"REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE" (1955. 111 min. PG-13) - James Dean brings his explosive presence to the screen in Nicholas Ray’s feverish journey through the turbulent minefield of alienated postwar American youth. Dean’s brooding bad boy - contemptuous of his middle-class parents - forms an “alternative family” with the fragile Natalie Wood and the neurotic rich kid Sal Mineo.

James Dean stars in a movie that shocked the United States with a performance that still electrifies the screen twenty-five years after his untimely death prior to the film's release. In this archetypal drama of teenage angst and rebellion, three high school students who should lead idyllic lives in their stable, comfortable suburban families explode with a violence and sexuality that their parents cannot understand. This film--which ripped the façade from the post-war American dream to expose the rage of the country's youth--resonates with an energy that has made it a modern classic and a powerful coming-of-age story.
