Next year is the 50th Anniversary of Rebel Without a Cause (as well as East of Eden). Warner has been doing quite well with their releases (the 2-disc editions, signature collections, noir boxset and the coming gangster set come to mind) and you would think that this would be the perfect time to release Rebel Without a Cause. Up to know it has only been given no good treatment on DVD and exits only in an early format release.

I heard that East of Eden would be released next year as a SE. Any word on Rebel?

Rebel is rumored to have an SE next year.

Well, here's hoping.

THE REBEL that's out now is good enough.

Hardly when compared to Warner's other recent releases. For example, the transfer of Reble is not nearly as spectacular as Gone With The Wind. Although I would like to see a commentary and some better extras the film is paramount here and I would love to see it cleaned up slightly. Yet, there are many extras that could be placed on a 2-disc set and this film has a current sub-par release for how amazing it is.

You can't be serious

Anyway I'm hoping for this one next year

Both of these deserve that WB magic - two very special films that need all the SE the studio can muster!

...You're tearing me APART!!!!
