　　The Outsiders (1983)

This weekend marks the release of Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppolas passion project and first film since 2011. Forty-one years ago, Coppola directed The Outsiders, the feature film adaptation of S.E. Hintons 1967 novel. In 1960s Oklahoma, teenager Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell) lives with his older brothers Darrel (Patrick Swayze) and Sodapop (Rob Lowe) after the death of their parents. The trio are members of a local gang called the Greasers.

After a brawl ends in the death of a rival gang member, Ponyboy and his fellow Greaser Johnny (Ralph Macchio), are forced into hiding. As the Greasers race to protect their friends, Ponyboy and Johnny contemplate their purpose and how they want to live the rest of their lives. Besides its coming-of-age premise, The Outsiders biggest takeaway is its all-star cast, with appearances by future stars like Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, and Emilio Estevez.

　　Cop Land (1997)

Before tackling franchise IP withLoganand Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,James Mangold wrote and directedCop Land, a gritty crime drama with a star-studded cast. The town of Garrison, New Jersey, is home to several New York City cops, led by Lt. Ray Donlan (Harvey Keitel). Because these cops live outside New York, they are virtually untouchable by the NYPDs internal affairs. These cops are also protected by their friend in Garrison, Sheriff Freddy Heflin (Sylvester Stallone).

After Donlans nephew, Superboy (Michael Rapaport), mistakenly kills an African American teen during a traffic stop, he fakes his nephews death to avoid prosecution. That doesnt sit well with internal affairs officer Moe Tilden (Robert De Niro), who coaxes Freddy into helping him gather evidence against Donlan and end the corruption. When its all said and done, Cop Landwill be Stallones best performance outside of the Rocky franchise.
