Perhaps its a breach of educational ethics for him to be involved with two college students, but heck, he's a student himself. Myers (Scott Rhodes) is a mere teaching assistant, and Amalia and Arcadio are two really hot, attractive women. Amalia (Natalie Karp) is pretty much out of control: she will steal from anyone, and the more daring the theft, the more likely she is to try it. She even steals lawn sculptures, fer cryin' out loud. Her habit of not paying her share when she eats out is pretty dismal, however. Arcadio (Carmen Nogales) is a sweeter girl, but Myers' Spanish isn't all that great, and she seems to speak very little English. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Teen rivalry in a small Southern town sets the stage for this dramatic interpretation of the novel by S.E. Hinton. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The Outsiders tells the story of the ongoing conflict between the Greasers and the Socs in rural Oklahoma. C. Thomas Howell stars as Ponyboy, the youngest of three orphaned boys who pal around with the local hoods known as the Greasers. When Ponyboy and his friend (Ralph Macchio) get into a deadly confrontation one night, the two go on the run from the cops, and they grow up quickly and soon realize the insignificance of their petty posturing. Matt Dillon stars as the tough-as-nails leader of their group and Patrick Swayze appears as Ponyboy's oldest brother. A host of other 1980s Brat Pack celebs fill out the cast. Dillon later appeared in another Coppola adaption of a Hinton book, Rumble Fish. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi
