Outsiders, The (DVD)

In 1966 Tulsa, teenagers come two ways. If you're a "soc", you've got money, cars and a future. But if you're a "greaser", you're an outsider with only your friends... and a dream that someday you'll finally belong. Francis Ford Coppola's powerful film of S.E. Hinton's classic novel captures how it feels to be caught between childhood innocence and adulthood's disillusionment, with an all-star cast including Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze and Rob Lowe. Movingly and in an intensively visual style, Coppola has made these street rats and their struggle heroic... and unforgettable.
