Product Description:
In 1983 Francis Ford Coppola's film of S.E. Hinton's novel struck a powerful chord with audiences capturing the intense feelings of being caught between childhood and adulthood and not belonging anywhere. Decades later Coppola has revisited the film and reintegrated 22 minutes of character-enriching footage including a new beginnning and ending more true to the book. A rousing new rock-n-roll soundtrack featuring six songs from Elvis Presley and other music greats make this new version of The Outsiders one of movie history's great rediscoveries.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 085392255429
Amazon.com essential video:
Director Francis Coppola's adaptation of the popular S.E. 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 centers 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 film 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
Amazon.com:
No one was surprised when Francis Ford Coppola revisited Apocalypse Now, but his overhaul of The Outsiders raised a few eyebrows. Here was a modestly successful film better remembered for its Brat Pack cast than its Oscar-winning director, but The Complete Novel succeeds in bringing more of S.E. Hinton's young adult classic to the screen along with Coppola's epic vision. The story remains the same: The working class greasers and wealthy Socs ("Socials") of Tulsa, OK, circa 1966, are at war. Despite the bigger names in the cast--Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe--the friendship between C. Thomas Howell's Ponyboy and Ralph Macchio's doomed Johnny is still the focus. If anything, Tom Cruise, as an obnoxious greaser, gives the least promising performance, while Matt Dillon (Crash) as the unpredictable Dally and Diane Lane (Unfaithful) as the beautiful Cherry provide a taste of the mature work to come. Aside from 22 minutes of restored footage (including a prologue and epilogue), which add heart and grandeur, The Complete Novel includes several new rock and roll tracks, most by Elvis Presley. In the end, the revamped Outsiders still plays like a cross between Rebel Without a Cause and The Last Picture Show--and that's a good thing. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I had seen and read this book 24 years ago and I just had to own it. The story is as true to life for young people today as it was back then. Timeless!!

Bought this movie after my 10th grader did a book report on the Outsiders. They loved it and had to show all their friends. Took it on vacation and they watched it on the way there, there, and on the way home.

The Outsiders is a good film but I've grown sick of it over the years. Matt Dillion, Ralph Macchio, and C. Thomas Howell give the best performances in this all-star cast. I like the story but the look of this film is so dated and washed-out. This is a film every young adult should watch, and hey look for a red-headed Diane Lane who plays the beautiful but stubborn Cherry. Give this film a try sometime.

Boy, what a train-wreck of a movie this is now. The addition of endless pseudo-surf-style instrumentals ruins this otherwise classic. Surf music in a movie about Oklahoma teenagers? Unless there are waves and surfers somewhere in Oklahoma City I don't know about, it simply DOES NOT WORK. In addition, the music is EVERYWHERE. There is not one moment of silence left in this film anymore. There used to be spaces of silent introspection, punctuated by a distant dog bark or a train whine - now they are ... Read More
