This is the film that made James Dean the icon that he is today. This film speaks to the troubled youth that transends throughout the generations. Along with Natalie Wood and and Dennis Hopper, this was one of the most talented casts you can ever have in a movie. This has truely stood the test of time. And as the younger generation will watch this movie, it will allow two very different genertations to connect in a way that was never possible before.

After claiming the number 60 spot on the original list, I expected “Rebel” to move even higher this time around. It is by far one of the great American films. Full of angst, romance, violence, family troubles, and understanding it is also one of the most real films ever created. Shockingly, it didn’t even make the list. What about this movie caused it to be shunned as one of the 100 greatest American films? It featured a wonderful script, amazing performers(especially James Dean in his seminal performance), and had more cultural impact than most movies ever will. Dean was able to solidify his talent and star power in only three movies and this is the one he will be most remembered for. “Rebel” not only influenced a generation I believe it awakened that generation. I was incredibly upset and dissapointed by it’s exclusion on the list. I only hope that in ten more years this error will be corrected. -Jessica
