Favorite James Dean

[wired2max]

James Dean only had 3 starring roles in feature films. His most iconic and culturally resonating was Rebel Without a Cause, but what is your favorite?

To me, he showed his greatest chops as Cal in East of Eden. He showed to me in that film that he was truly ahead of his time.

East of Eden

[bankholdup]

Cal Trask in East of Eden, which I'm actually watching right now (so I wake up a few hours before class/work to squeeze in a movie...what of it?)

Although, my favorite scene of Dean's is the credits sequence of Rebel Without a Cause when he drunkenly toys with the wind-up monkey and tucks it in underneath the newspaper like a child in bed.
