It really doesn't play on tv all that much. I'd also be willing to bet that most people 35 and under have never even seen it.

And what does how many times a movie airs on tv have to do with it's quality?

I meant "over-played" as in built-up. He had died before it was released.

I think that angle hypes the film or made it something special historically...his last film and all that.

It should be one of my favorite films (and I've seen it a lot) because of Natalie Wood - but, it's just not that great IMO. Good performances by all though. Wood, Dean, Sal.

I saw it at The Robinson Film Center a couple of years ago. I've never been more disappointed in a movie in all my life. It's a cultural icon, and for the life of me I don't know why. I thought it was terrible, both writing and acting. I'm led to think it's the writing, because I enjoyed Dean in Giant. none of the actions-NONE-of them made any sense to me. it's like the characters did and said things just because it was on the paper. It was never "B happened because of A", it was "A happened and then B happened". yeah, i mad,
