This 91 minute feature film is a DVD starring C. Thomas Ho well, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lan e, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, and Rob Lowe. It's directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Set in 1966; Produced and released in 1983.
Francis Ford Coppola's stylized teen melodrama is based on the popular novel by S. E. Hinton. In 1960s Tulsa, the "right" and "wrong" sides of the tracks are represented by rival gangs, the upscale Socs and the underprivileged Greasers. Darrel Curtis (Patrick Swayze) is doing his best to raise his two younger brothers, Sodapop (Rob Lowe in his first film role) and Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell). Sensitive Ponyboy is a budding writer in love with Cherry (Diane Lane), the unobtainable beauty from the enemy gang. When Ponyboy's buddy, troubled Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio), kills one of the Socs in self-defense, their friend Dallas (Matt Dillon) helps the two youths hide out in an abandoned country church. There they live as exiles from a society that doesn't want them. But not all is lost, when Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dallas save some children caught in a fire they become unlikely heroes.
The young cast is the jewel of this sensitive, moving film. Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez play Greasers, and pop singer Leif Garrett plays rich-kid Bob. Dillon also starred that year in another S. E.Hinton adaptation directed by Coppola--the fascinating and extremely entertaining RUMBLE FISH. THE OUTSIDERS marks the film debut of Rob Lowe.
S.E. Hinton wrote THE OUTSIDERS when she was only 15 and had it published two years later in 1967. It was her first novel; it sold millions of copies. Hinton was the author of other popular teen novels such as TEX and RUMBLE FISH, both of which were made into movies starring Matt Dillon. RUMBLE FISH was also directed by Coppola the same year.
Francis Ford Coppola first became aware of S.E. Hinton's book THE OUTSIDERS when Jo Ellen Misakian, a librarian at the Lone Star School in Fresno, California, and her students wrote a letter to Coppola suggesting the book be made into a movie. He dedicated the film to them.
THE OUTSIDERS spawned a TV series.
Sofia Coppola has one line in the film as a little girl asking Dallas Winston for a dime.
S.E. Hinton appears in the film as a nurse.
"Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold."--Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio)
"He's so greasy he glides when he walks. He goes to the barbershop for an oil change, not a haircut."--Two-Bit Matthews (Emilio Estevez) Outsiders Reviews: "...[A film] in which angels with dirty faces but immaculately pure hearts burn with a hard, gemlike flame..."
-- Gilbert Adair, Sight and Sound "...Well acted and crafted....Howell is truly impressive....Macchio is outstanding..."
-- Cart., Variety 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE OUTSIDERS is funny, touching and revelatory....Coppola has given the film a fullness that makes it feel freshly minted."

Outsiders Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews An inspirational movie with an all star cast
The Outsiders stars some of today's hottest stars, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, to name but a few. This is a story about gangs, adventure, bravery and friendship. It focuses on 2 Greasers, who after kiling one of their rival gang members, the higher class Soc's, they go on the run. The film follows the 2 'outsiders' and seems them bond, before returning home, having become heroes by rescuing school children from a church fire. It's a fantastic and realistic focus on the tough upbringings of the poor (financially) greasers and the upper class Soc.

 all star cast of 60's youth gone bad
A classic tale set in the streets in the 1960s. The rivalry between the socs and greasers is a timeless struggle that all can relate to in their own way

The love saga winds to a close as Belinda (Sarah Jones) takes on a new responsibility while accepting guidance from the place she least expected it. Female doctors are a rarity in the Old West, but Belinda has carved out an impressive niche for herself in a small, tight-knit Missouri community. Her best friend, Annie (Haylie Diff), is about to give birth, and Belinda has agreed to monitor her as she carries the baby to term. But for a woman who has always put science first, Annie's folksy mother-in-law, Mary (Patty Duke), isn't always the easiest person to deal with. Experienced nursemaid Mary would rather rely on homeopathic treatments that taking the advice of doctors, and before long the two women are hopelessly at odds over how to handle the pregnancy.

Outsiders review
$14.59
Director Alan Parker's intense and fully realized film interpretation of the English band's classic album THE WALL melds whimsical fantasy with dark Shakespearean drama. The film makes innovative use of sets, costumes, and special effects to create a unique surrealistic strangeness worthy of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's UN CHIEN ANDALOU. Both disturbing and bedazzling, PINK FLOYD: THE WALL is a must-see film for any music lover.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the release of Alan Parker's masterpiece film version of Pink Floyd's groundbreaking prog rock album "The Wall", Columbia has released this special limited-edition DVD of the film. Packaged in a deluxe DVD digi-pak designed to look like "The Wall" with ...

AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard) prepares to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend, is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious doubts about his future. Also included here are the hopeless nerd (Charles Martin Smith) and the eternally cool drag racer, John (Paul LeMat), who feels ...

Outsiders film
$8.35
Formed in 1975 from the remnants of a British blues band and a California soft-rock duo, Fleetwood Mac evolved into one of the most successful pop-rock groups of the 1970s--a reputation no doubt cemented by their 1977 masterpiece RUMORS. One of the bestselling albums of all time, RUMORS' impeccable songwriting, lush vocal harmonies, and polished production stand as testament to the band's cohesive powers--a fact made even more remarkable by the romantic tensions roiling amongst its members at the time (Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were ending their long-term romantic relationship; Christine and John McVie were getting a divorce). This episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series recounts the making of Fleetwood Mac's career-making opus through interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and live performances of timeless ...
