    The Outsiders is amongst Francis Ford Coppola’s more underrated films
  • @jamieflowers534
    Goonies and Dead Poets Society had several actors that became famous later. And you can't forget River Pheonix in Stand By Me.
  • @CLB30ROX
    The Outsiders was the first book AND movie that I was obsessed with. The cast, story, and directing are all top tier
  • @dankamp2872
    "Taps" (1981) - first film breaks for both Tom Cruise and Sean Penn. Timothy Hutton, Giancarlo Esposito, Evan Handler, Billie Van Zandt and more, most in their very first movie roles.
  • @koveredincake
    As a 14 year old girl when Outsiders came out... I was fully aware of how great the cast was 💖
  • @nightstargill
    Ive waited YEARS for The Outsiders to make it to No.1 on The Mojo lists!! Its a masterpiece. My favourite movie of all time.
  • @fleeberjud4986
    The stars of "The Outsiders" were C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Leif Garrett and... Glen Withrow? It's like everyone in this cast made it big (or really big) except poor Glen, who I actually have never heard of.

    "Diner" by Barry Levinson - 1982. Cast included: - Pre- Footloose Kevin Bacon - Ellen Barkin - Mickey Rourke - Steve Gutenberg - Paul Reiser - Tim Daly - Daniel Stern Fantastic movie... especially the "Are you gonna eat that sandwich?" scene in the Diner... total ad lib The Big Chill: William Hurt; Meg Tilly, Glen Close, Kevin Kline, Jeff Goldblum, Jo Beth Williams, Mary Kay Place, Kevin Kostner (the corpse). It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World - 1962 Cast: Spencer Tracy, Buster Keaton, Dorothy Province, Rochester, Peter Falk, Mickey Rooney, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Joe E Brown, the 3 Stooges, Edie Adams, Dick Shawn, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett. Sam Peckinpah, King of violent movies, makes a frenetic comedy... hilarious.... worth looking for.

    The Outsiders is one of the few books that I enjoyed reading for a class. I don't think I'll ever recover emotionally, but it's amazing.
  • @15Candles
    It's pretty cool that most of the movies in this list were teen drama coming of age movies. Shows how special that genre is in bringing an ensemble cast together in which many of them have became bigger names over the years
  • "Phoebe Cates makes a memorable appearance" ...that's gotta be the understatement of the millennium 🤣
  • Gah I almost teared up with the five seconds of Johnny talking through his note to Ponyboy at the end of The Outsiders 😭😭
  • The Outsiders is awesome! Dead Poets Society should be on the list.
  • @the4hqueen
    I'm going to say Cruel Intentions....Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Geller, Selma Blair, Sean Patrick Thomas.
  • @ismailmayet6181
    I just saw The Outsiders recently I have never seen it before I absolutely loved Ralph Macchio acting in the movie incredible
  • In Fast Times at Ridgemont High don't forget that there was also Anthony Edwards and Eric Stoltz as Spicoli's Stoner Buddies! :D
  • @jakobnunez4964
    I rarely read books before i see the movie, but I'm glad they made us read the outsiders in class.
  • The Big Chill Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, Meg Tilly, Tom Berenger, William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place and Kevin Costner in his first role, only you only see his wrists. A must watch
