I have to say the director has a pretty good taste for actors ;-)

Omg Matt seemed so nervous "I guess I'll, ill, I'll read Dallas I guess um." I'm deceased

An American classic that should NEVER BE REMADE.

"I guess I'll read for Dallas." *BECOMES DALLAS FOR THE MOST MEMORABLE MOVIE EVER*

Matt Dillon comes in so cool lol right off the top i'd be like "we got our our Dallas"

"Alright don't slam the door." *door slams* *annoyed look* Ah. Love it.

Admit it, when you read this book in class and saw the movie yall were automatically crushing on Ponyboy

I love how the casting director described the audition process as "fun" and the actors described it as "grueling". lol

4:41 Pony: Dont slam the door! Person: *slams door* Pony: *rlLy bItCH*

the part when Rob Lowe says "Im sorry this isn't working I don't know why.." is so adorableeee omgg😍😍

I don't think being as attractive as Rob Lowe should be legal like I just don't understand

My favorite part 4:40 "Don't slam the door." *door slams* Ponnyboy: *You little sh*t.* 😂😂

Why is Matt Dillon so hot? he's like wine

It's weird watching this after watching the movie. Especially with Tom Cruise as Dallas...

I was crushing on all of them lol!!!😍😍😍

I don't know why but I think Ralph Macchio who played johnny in this movie was hot at the time 😂 anyone else??

Ha the casting director kept saying that rob Lowe was very pretty

Seeing them all grown is sad :,(

JOHNNY IS TOO ADORABLE TO DIE

Matt sounds like dall with out acting Lol I love his voice

The actor who played ponyboy is not ugly it's called aging

Gosh I'm so glad they chose the actors that they did 😂

"He(Rob) is incredibly pretty." OMGINDBFB

"I'm sorry this isn't working... I dont know why... *huff*" Rob Lowe- 2016

Holy shit. I never realized that C Thomas Howell played Ponyboy and also is same person who played "The Reaper" in criminal minds. It's such a drastic contrast. Innocent Ponyboy to sick and twisted Reaper who loved making Hotch's life hell.

You cannot touch Matt Dillon for the role of Dallas. My kids are reading this classic in school and it has been such a treat to go back and see this.

Matt Dillon is still pretty hot, I mean for some reason I was so interested in the first season of Wayward Pines, that guy sure looks good in a suit. Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe also look great still.

“What’s your age range?” “Oh that’s a great question!” I’ve never seen anyone so enthusiastic about a simple 😂😂😂

this movie was cast so incredibly well, I physically cannot imagine ANYONE else playing different roles

I met C. Thomas Howell Recently I got an autograph! It was a really cool experience.

The cast of the Outsiders is possibly the most legendary collection of actors in one film. And who the hell wouldve known it at the time? Incredible!

"I guess I'll...I'll read Dallas" BOI IM DYING!!! OmG liKe YOu gOT ThE PaRT😄😂😂

OMFG I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT ROB DURING 6:29

"he was incredibly pretty." yes , yes he is 😊.

the sass in tommy’s eyes after the door slammed is killing me 😭

"Don't slam the door" *slams door* "sigh"

I feel you so hard for saying Rob Lowe is good looking three times

I'm so going for Johnny. he's cute, sweet, and shy. plus I love his voice how it's like all ordinary. I just love everything about him

I'm obsessed with this cast! It's so cute to see how young everyone was. They were probably so excited to be a part of it. Even from the auditions clips, I recognized a cast member from season 1 of the Facts of Life and Anthony Michael Hall. Such a good movie.

Awww how Tom Cruise hugs Tom is so cute at 5;29. awww

I can just say Matt Dillion, as he got older, is still hot... He aged well... the rest eeehh...

"don't slam the door" *slams the door*

Matt Dillon ❤️❤️❤️

Haha the director going on about his man crush on Rob near the end...can't say I blame him ;O

I wish I lived to see the days where ponyboy and Johnny were kids but now they’re old and I’m sad Roses are red Violets are blue I have a crush on ponyboy and Johnny and any other girl that whatched the outsiders does too

5:15 when Rob said “I’m sorry this isn’t working I don’t know why” I could practically feel the stress radiating from him and i felt bad.

"He was incredibly pretty"

“It was a fun day”- the director “it was the most gruesome thing ever”-the cast

What is so awesome is that Matt Dillon went to the same high school as i did. This was my favorite book and movie.

