Plot: Teen rivalry in a small Southern town sets the stage for this dramatic interpretation of the novel by S.E. Hinton. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The Outsiders tells the story of the ongoing conflict between the Greasers and the Socs in rural Oklahoma. C. Thomas Howell stars as Ponyboy, the youngest of three orphaned boys who pal around with the local hoods known as the Greasers. When Ponyboy and his friend (Ralph Macchio) get into a deadly confrontation one night, the two go on the run from the cops, and they grow up quickly and soon realize the insignificance of their petty posturing. Matt Dillon stars as the tough-as-nails leader of their group and Patrick Swayze appears as Ponyboy's oldest brother. A host of other 1980s Brat Pack celebs fill out the cast. Dillon later appeared in another Coppola adaption of a Hinton book, Rumble Fish. ~ Bernadette McCallion, All Movie Guide

Question Actually
Added 9/25/2009

I was wondering if anyone knew if this particular version was the one with the court scene and the scene where Soda runs off. My copy doesn't have that and thats one of my favorite scenes!

Nice Acting and Actors, but Weak Script sinks the movie
Added 9/18/2009

Great Cast, great cinematography, Diane Lane is awesome looking, but who the hell wrote the screenplay? I wasn't sure if this was camp or what. And is F. Ford C perhaps the most over rated director of our time. Perhaps. I wasted my money buying this dvd. Oh well, the housing market has bottomed, the stock market is going up, and everything in America Sept 2009 is just great.

Fun but not very good
Added 8/16/2009

The Bottom Line:

With its homoerotic scenes of pretty boys bonding and fighting, West Side Story style gangs, and decidedly old-fashioned sense of storytelling The Outsiders certainly does not stack up to Coppola's enduring classics, but it's fun in a goofy sort of way and you could do worse if you just want 90 minutes (in the unextended edition) of campy entertainment.

2.5/4

The original version was better
Added 7/3/2009

I like the addition of extra scenes in this new edition, but the soundtrack was overdone. Now you can't hear a lot of the lines because they are drowned out by an overbearing soundtrack. This would be a total masterpiece if it weren't for the soundtrack.

The original version of the film wasn't as true to the book, but it was a better movie. The best movies are true to the medium of movie making, which does not necessarily include everything from the book on which it is based.
