Requests
Hey guys,
Feel free to write in the comments below which movies you would like me to upload.
Remember I can’t just upload any movie, there’s a number of “rules” that need to be followed in order to “green light” a film, the rules are the following:
- No Region 1 DVD/Bluray is available to purchase online.
- For British films make sure the film isn’t available on Region 2 DVD otherwise I cannot upload it.
- The movie was released before the year 2004.
- For foreign films I will only upload movies that are not available on Region 1 DVDs, if the movie was released on DVD/Bluray but only in country of origin make sure it’s region locked, some studios release them region-free and include English subtitles, in those cases I will not upload them.
- Lastly, make sure the film you want isn’t already available on Youtube (or if it is it has to be very low quality), it takes me a lot of time to upload movie film and to see that it’s already up on YT it ends up being a waste of time so please check before requesting it here. Also, check out the WANTED films list, if the movie you want is listed there it means I don’t have it.
1 request every 2 months each person (updated). Actually, you can post 2 requests if you want but the second one will be used only as a backup in case I don’t have the first one. Please respect this, post only once after every 2 months and DON’T post more than 2 films.
In order to keep this section as clean as possible and easy to navigate I will delete the comments after your requests have been uploaded, for those films that I don’t have I will add them to the WANTED list.
Thanks.
Jon.

sven klangs combo 1976
Thank you for your hard work. Amazing!
There are several films with the legendary Jean Gabin which still have never been subtitled into English… All of these titles are available on DVD (or VHS) in Europe, but do not have English subtitles:
“Gloria” (1933)
“Varietes” (1935)
“Le Messager” (1938)
“Pour l’amour du ciel” (1950)
“Tonnerre de Dieu” — there are DVD copies circulating, but only in very bad phonetic English (1965)
“Pour un soir..” (1931)
“Pour l’amour du ciel” (1950)
“La Sang a la Tete” (1952)– very bad phonetic English-subtitled version available online
“Coeurs joyeux” (1933) — I actually own a very good copy of this on a CD-ROM (but it doesn’t have any English subtitles)
“La Cas du docteur Laurent” (1956)
“Drapeau noir flotte sur la marmite” (1971)
“Paris-Beguin” (1931)
“Chacun sa Chance” (1930)
“Verdict” (1974) — Jean Gabin and Sophia Loren.
Thank you!
Maybe there are some French-speaking rarefilmm fans who can help to subtitle some of them? (( can dare to dream!)
For subtitles I find the best site is:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/ followed by https://subscene.com
If you can’t find subs in English (or your desired language) or you need to
resync, adjust or otherwise modify them, I use very good freeware:
http://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit
It will do automatic translations using Google which can range from quite good
to somewhat comical, but mostly you get the idea. To English, I find transations
from Portuguese, Spanish and Italian to be quite good. From Romanian not bad,
from French not so good (I think French is much more idiomatic). From Germanic
and Scandanavian not bad. In any case, you may not get the subtleties of the
original, but you will understand what’s going on.
If you are really desparate, there is a Python script which uses speech to text
libraries to create a subtitle file directly from the film, then uses
translation libraries (using Google) to translate them. (this part doesn’t work unless you register for a Google API key, so I use subtitleedit to do the translation as they recommend in the instructions below)
I’ve tried it and the results are reasonable. It drops some of the dialogue but it does handle a good part of it and will give you an idea of what’s going on. Sometimes the results are pretty good and other times not so much. But it is quick (about 5m) and easy, so give it a try. If the results stink you are no worse off.

