The Outsiders (1983)
Leave it to Hollywood to make a movie about Greasers using the Brat Pack. Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Tom Cruise don't usually make you think about tough hoods who go around fighting all the time, but somehow the entire cast works. This adaptation stays very true to the book it's based on, right down to specific lines. Emilio Estevez, C. Thomas Howell, and Matt Dillon stand out as the stars. I really like the common theme of not being able to hold onto innocence, in the book and the movie, by the use of the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
