4.0 out of 5 stars This original version was better than the new one., July 2, 2009

By	Jeremy Hoyt "Jeremy Hoyt" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked that they added previously deleted scenes to the new version to give us more of the story, but the soundtrack they added to the new "special edition" takes away from the original movie. If they had added those scenes without adding the overbearing soundtrack, the new version would be a masterpiece. This original version is a better movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy THE OUTSIDERS: THE COMPLETE NOVEL DVD, December 7, 2008

By	Ken C. (MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

While this is the movie that was first released at 91 minutes, I recommend that fans purchase instead THE OUTSIDERS: THE COMPLETE NOVEL which runs for 119 minutes. Hinton herself has expressed a preference for THE COMPLETE NOVEL DVD's opening, which provides a more gradual introduction to each of the boys in the gang. It's truer to the book and gives viewers a better sense of the Greasers' personalities.

In addition to the opening, THE COMPLETE NOVEL DVD adds in other previously-unseen scenes and provides a new soundtrack, including Stevie Wonder's "Stay Gold" during the opening credits.

Don't get me wrong -- this is a good film and worth buying. I'm only saying that there is another version that is even better. It does the book more justice and gives you more footage for your buck.
