James Dean (Feb 8, 1931 - Sept 30, 1955) #1 - The Original Rebel Without A Cause
I hope there are other Dean fans out there to talk about the man, the legend, the films...everything!
His life was short, but in his brief time on earth James Dean manage to tap to the youth of the 1950's in a way that nobody else has been able to replicate. I'm seeing two Dean movies and will be looking for "Giant" before school starts!

Woohoo another James Dean fan! I started one a long time ago and people came for a while and then just stopped coming and the thread dissapeared.
I am a huge James Dean fan and have been since I saw that TNT movie with James Franco as Dean on tv. It's really good and inspired me to know more about Dean. I've seen all 3 of his main movies. I love East of Eden the best but now that I want to buy it, I can't find it anywhere! [img]smilies/rose.gif[/img] audrey [img]smilies/rose.gif[/img] __________________

I [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] James Dean! I've seen Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. I have yet to see East of Eden. I find him fascinating- I'm intrigued by any scandal or mystery, and his story is amazing. It's so sad what happened to him...but it's all a part of his legend. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks for starting the thread. [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img] __________________

I'm a big James Dean-Fan. I saw "Rebel Without a Cause" and I was so excited about his acting. He was a very impressive and great actor.
And I will never forget how sexy he was [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]     __________________

It's great that there's a thread to the amazing actor that is James Dean! Words can't express what I think of him, he was definately a one of a kind person and actor.
I actually spend Christmas lunch watching a DVD on Jimmy: "Hollywood Classics". Very good stuff. My fave James movie was "Rebel". __________________

Yay people responded! I wasn't sure if I was going to get a response, but I am happy that people did! [img]smilies/blinkie.gif[/img]
I didn't see the last half of "Giant" because I ran out of time, (I went to see The Two Towers for a second time), then the next day I had to leave Vancouver to go back to school on Vancouver Island! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Angeli_Dean - Let's make sure this thread doesn't dissapeare! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I saw that movie with Franco, and it was good! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Did you look on Amazon, or ebay for a copy of East of Eden? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] heaths girl - I totally agree! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] angelfallon - Thanks for the pics! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Are you still obbessed with him? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] *Shannon* - You are welcome for starting this thread! [img]smilies/daisy.gif[/img] I am also intrigued by scandal and mystery, and while it is awful what happened to him you are totally right when you say that it is part of his mystery! Someone said that perhaps the best career move he ever did was die! What do you think? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] East of Eden is great! I only saw the first part of Giant, but so far I like EE better! A must of a Dean fan! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] *MaJendra* - Thanks for the pics! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Peach Melba - Are you looking for a pic of his agent? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] Brekkon - He was definatly an awesome actor! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] What's on this "Hollywood Classics" tape? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] __________________

Here's what's on the Hollywood Classics DVD:
DVD 1: "Hill Number One" "I Am A Fool" DVD 2: "The James Dean Story" "The Bells Of Cockaigne" I grabbed it a couple of months ago for only 30 bucks, so I was pleased about that. I watched "James Dean" (the movie with James Franco]) about a month ago when it aired here, and at first I was a bit sceptical to whether James F could pull it off, but by the end of the movie he won me over. Glad to see many people still [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] and admire this amazing man! __________________

Hey Brekkon ! [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img]
It's great to see a Dean fan here on FF! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Is that "Hollywood Classics" DVD all about James Dean? Does every program have something about him on it? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] I saw James F in "Spider-Man" before I saw him in the James Dean movie, plus I had read an article about him that asks "James Dean reincarnated?" So I wasn't worried about whether or not he would be able to pull off the role! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________

James and Pier are my favorite couple too, hence my name angeli_dean. [img]smilies/in_love.gif[/img]
yeah Amazon.com doesn't have East of Eden right now and the used copies are very expensive. I'll just wait a little longer to see if I can get a better price first. I adore the movie... I went to this 50's inspired store (heaven for me!) and got a license plate with a pic of Dean that says 4 EVR COOL on it. and my sisters got me a clock shaped like a guitar with a picture of him on it for christmas. I love so many things from the 50's! James, Marilyn, I love Lucy ect. Since the James Dean story on TNT, i've started to follow James Franco's carrer because I just know he's really gonna just get more and more popular as time goes on. A lot of critics compare him to James Dean. There are simularities obviously, but i don't think it's fair for them to expect such ability as Dean had in every role Franco does.

Audrey - I am totally slow! I didn't get your screen name until now! [img]smilies/embarrassment.gif[/img] But now that I do, I totally think its [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I hope you are able to find a good copy of "East of Eden" that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] In what I've seen him in, Franco does appear to be a good actor, but you are totally right, it isn't fair to expect him to be as good as Dean with every role that he takes! Dean is in a catagory all his own- he had the gift of acting, and was an amazing actor! Franco definatly has the potential to be as good as Dean, and I hope he acheieves it! He did a great job playing Dean and was good in "Spider-Man"! Franco will get bigger as time goes on, especially in the way he chooses his projects (he said something about wanting projects with substance)! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The 50's were cool, lots of interesting things pop culture wise emergered from that period! Sounds like you were in heaven on X-Mas day!

James Franco and James Dean
  I think James Franco did a really good job in his protrayal of James Dean so I think it's understandable that people are always comparing them. Will he become a legend like James Dean, I dunno but that leads me to an interesting question. Do you guys think James Dean would have still been the legend he is today had he not died so young??? Pictures from my favorite James Dean Movie Rebel Without A Cause co-starring my favorite classic movie actress Natalie Wood !:     [ 01-21-2003: Message edited angelfallon ] __________________