I read all the books as a young teen and I think The Outsiders was cast perfectly. Each actor embodied the spirit of their character. This is such an iconic movie. Everything about it is great.

I was smiling through this, i love the outsiders so much

First found out about the Outsiders in 8th grade when my English teacher forced us to read it and jot down notes about the characters and their eye colors. Although I hated taking the notes I really did enjoy the book and I was even more excited about watching the movie in class. Now thanks to my 8th grade ELA teacher I'm obsessed.

Man...the 80's raged.....they were so real, raw and right on. That decade, rocked.

Usually too much talent in a movie kills the movie. But not this one. This one was special.

Oh my gosh! Someone else who sees Rob as being pretty. I've always said that he is so pretty haha

y'all my eighth grade heart :,) this is actually still my favorite book & movie that go along w each other!!

His face when they slammed the door 💀💀💀

I had to read the book in school and then watched the movie in school and died when I saw PonyBoy 😩❤️

The casting is amazing! Hearing all the famous names that didn’t make the cut is legendary. I’m reading this with my class, as I do every year and they love it! I show clips from the movie as we go along bc it’s THE best book to movie ever. I still have students 20 years later finding me in Facebook and such telling me to Stay Gold and I’m honored to get to read this 7 times a day for over 20 years. It’s timeless and when kids tell me they hate to read, this is my go to book and the kids start reading and I know I created lifelong readers over the years, all thanks to SE Hinton.

It’s crazy seeing all these actors try out for the outsiders because now they are all very well known and they all moved on to big movies

Y’all can be crushing on Sodapop if you want....but Dallas Winston has my heart ❤️

What a talent he is (casting director), not just once but over and over. Such a massive impact on these fantastic films!

No one could play Dally like Matt but Tom Cruise's audition was pretty good

The casting was amazing.

aww c.thomas howell will forever hold a place in my heart

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Not a single living soul: Me: Ponyboy is so cute😍

The director was GENIUS!

"Prettt was the word for Rob" TRUUUUEEE

6:30 jump scared me then I started laughing😂

This movie is amazing! The scene where Ponyboy wakes up, after Johnny killed the social, and the camera spins from an upside down angle to upright... 🎥genius!

Aww, I didn't know Anthony M. Hall Auditioned! I think he would be a good "Ponyboy" maybe a tiny bit younger than he was in Weird Science.. But come on, Who can replace Tommy.. I'm glad he was in WS though, Great actor The roll fit him perfect (:

Thank you for this. The multitude of talent that was in this movie is epic!

i like how the notes for rob were “attractive... (more stuff), very good looking” they said it twice LMSSKDK

This kid at 2:55 looks like he's 3 I don't think he could play pony

They picked a awesome 👍😎😎 cast

Rob Lowe talks in detail about this in his autobiography. I recommend it.

This movie could NEVER be remade as good as it is now DEFINITELY an AMAZING MOVIE great actors too

The Outsiders was my fave book and I always had a picture in my head like a movie how it would turn out..........imagine my suprise when the movie came out that everything from casting to direction to editing was exactly how I saw it in my head when reading the book! This movie is my all time fave on my list.

My favourite film ever!😃

An incredible meeting of future superstars!

my favorite actor was johnny, he reminds me of myself a lot.

I love these historical videos. Seeing these young actors starting out... it's amazing.

When i watched this movie in school I was crushing on Dally

Oh my Dallas! I love him more than anything!

Perfect cast. Worth it if your obsessed like me is to hear Rob Lowes take on his audio book " stories I only tell my friends."

Did anyone else have a crush on Johnny Cade?

Growing up I always thought of myself as Dally but I was definitely Ponyboy lol 😂

I never knew Anthony Michael hall auditioned for it

I always think of actors that i cast in movies are going to be stars and be heard of again. He certainly nailed it with the Outsiders

aww the scene where tom hugs thomas is to cute

They all became stars. Love it

He interviewed Rob Lowe on January 13?! THATS MY BIRTHDAY!! This means something. I mean come on, Sodapop is a hunk of something 👌😉

I see no similarity in ponyboy and harry styles. Ponyboy us hot!

4:41 Ponyboy was like “really bitch-“

I can’t imagine anybody else playing these actors, they fit the part so well

Even the casting director knew how pretty Rob Lowe is 😂

I loved this movie! Patrick Swayze was awesome in this🙂

Anthony Michael Hall auditioned?!?!

Whoever put the cast together could see in to the future.Excellent movie!

6:30 why was that so funny to me😭
