I'm with many of you on many of the aforementioned selections. But when I'm channel surfing at 1 a.m., getting ready to call it a night, the one movie that will absolutely make me stay up 'til 3 a.m. if need be:
The Outsiders.
Great book. Great movie. I can never stop watching it whenever I stumble onto it, and I'm always pissed if it's already halfway over and I had the chance to see it in full.

SHIT!!! How could I forget that?

Could not agree with you more. That's one of those movies that I know will depress me--the sense of doom from the morning of the rumble onward is almost overwhelming--but I can't NOT watch it.

Combined, I've probably read and seen The Outsiders 100 times. I got a pretty beaten copy of the book for a dime at a tag sale when I was like 10 and wore it out. And I remember the unspeakable excitement when I read in my cable guide (!!) that it was coming to HBO in the spring of 1984. Premiered on a Saturday night and I told my dad, who rules the TV with an iron fist, a month in advance I wanted to watch it. I remember getting in trouble with my mom when I said how pissed I would have been if it was on Cinemax instead. "Pissed" was a big no-no when I was 10.

You wanted so bad to be Pony Boy when you were growing up, didn't you, dickhead?

When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Sportsjournalists.com and making another age crack at spnited.

When BYH finishes having sex with his wife, and she looks at him with that familiar mix of surprise and disappointment, he just puts his index finger on her lips and whispers, "Nothing gold can stay."
