The Outsiders (film)
The Outsiders is a movie adaptation to the novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton, and was made in 1983 by Francis Ford Coppola. It starred C. Thomas Howell (Ponyboy Curtis), Matt Dillon (Dallas "Dally" Winston), Ralph Macchio (Johnny Cade), Diane Lane (Sherri "Cherry" Valance), Leif Garrett (Bob), as well as brat-packers Patrick Swayze (Darrel Curtis), Emilio Estevez (Keith "Two-Bit" Matthews), Rob Lowe (Sodapop Curtis), and Tom Cruise (Steve Randle). Tom Waits and Nicholas Cage also make cameos.
Matt Dillon went on to star in the related film, Rumble Fish. In September 2005, Coppola re-released the film, including 22 minutes of additional footage, entitled The Outsiders: The Complete Novel, reinserting scenes that were left out of the previous version, making this new version much closer to the book.

Hell, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many damn things I ain't seen or done. That time when we were in Windrixville was the only time I've ever been away from my neighborhood.
