The one thing that sticks out the most in my memory of The Outsiders is that Stevie Wonder song "Stay Gold" and the main title sequence. It just makes you feel all warm inside. Unfortunately for the Special Edition DVD, Coppola omitted this song as well as the moody score in favor of rock and roll jams of the time period. As much as I respect Coppola, it really ruins the movie for me. Trust me, if you're gonna buy the DVD, stick with the original version.
As a kid, my favorite Outsider was Emilio Estevez as Two-Bit. He was the perfect combination of funny and cool. His weapon of choice was a butterfly knife. He rocked a Mickey Mouse T-shirt with a leather jacket. He had beer and chocolate cake for breakfast. Seriously, how cool is that?
