Well, the pictures talk by themselves, but I want to remark that my favourite film of James Dean is "East of Eden" (1955 by Elia Kazan), based on the John Steinbeck's novel. The most shocking scene is no doubt the confrontation of Cal (James Dean) with his father Adam Trask, the way Cal is rejected is a prodigious moment in cinema: “You're bad, through and through, bad,” and Cal replies: "You're right. I am bad. I knew that for a long time... It's true", but my prefered part of the movie is the conversation James Dean has with Abra (Julie Harris) on the "Ferris wheel", when Abra confides to Cal that she thinks she isn't good enough for Aron. Their intimate conversation leads to a kiss, but then she pulls back immediately:
"I love Aron, I do, really I do" hurting Cal deep down.
Their previous conversations are really memorable too. Julie Harris gave me a slight impression to Jena Malone's Gretchen, a frail woman, not buxom at all, who is flawed but is still romantic.
