I think the teen rebels of the fifties were rebelling against a crushing imperative to conform and the doomsday machine. It gave them a certain nobility> Whatever you may think of the sixties, it certainly put to sleep the crushing imperative to conform. I think the teens of today have a completely different landscape.
Poor guys, they just don't know WHAT to do.

Tweeking Dad is always fun.

I can see where they were coming from with this idea, even though I agree it is a bad title.

I used to think REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE was a great title. Now that I have teen sons of my own, and they are going through their own "rebel" stage, I think a better title would have been REBEL WITHOUT A CLUE.

It is somewhat embarrassing though, since I think it's so utterly stupid:

DENN SIE WISSEN NICHT WAS SIE TUN means 'For They Don't Know What They Are Doing' (As in 'Father Forgive Them, ...')

Now the guys in the movie probably have no clue WHY they do it, but they most certainly know WHAT they are doing!!!

If you haven't seen the poster, here's the direct link to the auction:
