I want to see if there is anyone that enjoyed this movie as much as I did. It was my favorite movie back then and love most of the actors that starred in this movie. How many of you have seen it and enjoyed it? Who was your favorite character?

Ponyboy was my favorite and I love the song by Stevie Wonder as well.

Ponyboy was very good in this movie. I thought Johnny was very good as well. I liked all the Greasers as a matter of fact and you are right that Stevie Wonder song is very beautiful.

I, too, would have to say that I liked Ponyboy better. It was a really good movie and book. There were a lot of before they were stars in that movie. It has been a long time since I have seen it but would you believe that they are still showing it in schools? My daughter read the book in school and when they were done, the teacher brought in the movie for them to watch.:)

That is great that they are still showing in schools and people are still reading the book. I have not read the book, just the movie.

This was an excellent movie with some stars that were mostly unknowns at the time and later became quite famous. Patrick Swayze for one not to mention Tom Cruise. It was one I did enjoy. I don't think I really have a favorite, they were all such great characters and the actors did such a good job playing them that to pick one just isn't possible for me.

This is one of my favorite all time classic movies and loved all the actors in it. This movie I think helped make a lot of the actors famous.

Yes, I have seen the movie. I liked it. Liked it enough that I gave several people the movie for Christmas a couple of years ago.

My 13 year old daughter has it. She watches it all of the time. She said she thinks she's seen The Outsiders more than any other movie. I haven't taken the time to sit and watch it for awhile. Hhmm, I just might need to do that.

I started a discussion on this book but have received no replies. It is the 40th anniversary of the book this year and they are putting out a special edition. My daughter is studying it in school and took the movie out at the library and watched it a couple of times.

Who was my favourite? I was a freakin' teenage girl back then! They were all my favourites - especially Matt Dillon. Yum! I also have a photograph taken off the tv of Rob Lowe coming out of the shower. He he he! Yeah, we froze the VCR and took pictures of the TV screen. Pathetic, huh?

Well, now you know how much I loved the movie.:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. kgwat70 (10050)  1 year ago

All the actors in this movie have done very well for themselves since the making of The Outsiders. I like them all too like Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon and the others. I think this movie started them off to success. This movie is definitely a classic.

I enjoyed the movie the outsiders. It was a really Good movie for sure. When you look at all the Actors in there, and see where they are now, it is even more impressive. And since you like the Movie "Outsiders", you need to see the movie Alpa Dogs" if you have not done so, as it reminds me of outsiders, and is actually quite a Good movie as well.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kgwat70 (10050)  1 year ago

It was most definitely a very good movie and can watch it over and over again. It certainly has very famous actors in this movie. I have never heard of Alpa Dogs. Who is in that movie?

I like the movie as well, but I have to say that the book is much better. I had to read it in Jr. High and I liked it so much that I had to go out and find more books by that author and I ended up loving those, too.

I watched this movie very recently. I read the book before I watched the movie and then I decided I should check out the movie. It had very sad parts to it such as when Dally was shot down and when Johnny died. I also thought it was very heroic of Ponyboy and Johnny to go into that burning building to save those kids. I understood what he meant when he said they had more to live for than he did. He probably thought that he wasted his life by ruining it with drugs and violence. I just thought of Ponyboy telling Cherry about Johnny getting beaten up badly by the Socs.
