When boys do the James Dean wink.

I was thirteen when I saw Rebel Without a Cause for the first time. From the opening scene of Jim with the toy chimp on the sidewalk, I knew I would love this film. At the time I was young and sad, unloveable and an outcast and it was easy to identify with Jim and Plato and even Judy. But my all time favourite scene was when Jim drops Judy off at home and he returns her mirror compact and gives that subtle wink goodbye. So fuckin' sexy.

  1. That movie sucked!!!

    Yeah, just kidding. I don't know what my favourite scene would be but it might be the planetarium scene; anything with a planetarium has got to be great! Aww but a young Dennis Hopper is in that one. :(
