Warner Bros. 100 years - Celebrating Every Story
Celebrate 100 years of Warner Bros. with this essential 5-film collection, bringing together some of the greatest films from the Classic Hollywood era (1930s to 1960s). The collection includes films that transformed cinema forever, inspiring audiences and expanding imaginations across the world.

The collection is housed in an embossed and foiled slipcase, revealing a unique unfolding 10-disc digipak with a Warner Bros. timeline tracking the studio's early history.

The Wizard of Oz
When a nasty neighbour tries to have her dog put to sleep, Dorothy takes her dog Toto, to run away. A tornado appears and carries her to the magical land of Oz. Wishing to return, she begins to follow the yellow brick road to the city of Oz where a great wizard lives.

Citizen Kane
It expanded filmmaking like no other work and became the American Film Institute's choice as the all-time #1 movie. With all the dazzling technique comes a dazzlingly layered story: the mystery surrounding the last utterance – rosebud – of a dying magnate.

Casablanca
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman light up the screen in one of the most enduring romances in movie history. At his Moroccan nightclub, cynic Rick Blaine (Bogart) turns a blind eye to the misery of WWII until his former lover, Ilsa Lund (Bergman), walks through the door, forcing Rick to choose between a life with the woman he loves or becoming the hero she needs.

Singin' in the Rain
Silent movies are giving way to talking pictures – and a hoofer-turned-matinee idol (Gene Kelly) is caught in that bumpy transition, as are his buddy (Donald O'Connor), prospective ladylove (Debbie Reynolds) and shrewish co-star (Jean Hagen).

Rebel Without a Cause
In one of the most influential performances in movie history, James Dean plays the new kid in town
whose loneliness, frustration and anger mirrored those of postwar teens - and still reverberate today. Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo were Academy Award® nominees* for their achingly true performances.
