Great Christmas Gifts for James Dean Fans
Here are 5 great gifts for the James Dean fans on your Christmas list:
Great Gift for James Dean Fans #1: The Complete James Dean Collection on DVD
This is an absolute must for diehard James Dean fans. This collection features all three of Dean's films in one set--East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant. The most well known of the three films is by far Rebel Without a Cause. The 1955 film remains to this day the quintessential teen movie. Starring James Dean, Natalie Wood, and Sal Mineo, every James Dean fan must own a copy of this movie.
Great Gift for James Dean Fans #2: Classic Television Collection DVD
Many people associate James Dean with being a movie star, but Dean performed in many television shows before he broke into films. The James Dean Classic Television Collection DVD features Dean in three different television performances. This DVD is a unique gift for any James Dean fan.
Great Gift Idea for James Dean Fans #3: The Unabridged James Dean
Written by Randall Riese, The Unabridged James Dean: His Life and Legacy from A-Z is a great reference guide for the James Dean fan. Riese does a great job of compiling even the most obscure facts of Dean's life for the reader, and as a James Dean fan myself, I highly recommend this book. Although this book was published in 1994, you can still find a copy or two on Amazon.
Great Gift for James Dean Fans #4:The James Dean Story
This documentary was made by acclaimed director Robert Altman shortly after James Dean died. The film chronicles Dean's brief life and career and features interviews with family and friends. This DVD is a must have for any James Dean fan.
Great Gift for James Dean Fans #5: James Dean Collectables and Knickknacks
From coffee cups to key chains, there are a million and one products on the market bearing the likeness of James Dean. At www.jamesdean.com, you can find all of the odds and ends that the James Dean fan on your Christmas list will love including purses with Dean's picture emblazoned on them and a replica of the red jacket worn by Dean in Rebel Without a Cause.
