Outstanding
I had to read the book for a project in school this year as an 8th grader. It was outstanding. It was the last week of school and my class had finished our finals and we wanted to watch the movie, so my teacher went to our school library and got it for us. The movie follows the book pretty well but some parts were left out.

This book shows how lucky some people are compaired to others and makes a great point. It is like a less dramatic version of the movie "Elephant" which shows what people are going through. I am going to head down to my towns public library to borrow it and watch it again becuase it is one of the movies that you can just watch over and over again and still love it becuase it makes a great point and was directed really well.

I would recomend this movie to anyone who has not read it. I would read the book first becuase there are some parts that are left out in the movie that were pretty good.

It'll stay gold
What can I say about this movie? For starters, it was sad. Extremely. I've seen it three times since renting it three days ago, and I haven't made it through the last scene without bawling yet. Normally I don't like sad movies, but this one had a catch-it was powerful. Pony and his friends, to me, aren't greasers. They're simply wonderful, wonderful down-on-their-luck boys who haven't been given a chance to show how wonderful they are. In fact, I don't think any of them, especially Johnny, even realize how wonderful they are. If you don't like this movie, then you don't know a masterpiece when you see one. I can't believe five stars is as high as you can go. This movie deserves WAY, WAY, WAY more!
Another thing I liked about it? It followed the book. Pony didn't get jumped by the Socs in the beginning, and Soda didn't run out while Pony and Darry were fighting in the end, but other than that, it was no different from the book. All the lines were almost word for word.
It couldn't have had a better cast. Matt Dillon played Dally to perfection, Ralph Macchio was exactly how I pictured Johnny, Emilio Estevez had Two-Bit nailed down, Patrick Swayze was an awesome Darry, Rob Lowe was wonderful as Sodapop, Tom Cruise was great as Steve, and C. Thomas Howell-well, let's just say no one else could've pulled off Ponyboy. Even the Socs had it down pat. Matt, Ralph, Emilio, Patrick, Rob, Tom, Diane, C. Thomas, and everyone else, if you ever read this-THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS MOVIE! NO ONE ELSE COULD'VE DONE IT LIKE Y'ALL. YOU REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART! AND S.E. HINTON, THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS! :)
There's really no word in the English language that can describe how wonderful this movie-or book-is. Even seeing it for the first time twenty years after it was released, all the magic was there. STAY GOLD!

The Outsiders are the bomb!
Omg I LOVED the movie! It is now like my personal fav. And the book is awesome too. And Dally is totally hot in the movie. If you are reading this right now then I suggest you go buy it or rent it now and while you're at it go buy a box of tissues cause this movie is so sad but so good at the same time. This is a movie for the whole family to watch cause S.E. Hinton is a genuis. I mean the girl wrote it when she was 16. She totally deserves a lot of credit and hey she's even in the movie. That is just so cool to be in your own movie. I cry every time I see the movie or read the book... This is the best movie ever so go out there and see. And it's even cooler because it's got a young Tom Cruise, young Matt Dillion (who is Dally)Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Emilo Esteves, and Patrick Swayze. Which all do a terrific job as playing the greasers. Well I'm out. And remember The Outsiders ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
