More gay people should know about this movie and watch it. Jim and Plato were originally scripted to kiss this is canon gay material and should be as big in the LGBT community as Dead Poets Society is. James Dean is swag.

Struck me as the quintessential teen drama, but then I remembered Romeo & Juliet and Pyramus & Thisbe. Still trying to understand the popular fixation with James Dean. Sure, he's pretty, and yes, I've seen all three of his movies, but I still haven't been impressed by his talent.

i've been wanting to watch this movie since La La Land and i had much fun with it. the planetarium scene with Mia and Sebastian is a lot more special now that i had seen where the reference is coming from. should had watch it sooner. "i got the bullets!!!!"

Despite this movie being the obvious classic as it is, I must admit the beginning of the movie was the high point of this film, as it started to stray away from the plot towards the end. I still love this movie, seeing it as the 50's film which was it's first to bring light on "teenage rebellion" rather than the "Goody-good" films about romance and love that was common in those days. Watching the film in that mindset made me appreciate this movie in a much better way.

I've been meaning to see this since I saw La La Land and I finally got around to it. This is a teen drama but man were teens a lot different in the 50s. Driving cars off the cliff in a game of chicken is no joke and they sure do fall in love fast. Anyway, James Dean is pretty great. As Ryan Gosling would say "I got the bullets!"
