I can't really have an opinion about the quality of the movie, since it came out at a too-formative age for me. I still looooooved it.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I was super jealous that my best friend had cable, so she could watch it basically every day of 5th grade.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But The Outsiders movie is still considered pretty great and was at the time as well, personal nit-picks aside.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not sure anyone here saw Restrepo, but the photojournalist behind the movie has died on the frontlines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Prim cast in Hunger Games. Apparently her lack of plucking is raising a storm on the internet.
