It holds up

I adored this movie as a kid and as always I thought it was going to be remembered poorly but I watched it recently and it holds up pretty good. The core of the story is timeless and I have few criticisms of the film except that maybe the acting was a little bit hammy at times (We'll do it for Johnny!) but overall a good film. It had some really good shots. I especially liked they "stay gold" shot of Ponyboy and Johnny admiring the sunset.
Anywho, great story and I was impressed to find out that a teenage girl had written the book while in high school. Wow, great job!

Too bad it's barely remembered at all. Coppola also put out another S.E. Hinton based film that same year but shot very differently "Runblefish". I haven't re-watched either in years but am sure they hold up. Here's an interesting article on both

Yeah, that article was talking about how Rumble Fish is shot more surrealistically artistic compared to The Outsiders which is shot in a more traditional fashion. Coppola definitely had it. Maybe Tarantino's theory of a director only has ten good films in him perhaps holds true.

I'll have to check that one out, too.
Also, I just watched The Outsiders for the first time in December 2021. I've watched thousands of movies, really. I even have a database for the ones I've watched since 2001 (started because of NetFlix's "throttling" way back when renting movies by mail) and somehow I hadn't heard of the this one until last year and finally acquired it this year. I don't see how it is special or that great at all. It's barely an OK movie. It's watchable, but why would I watch this less than mediocre thing more than once? I wouldn't.
