyond my comprehension.

his singing skills were rudimentary at best, the producers tailored the arrangements to his limited vocal reach, concentrating on his basso strength. his whiskey and cigarettes voice actually is relaxing to listen to, very mellow and deep. the song he sang was "wandrin' star" and it fits him like a glove. consider watching "paint your wagon" 'cause i'd like your opinion of it. harve presnell [the operatically trained baritone singer who later played daddy warbucks in "annie"] also sings "they call the wind mariah" thoroughly nails that song as well. ironically, the singing voice of jean seberg was dubbed by anita gordon.

whiskey and cigarettes made many "greatest generation" men's voices sepulchral.

Actually, while Lee Marvin probably shouldn't have quit his day job, he wasn't all that terrible, either. I recall one episode of The Simpsons where they had done a parody of Paint Your Wagon where they imitated both Eastwood and Marvin, in which Marvin comes off as tone deaf.
