Just sat down again tonight and watched this wonderful movie! Who else absolutely loved this? Didn't it make you want to be a "greaser"?

I would have liked to have watched it tonight. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//frown.gif Unfortunely I work evenings. Don't get home till 11:30 at night. Good thing I have a vcr. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif Lets me tape a lot of good shows.

I absoluteely LOVED that movie. All the future stars that were in it. Just think, you had Swazey, Cruise, esteves, Lowe, Machio, C. Thomas Howell, Diane Lane, Leif Garret. WOW what a cast. How odd is it that Machio and C Thomas basically starred in the movie, yet were the least sucessfull of the cast (not counting Lief Garrett).

I might have to add that to my "request it at the midnight movie" list.

Had my walls covered with his pictureshttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif Now though its Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise and Kevin Spaceyhttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//00wink.gif Why cant there be any guys like that around here in Ohio?http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//frown.gif By the way I dont have my walls covered with their pictures just the ceiling! hehehttp://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif

A kindhearted woman gains respect.

Now that was a great movie! A virtual who's who of future stars without the egos! Its one of those movies I never get tired of.

The movie was cool, but I liked the book better. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//smile.gif

Loved that movie,sometimes I watch it and actually consider cutting my hair and greasing it into a pompadore.(I got a couple Rock-a-billy friends that always encourage it).Best line from that movie:"Now there's a hood,He's so greasy,he glides when he walks"

We got to read the Outsiders in Junior High and see the movie. My boyfriend grew up not too far from where it was filmed in Oklahoma.

The movie is great, the book even better....My name is Ponyboy Curtis....Dairy and Soda..How about Matt Dillon - I didn't want to be a greaser but definitely wanted to date one (those guys and I are all about the same age).

Anyone remember this movie? It's one of my all time favorites. I can't even begin to count how many times I saw it :)

"We gotta get IN with those Soc's! Let's do it for Johnny!"

:D

I love The Outsiders! One of the most "80s" casts of any movie. Look at all of those Brat Packers and 80s icons!!! :thumb:

That movie ranks in my Top 5 movies of all time. Matt Dillon's character was so awesome in the movie.

I agree. It was so sad when his character was shot to death by the cops... :(

Stay gold ;) :D

Great movie, I have it on DVD. What a cast, they all became famous in one way or another....."Let's do it for Johnny"

I love the Outsiders! I own it on dvd too and I've loved it for years. It's a classic film and it's quite moving for a teen flick. I still get all weepy when Johnny et the end. I know the poem by Robert Frost by heart, from hearing it so many times on the movie.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down today
Nothing gold can stay

I hope I did that right lol, great movie!

Definitely a great line up of stars. I saw this for the first time about a year or two ago. Very memorable movie.

I used to love this movie. Then I got it on DVD and watched it recently. I still liked it but not as into it as I was in the 80s.

Great movie. I wasnt much of a reader untill an english teacher turned me on to S.E.Hiltons books. ( S.E. Hilton??? ) Im totally at a lost for the names:mad:


Help me out!!!:dammit: :irked:

The book was good as well. By the way Surfnut, it was S.E. Hinton.

What a classic, i always liked that movie. I even had a video party once playing Outsiders and St. Elmos fire as these are movies you can watch over and over again. And thew cast, brilliant! :)

I read the book in grade 7 and then we watched the movie. I was never interested in reading about gangs and all that but the book was so gripping!

One thing I never understood though, were the characyers' names. Ponyboy, Soda Pop.... were these nicknames?

No Sketch, they were the character's real names. In the book Ponyboy says how his parents gave them those names.

The book was way better, but the movie was good also. I just can't stomach Matt Dillon. I've been running into him for years, whether it was on the street in Mamaroneck, NY (where he grew up) or when he used to come and see my old band all the time. He was always a little obnoxious.

One story in particular stood out.....when he first made it in Hollywood, my band was playing a local bar called "Bottoms Up" one night. There was Matt dancing at the front of the stage, drunk. Afterwards we were hanging out at the bar when he stumbled up and said "Man, that's the first time all the women in a club weren't looking at just me!" After yessing him to death, he came up to me and said "Nice bass man, I have a pre-CBS Fender Precision myself." This caught my attention and I asked him how long he was playing. He replied, "I don't, it just hangs on my wall." This is a bass I would kill for, and this asshole uses it for decoration. What a tool......

Okay, I'll stop ranting now! :lol:

:lol: Next time you run into him and Matt's drunk, see if you can get him to agree to giving you the guitar. He might be pretty vulernable if you buy him a couple.

Those S.E. Hinton books were good. I haven't thought about those in years. I'll have to see if I still have them at my mom's someplace. Haven't seen the movie itself for a while either.

Relaly? I don't remember. Can you tell me?

I read the book in 7th grade and watched the movie in class, too!
...crazy.

My high school did a play of it too....but my grades weren't too great my freshman year, so I didn't get to be in it.

Great movie with an oustanding future cast of whos who. Cant get any better than that.

I don't remember exactly, but I know he was telling Cherry (I think that was her name) about how his parents either had a sense of humor or wanted them to be original, thus their odd names.

<-----Picking this book up while I'm out today!

I have read it so many times, yet I've never owned it. Always borrowed from the library. Can you guys believe it isn't in my classroom library? I have Rumblefish and That Was Then This Is Now but not The Outsiders which is my favorite out of all of them. :no:
