Summary: Wonderful
Comment: This is a great DVD with the extra scenes in it bringing the book more fully to life Don't get me wrong I adored the original but this is better. I think the music is fine and not at all distracting. Highly recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A fantastic remake
Comment: An excellent movie. The additional scenes are brilliant. I felt that the original movie showed Steve as more of a main character than Sodapop which was not how it was in the book. Don't know about the updated score though.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great film, terrible music
Comment: I can't believe the music is changed in this one. To me, it made the film feel completely different and not in a good way. To anyone that remembers the old version, hearing this new one is very difficult. Since it was a two disc set, I wish the second disc had the new version with new scenes available with the old music. I'll stick with the old one.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Director Francis Coppola's adaptation of the popular S.E. Hinton novel about the price of rebellious youth is notable chiefly for the stunning cast of young actors who went on to rich and varied careers. In supporting roles, the film features the likes of Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Waits, among others. The story centers on two rival gangs in the early 1960s Midwest, and the violent turf wars that escalate and tragically claim young lives. C. Thomas Howell plays the central character who yearns to prove himself and be accepted by his older brothers' gang, while at the same time finding his first love and dreaming of a life beyond his dead end existence. Geared toward the teenage crowd, the film nonetheless features some fine direction from Coppola in a story that evokes memories of the classic coming-of-age films of the 1950s. --Robert Lane
