The Outsiders (1983)

The Outsiders is peculiar, in that its biggest weakness is what also makes it so memorably charming. That is, of course, that the novel of the same name is very obviously the product of a 16-year-old girl. Even with heavyweight names like Francis Ford Coppola attached to the movie, the film remains a faithful adaptation of the novel and therefore isn't any more or less complex in its portrayal of the Greasers, its poor main characters, and the Socs, the rich rival gang.
