One night at a drive-in, Cherry befriends Ponyboy…which doesn’t go over well with Bob. On the wealthy side are the Socs (an abbreviation of Social): Bob, Randy and Cherry. Those from the wrong side of the tracks are the Greasers: The Curtis brothers-Darry, Sodapop and Ponyboy-and their friends Dally, Johnny, Two-bit and Steve. The movie follows a group of teens in Tulsa in the 1960s. To this day I still call Lowe “Sodapop.” Since The Outsiders came out, Lowe has had nine lives of a successful career through movie franchises and long-running TV series. We rewound and played the part where Rob Lowe walks out of the shower and almost drops his towel at least ten times, giggling and squealing the way only preteen girls can. But I have a distinct memory of watching the movie on a VCR at my seventh grade birthday party. I was probably too young to see it in the movie theater when it first came out (#strictparents). I don’t remember the first time I saw The Outsiders.
