				"You can't win. You know 
				that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still 
				be where you were before, 
				at the bottom. And we'll still be the 
				lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. 
				Greasers will still be Greasers and Soces will still be Soces. It 
				doesn't matter." –

				Why watch this? 
				It's a real treat to see all that young talent in one film. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Ponyboy Curtis is a sensitive teenager and member of the 
				working-class gang called Greasers, who navigates the tumultuous 
				rivalry with the affluent Soces in 1960s Oklahoma. A violent 
				confrontation between the gangs leads to a tragic incident that 
				forces Ponyboy and his friend Johnny into hiding. Their 
				experiences and the consequences of the gangs' conflict 
				ultimately challenge their bonds and reshape their lives. Dad's Preview: 
				This is the movie that coined the term "Brat Pack". Its teen 
				cast would all go on to major stardom. 'Greasers' are the tough 
				gang, usually out causing 
				trouble. However one gang member, Pony Boy, aspires for better 
				things. The Greasers despise the "Soces" (short for 
				Socialites, aka the rich kids). 
				There's lots of back and forth, that builds to a brutal gang 
				fight. This film is dark, the Greasers without futures, 
				yet Pony Boy, and this dreams, provide a little light.
