I read this in High School and i liked it, then they came with the movie and every thing came to life.DVD Review: Excellent additions! Great for my classroom!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've shown this extended version to my 7th grade students the last couple of years, and it is a much better adaptation of the novel than the original. The scenes that are added are straight out of the book and add more depth to the characters and story. Plus, the additional music is very, very good.
The bonus disk has many extras which I could also use in class as background and in showing some aspects of movie-making. It's amazing how many famous actors were put together, and they shed some interesting background on the movie. As a teacher, I love this movie, and my kids really enjoy it too. The only "problem" is the amount of profanity, but really in today's world, it's nothing too extreme.
DVD Review: The Outsiders are loaded with future stars
Summary: 3 Stars
It was fun to watch with my grand daughter. Nearly everyone in this movie became a big star. DVD Review: Awesome service!
Summary: 5 Stars
This seller's item was just as described. It also came very quickly and was accompanied by a very nice thank you note (handwritten). I wish all places came with that kind of service!!!
Description of The Outsiders - The Complete Novel (Two-Disc Special Edition)
In 1983, Francis Ford Coppola's film of S.E. Hinton's novel struck a powerful chord with audiences, capturing the intense feelings of being caught between childhood and adulthood, and not belonging anywhere. Decades later, Coppola has revisited the film and reintegrated 22 minutes of character-enriching footage, including a new beginnning and ending more true to the book. A rousing new rock-n-roll soundtrack featuring six songs from Elvis Presley and other music greats make this new version of The Outsiders one of movie history's great rediscoveries.DVD Features:

Director Francis Coppola's adaptation of the popular S.E. Hinton novel about the price of rebellious youth is notable chiefly for the stunning cast of young actors who went on to rich and varied careers. In supporting roles, the film features the likes of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Waits, among others. The story centers on two rival gangs in the early 1960s Midwest, and the violent turf wars that escalate and tragically claim young lives. C. Thomas Howell plays the central character who yearns to prove himself and be accepted by his older brothers' gang, while at the same time finding his first love and dreaming of a life beyond his dead end existence. Geared toward the teenage crowd, the film nonetheless features some fine direction from Coppola in a story that evokes memories of the classic coming-of-age films of the 1950s. --Robert Lane
No one was surprised when Francis Ford Coppola revisited Apocalypse Now, but his overhaul of The Outsiders raised a few eyebrows. Here was a modestly successful film better remembered for its Brat Pack cast than its Oscar-winning director, but The Complete Novel succeeds in bringing more of S.E. Hinton's young adult classic to the screen along with Coppola's epic vision. The story remains the same: The working class greasers and wealthy Socs ("Socials") of Tulsa, OK, circa 1966, are at war. Despite the bigger names in the cast--Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe--the friendship between C. Thomas Howell's Ponyboy and Ralph Macchio's doomed Johnny is still the focus. If anything, Tom Cruise, as an obnoxious greaser, gives the least promising performance, while Matt Dillon (Crash) as the unpredictable Dally and Diane Lane (Unfaithful) as the beautiful Cherry provide a taste of the mature work to come. Aside from 22 minutes of restored footage (including a prologue and epilogue), which add heart and grandeur, The Complete Novel includes several new rock and roll tracks, most by Elvis Presley. In the end, the revamped Outsiders still plays like a cross between Rebel Without a Cause and The Last Picture Show--and that's a good thing. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
