Best James Dean movie?

[mister Lennon]

Only three movies, only three movies and he is a cinema mith. Probably because his impact in the actors studio era(brando, clifft, steiger, malden,) and because he died with only 24 years old. He was a great actor with a weird ability to transmit his emotions in a way that nobody did see before except for Brando and Clifft. But from those three movies, what is your favourite one or the one that you consider the best one?.

East of Eden: Great movie based in John Steinbeck book and probably dean's best peformance.

Rebel Wihout a cause: with this movie, Jimmy was a tennagers icon , a symbol of an enterly generation.

Giant: his last movie and the one whith him in a supporting role, being Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson the main character, but Dean was again a scene steeler.


I doubt between east of eden and giant, probably east of eden is overall better for a hair and dean's best performance.

I haven't seen the other two, but I can relate to a lot of the sentiments expressed in the movie.
