    If you're not a James Dean fan don't bother. Melodramatic and contrived.

    Ok, Get a slight theme here? I loves james Dean. I know James Franco picked up some award for this, whatever it was, he certainly deserved it. It's brilliant, partially due to the resemblence between dean and franco.

    A poignant look at the life of a legend. Impressing early effort by Altman.
