Amazon.co.uk Review
Director Francis Coppola's adaptation of the popular SE Hinton novel about the price of rebellious youth is notable chiefly for the stunning cast of young actors who went on to rich and varied careers. In supporting roles, the film features the likes of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Waits, among others. The story centres on two rival gangs in the early 1960s Midwest, and the violent turf wars that escalate and tragically claim young lives. C Thomas Howell plays the central character who yearns to prove himself and be accepted by his older brothers' gang, while at the same time finding his first love and dreaming of a life beyond his dead end existence. Geared toward the teenage crowd, The Outsiders nonetheless features some fine direction from Coppola in a story that evokes memories of the classic coming-of-age films of the 1950s. --Robert Lane

Format:DVD
I had read in a magazine that there was an extended cut DVD version of The Outsiders available to watch - also without the original musical score (in my opinion it wasn't in keeping with the movie), and I was hoping that this was it. There wasn't really a description on any of the options available over the internet, so I just hoped for the best. Luckily, this was it. It came very fast, worked great, and we enjoyed the film very much.

I absolutely love this film! I was introduced to it by my older sister and have loved it ever since.. The acting is super with a wicked cast- Tom cruise, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, C.Thomas Howell and more!! The characters are believeable and you feel a strong empathy with the central character Ponyboy!
I would reccommend this film aswell as the book to anyone!!
