O Cinema and The Film Junkies are proud to celebrate 50 years of an iconic classic, THE OUTSIDERS! The international bestselling novel and inspiration for a beloved movie.
“Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold”
Just 8 months shy of the film’s 35th anniversary, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the S.E. Hinton classic novel and the Francis Ford Coppola feature film together in one night. Many of us read the acclaimed novel in high school, but if you have never seen the 1983 coming-of-age drama that introduced us to C. Thomas Howell, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane, before they went on to take Hollywood by storm, you have truly missed out. Filmed back-to-back with another Hinton/Coppola classic, RUMBLE FISH, this marked an era when teenagers were beginning to be portrayed realistically on the big screen. THE OUTSIDERS is widely considered one of the most beloved film adaptations of all time and we couldn’t be more thrilled about presenting it to you.
