Heaven is a dirt nap Yes this movie should not end up like Diary of a Wimpy Kid

[@UkeleleplayinQUESTIE]

They remade it as a tv series in the 90's; and it made me okay with how long it took DiCaprio to get an Oscar.

[@jiggles_piggles2693]

Noooooo it should definitely be remade! Who cares if it’s not the “classic”? The more outsiders the better I always say! Who cares if it sucks because it’s not the original? It would still be fun to make and they’ll simply be another movie so people can watch two! I wanna live in a world with as much outsiders stuff as possible!

Well just to clarify its not that he is aging , hes only like 30 something here and I don't think he looks ugly here in 2003 C . Thomas Howell got appendicitis and had to have three feet of intestine removed from himself that is why he looks the way he does.

I still have students 20 years later finding me in Facebook and such telling me to Stay Gold and I’m honored to get to read this 7 times a day for over 20 years.

Yes, he's so natural. He was so very good in "Born on the 4th of July". People were sobbing in the theater. When you have people choking back tears, that is talent. I don't agree with his personal beliefs, but he's a good actor.

[@davidpanetta6400]

Tom Cruise had a small part that had nothing to do with the success of this movie. The story centered around PonyBoy, Johnny and Dallas. The secondary characters were Cherry Valance and Daryl who was played by a very underrated actor named Patrick Swayze. All the other famous actors had minor roles.

Perfect cast. Worth it if your obsessed like me is to hear Rob Lowes take on his audio book " stories I only tell my friends."

Embarking on an audition, especially for something as iconic as "The Outsiders," is such a thrilling journey! It's a fantastic opportunity to showcase your talents and step into the shoes of some truly memorable characters. Remember, every audition is a chance to learn and grow, no matter the outcome. Keep shining bright and bringing those unique qualities only you can bring to the role. Break a leg!
