 The Outsiders The Outsiders Quote: The Outsiders is a 1983 American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, an adaptation of the 1967 novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton. The film was released in March 1983. Jo Ellen Misakian, a librarian at Lone Star Elementary School in Fresno, California, and her students were responsible for inspiring Coppola to make the film.
The Outsiders is noted for its cast of up-and-coming stars, including C. Thomas Howell (who garnered a Young Artist Award), Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane. The film helped spark the Brat Pack genre of the 1980s. Both Lane and Dillon went on to appear in Coppola's related film Rumble Fish.

Still a decent flick though.

Has there ever been a movie that produced so many stars that have headlined their own films or TV shows?
Matt Dillon
Ralph Macchio
C. Thomas Howell
Patrick Swayze
Rob Lowe
Emilio Estevez
Tom Cruise
Diane Lane
The book was a little better, but the movie was a strong adaption of it, and the casting was perfect.
B+

Its been a very long time since I saw the movie, it was a pretty good movie and I have never read the book but another book adapated from a SE Hinton novel "That was Then This Is Now" was as good of a movie
