The three movies he's most remembered for are products of their times that reflected youthful alienation against adults and the system. If you look closely at his acting, he's mimicking Brando. Brando was highly overrated and Dean more so. I wouldn't look forward to re-watching any film they made in their prime. They're outdated.
Even McQueen tried copying Dean in his early TV appearances - check out "The Defender" episode - and he was lousy too.
I guess tonight is my night to be cranky. I feel like one of those old guys sitting in the balcony on "The Muppett Show".
We deal in lead, friend.
