Rebel Without A Cause (1955)



Nicholas Ray's melodramatic milestone into the lives of the modern teenager - neglected, confused and rebellious.  Rebel Without A Cause addressed the generation gap and deterioration of America's youth with incredible performances from the main cast, who each died tragically way before their time.  The film also catapulted James Dean to a cultural icon.
