Macy's Thanksgiving Parade - there's a musical of "The Outsiders"???

Why? That was one of the dumbest movies I’ve ever seen.

Al Roker looks like old mule train prospector.

The brat pack was a phenomenal group who brought the best in the arts. Everyone knows about The Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller, pretty in pink, and so many others. Now it’s all action movies.

We watched it 2 years ago. My wife was right in the focus age group. My daughter had read the book. I’d never seen it and had to hold my lip. Finally the Stevie Wonder song came on and I left the room.

I still am owed an explanation of Emilio sitting in the middle of the floor eating a giant slice of chocolate cake and sipping on a long neck.

The other movies you mentioned were great.
