I think my total is only 19. But, when it comes to movies I will rewatch (my criteria for actually buying a movie) I am a real genre girl. (I know you are all surprised.) Many of the movies I own are not even listed here.

Speaking of movies, there has finally been a new release of The Outsiders which restores some of the missing scenes. (I happened upon it in Borders!) I only read the book about a bazillion times and was very disappointed that many of the scenes from the book were cut from the film. (This was the beginning of my never-read-a-book-before-seeing-a-movie-if-at-all-possible stance.) It also has a new soundtrack and comments from the cast, who I didn't realise were as young as they were when this movie was filmed.  I don't know why as I was pretty young at the time. Anyway, it was interesting to see who auditioned for parts in this movie. Adam Baldwin and Anthony Michael Hall were two I recognized!

I remember reading The Outsiders in grade school and really liking it. I don't remember much about it anymore though. I was wondering if you knew that AMH had tried out for that movie. Would have been interesting to see him there as the characters were quite different from the pieces he did star in.

Personally I don't have a set rule about books versus movies. I do get irate however when a perfectly dramatic story is twisted for the sake of film. Maybe I should be more careful about reading and watching LOL!

Well, I didn't know until that point (about AMH). Of course, he is a better actor than C. Thomas Howell (who did a good job in the movie but where is he now?) but I could never have seen him in the role of Ponyboy. Not as he looked then. Of course, now is a different story but, alas, he is too old for the part. ;-)
