rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author needtovent-com - Most film critics distinguish, more or less, between “commercial” and “personal” cinema.

Sun, 13 Mar 2005 18:37:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author walkermuff - What can you say about "Rebel Without a Cause" that hasn't already been said? It is one of (if not THE) best teen angst movie ever made.

Tue, 1 Jun 2004 18:32:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author three_ster - Way back in 1955, a little movie called Rebel Without a Cause hit mainstream America.

Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:24:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - While Rebel Without a Cause seems to be mostly famous for its list of young stars who met tragic ends (not just James Dean, but also Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo), the movie itself was, for me, a grand and expert melodrama, one of the best. The film is...

Thu, 27 Dec 2001 12:16:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author matthewn - I am amazed when people say "Kids Today". That statement was made by Julius Ceaser 3000 years ago! Human nature is human nature, whether it be 1955 or 1979 or 2001. This movie may show you the behavior problems of kids in the 1950's, but if you think...

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 18:44:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author acinom - ...when Rebel Without a Cause looks corny, over-done, and so filled to the brim with irrational teen angst that it's now meaningless to my mature collegiate mind.

At least, that's what I'd like to think, and not that this so-called...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mike.holmes - Tonight, I took a ride on a time machine. No, I wasn't hallucinating on any funny controlled substance nor did H.G. Wells have anything to do with the travel. My home

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 19:35:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mspixie - A truly classic movie is one that transcends time and the changes it brings. A classic continues to change people, really deeply and profoundly affect them, as much or even more so than any movie put out today. Rebel Without A Cause is indeed a truly...

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 20:14:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chinafrog - Like The Wild One, Rebel Without a Cause was a key film for teens of the mid 1950’s.

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 23:20:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chinafrog - Apart from the physical talents of the actor, Dean’s ability to expose the weak, vulnerable side of Jim drew me to sympathize with him and convinced me that teen angst existed in all time periods, not just my own.

One of the qualities I...

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 21:39:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Daisy1818 - From the very first time I saw Rebel Without A Cause, I was speechless. At the time I was 13, and very full of teenage angst. Since I was only early on in my teen years, and already I was feeling the pressures of emotional change, I knew that the years...

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 01:57:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mal1249 - I first saw REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE on TV back in the mid 60s when I was a teenager. The thing that impressed me most about it was that the styles and flavor of the movie were clearly Fifties, yet the emotional matter was something I could still relate to...

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 18:47:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hpeake - Rebel Without a Cause made quite a splash when it was released in 1955. Fat and happy in the postwar boom, American parents spent a lot of time patting themselves on the back for they way they were raising their kids. Then along comes a movie...

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 18:08:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author willbradbury - Rebel Without A Cause is the movie that made James Dean a star. It's also

the first movie that defined what it means to be cool. The overall tone of

the movie is melancholy. Jim(James Dean) doesn't fit in at school. His

parents just don't...

Thu, 28 Oct 1999 15:36:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author soap631300 - Rebel without a cause is a great movie. I had the chance to see it recently. It made me yearn for the tragic loss of the great actor James Dean.
