I saw the original version of "The Outsiders" in the theater (Bellerose, NY). I've seen it quite a few times since. It's not a good movie. It's a very heavy handed melodrama. It's not a satisfying watch. The extended version is way better. The characters are more fleshed out and the story flows much better. It's still a chick flick disguised as a teen gang movie but that's okay. I watched both versions today back-to-back (Don't ask me why). The long version is the only way to watch "The Outsiders".
