Hello, and welcome to the boards.
Browse around if the urge strikes...
Now, to your question:
Without a little more specific information as to what film era [50's, 60's, etc.] or other details about what your particular tastes are - apart from your knowledge of "Rebel Without a Cause" - it is difficult to recommend works that you might be willing to accept under the umbrella of teenage rebel films.
That said, I will mention these as possible titles to enjoy:
Blackboard Jungle
East of Eden
The Wild One
You could branch out from these, and go into the world of biker films, like The Wild Angels, or go into musicals, like West Side Story. The possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Let us know a little bit more of what you are or are not looking for, and we may be able to make some more suggestions.

I have had a rough time this week, to say the least...
I have just been to the library, and am hoping "Sullivan's Travels" will keep the black dog away.
I'll let you know how things work out...

Life is.
An incomplete sentence.

Please bear with me while I reverse the concept, just for fun.
I was reading an on-line publication this morning, "The Film Noir Sentinel", that I receive regularly, and highly recommend to all film aficionados [guess how long I have been waiting to slip that word into a post...]. Anyway, in one of their regular columns, the columnist was talking about an upcoming film by Susan Sarandon and put forward this recasting of a classic film with modern actors:
Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
The columnist seemed to be saying that this would be a bad thing. I am not so sure...I think it would be fun to watch those two go tooth and nail.
Thank you for allowing me this slight distraction from the topic at hand.

You know something? I almost understand this...

> I found also that many characters
> had decent manners and had a social respect for one
> another.
This is a comment that I agree with wholeheartedly.
Welcome, kevshrop.
I find that the motives of movie characters are more transparent than in real life, and that movies provide me with some relief from trying to decipher the ulterior motives and complicated social workings of present-day life and people.

No, I am [a proud but modest] Canadian.
...and one of my guilty pleasures is watching all my friends from the SUPERMARIONATION era [at the moment, I am watching "Supercar" Vol. 4 on DVD], but have not yet seen any of "Joe 90", unfortunately.
The "Stingray" theme music still, as I head into my sixth decade of life, gets my heart racing.
Other fans should check out the SUPERMARIONATION website, and other links, for more treasures.
If I ever get a cellular phone, I want to get either "5...4...3...2...1!" or the "Stingray" theme music as a ringtone.

SUPERCAR!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmm...very interesting.
Hedy as "Laura", instead of Gene Tierney...
That would make for an interesting dynamic between Hedy and Dana Andrews, for sure.

Oh goodness snakes alive!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hip-mo-tized!!!!!!!!!!

Well, gwtw...
Can I offer some assistance here? [i think you are somewhat confused...]
Bergman Grant Hitchcock = Notorious
but...
Bergman Grant title starting with "I" = Indiscreet
Now, you can make a guess based on that...

Inglis, how do I compete with such youthful enthusiasm?
Good for you, SusannO!
You have successfully answered your first [and not your last, I'm sure...] trivia question! You receive the "smug self-satisfaction" award, with clusters, ruffles and flourishes.
It is from "Dark Victory" and once I got past my Seinfeld mental block, the answer came to me as well.
Now, you must devise your first trivia question.
Let your imagination take flight...take your time and have some fun...
-
Well, yes, you're [and not your] TOOMANYNOTES, which is certainly better than NOTENOUGHNOTES or TOOFEWNOTES, and grammatically correct, unlike TOOMUCHNOTES...so, no need to have a frown.

Pardon me, dpd...
Who is the woman in the white blouse?
She is striking.

Two additions to a fascinating list:
Van Heflin as "Jeff Hartnett" in Johnny Eager [Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor in 1942]
Robert Taylor as "Det. Sgt. Chris Kelvaney" in Rogue Cop

I don't believe that is correct, but that is for our host to determine.
My guess, after doing some Fudd-related research, is Joe "Wanna buy a duck?" Penner.
-
...and you're TOOMANYNOTES... ;-)
-
The "Elmer Fudd" question above by our esteemed host, of course:
Who voiced Elmer in one Daffy Duck short, and who was the inspiration for the drawing?
-
Very cool, nyoka1!
Thanks for that, and three cheers for "Bad Bob"!
Some good film recommendations in that story: "The High Wall", "Undercurrent", etc. "The Bribe" aired on TCM recently, and was well worth seeing.
-
Nice to see another noir enthusiast in our midst, stoneyburke.
See if you can help curiouser with the name of the movie he/she is thinking of in "Info' Please"...
I saw the film recently, and the name of it is just out of reach.
[exits, to prepare to slap my forehead briskly when I hear the answer]

Yes, it can be a problem with us univer-silly etch-u-mac-a-ted in-a-vi-duels.
know any good movies??
in Information, Please!

Greetings, and welcome to our little movie playground, tarabeth.
You have asked us quite a question here, with many films from which to choose. This is by no means an exhaustive list [although it was a bit exhausting, but pleasurable, to compile]; in any case, it should get you started in the right direction. I have seen most of these - in fact, I should see most of these a second or third time when I have the opportunity:
[takes deep breath before proceeding]
Above Suspicion [1943]
Across the Pacific [1942]
All Through the Night [1942]
Background to Danger ['43]
Berlin Express ['48]
Casablanca
The Counterfeit Traitor ['62]
Dark Journey ['37]
The Fallen Sparrow ['43]
Five Graves to Cairo ['43]
Five Fingers ['52]
The House on 92nd Street ['45]
The Adventuress ['46] British title: I See a Dark Stranger
Joan of Paris ['42]
Journey into Fear ['42]
The Man Who Never Was ['56]
The Mask of Dimitrios ['44]
Ministry of Fear ['44]
Night Train to Munich ['40]
O.S.S. ['46]
The Third Man ['49]
13 Rue Madeleine ['46]
The 39 Steps ['35]
Watch on the Rhine ['43]
I am sure others will add some suggestions for you.
Browse and enjoy.
