Good thing Sin City proved successful, as Universal probably would not have revisited this gem otherwise.

Universal really seems to be interested in releasing interesting DVDs this year. I hope they keep it up.

The date is wrong in the title: it should be 13.09.05.

I'll have to double dip on this one.

Very nice and hopefully the WB's much-delayed The Outsiders SE will soon follow!

13.08.05

British people suck.

Actually I believe only the Japanese have the real correct way to write dates: year/month/day, so September 13, 2005, would be written as 05/09/13 - which to me makes the most sense, as the American and European ways are both illogical.

Here's hoping for a Coppola commentary. And maybe some of the footage used in the (slightly longer) TV version thrown in as an extra.

I almost got the OOP the other day, glad I held off.

Why is it illogical for the Europeans to start from the smallest increment and work up, but logical for the Japanese to start from the largest increment and work down?

RF is an all-time persoanl fave! I've had the current disc for years...and actually saw this in the theater on it's original theatrical run.

Shit, I gotta fight Biff Wilcox at ten.

Because the dates, when sorted automatically, fall out of order, when sorted from A to Z. Smallest increment, you mean days? The smallest increments would actually be years, since they change the least. So if you had a list of dates written the Japanese way, they would all sort correctly. The European way, the first days all the months would be first, which would screw up any chronology.

Here are the final specs and a link to the artwork:

Why or how did this film flop theatrically?

is this movie in B/W or color?

Black and white with stylish flashes of color. It's a great film and a great DVD.

The new "The Outsiders" DVD is excellent too.

Why or how did this film flop theatrically?

It was such a dramatic change of pace from Coppola's string of blockbusters (Godfather/Godfather II/Apocalypse Now) because it was so low-key in comparison that it put filmgoers off. The downward slide started with One From The Heart, released in 1982.

i always thought matt dillion was too much of a punk in this movie..

Just the right amount of punk for me. I grew up with this film and it's still in my top 5 faves of all time. Saw it twice in the theater and have always seemed to own a copy of the film, one way or the other. Back in the 80's when I was in radio, I think I was the only dude to actually play cuts off the ST. It helped that I was a huge Wall of Voodoo fan! It sucks that the music vid had such crappy sound, though.:thumbsdown:

I thought he was PERFECT. Everyone is good in this film... DILLON, ROURKE, DIANE LANE....

Perfect casting!
