7 Rebels Without A Cause

We give 'em something to rebel against...

Today's edition of Total Film's DVD Club - where we watch and Twitter about a classic movie with you invited to join in - is focusing on Rebel Without A Cause.

So we thought we'd take a look at some rebels without real reason - or a clue how to rebel and give them something to really get behind.

Take a gander then join us tonight at 8pm (GMT) for Twittering fun...


The Rebel: JD, Heathers (1989)
 
Without A Cause: No one is actually sure what JD (Christian Slater) is rebelling against, besides reality and conventional societal morals.
 
He’s basically a psycho – poisoning, shooting and ultimately attempting to blow up his classmates under the guise of helping Veronica (Winona Ryder) deal with the catty abuse of the popular, titular high school girl gang (her former bessie mates).

It doesn’t end well for JD, but Veronica gets some confidence out of the incident. So, yay?

Suggested Cause: If JD could have been stopped before, er, he blew himself to smithereens, perhaps his attention could have been directed towards launching a campaign to stop bullying?

Either that or we sure the US intelligence services would appreciate his creatively malign talents.

Next: Danny Zuko