Thanks.
Greetings. Back in the late 1970’s I saw this Brazilian Film in a theater in Mill Valley. The plot was that some evil developer was trying to buy all the real estate in this community to redevelop.The community revolted against this plan. I think boulders were rolled down the hill at cars? After they won the people partied; dancing in the streets. Any excuse, these people partied. After seeing this film, our friends and I would say, Let’s Bahia or party. Does anyone know the name of this masterpiece? or where I can find it with English subtitles?
For some reason I’ve retained the memory of a very positive review of a film called, (I think,) “Barnardo of the Mountains”, released sometime mid 1990’s. All I remember is that it was a partisan war drama so I’m guessing could be from Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, etc.. Haven’t been able to find mention anywhere. Also just to reiterrate a request for “Les noces de papier” (The Paper Wedding) 1989 made for television Canadian film directed by Michel Brault with Genevieve Bujold. Thanks for all the wonderful work. Cheers.
A friend of mine would like to see any of the following:
Forbidden Paradise (1924) english intertitles?
Ghosts 1915
The Stolen Voice 1915
Silk and Saddles 1929 Marion Nixon
The Shining Adventure 1925
Savages of the sea 1925
Valley of Hate 1924
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine 1916 demille
Hi, Jon.
My God! Thank you, thank you Jon! You found “Antoine et Sebastian”! I do not believe it yet! What a sensational Christmas present! Very grateful!
As for the movie “Sarah”, you can post without subtitles, because for me it’s great!
You made my day! Thank you. And again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hugs,
Anne.
P.S. Continue with this amazing site!

So, since my back-up choice has been found by Vlad, how about my new back-up choice being Zuckerbaby starring Marianne Sagebrecht with English subs?
Hi Gabrielle. Zuckerbaby (1985) is on YT w/ eng subs, but it is cut up into 7 parts. If that’s suitable, here’s part 1 – https://youtu.be/GLunqAVXkSI
If you’d prefer the film undivided, just let Jon know.
I know about the 7 parts, but I was hoping for it undivided. Thanks, though!
Hi,
There are two Taiwanese films I’m dying to see.

Thank you very much for this website!
Thanks for the hard work so far. My request:

Hello Jon. I may be asking about a movie you are working on, since you have mentioned it in the past—Marie-Louise (1944 or ‘45). I think it is the first foreign-language movie to win an Oscar in any category (original screenplay). No particular hurry, just wondered if it was still on the way. Nick Jason
Hello, I would like to request Mervyn LeRoy’s Moment to Moment, from 1965. Thank you!
Moment to Moment – https://ok.ru/video/1410097285774
I saw you uploaded Codine (1963)! Thank you! Really appreciate you still uploading it even though it was a very old request.
If you’re still uploading films, then my next request would be Atraco a las tres (1962) by José María Forqué. Backup would be El arreglo (1983) by Fernando Ayala.
Thanks again!
Thanks for requesting CODINE, I really liked it, not knowing anything about it besides its being directed by the great collaborator on early Resnais films!
Fantastic! Thanks, Jon!
Looking for Dilemma of Two Angels (1948)
Alternative request: The Curtain Rises (1938)
Hi Jon,
I’ve been searching for this Movie for over 30 years:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0239479/
This Title aired frequently on a UHF station, in the Metro Detroit area, during the early/mid 80s. During a time-frame before my parents bought their first VCR. So unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to tape it on VHS.
It’s supposedly available on DVD in Japan. But, I’m not sure if that edition was dubbed into an Asian language, or if it has subtitles (of any language).
I’m looking for the original German Language Print: “Haschen in der Grube” (1969) and/or the Dubbed into English Version released in U. S. theatres under the title: “Run, Rabbit, Run” (circa 1973). Please don’t confuse what I’m looking for with an unrelated American Film entitled: “Rabbit Run” (1970), starring James Caan. I’m NOT searching for the latter.
A Still from “my” Movie:
https://www.google.ca/search?q=run+rabbit+run+1969&safe=active&client=safari&hl=en-ca&prmd=visn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUttb3tfLgAhWFy4MKHYfpAKgQ_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=375&bih=549#imgrc=kExGhXG29_lRhM
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Steven Byczek.
Hello, Jon.
Happy New Year and I hope you have managed to recover from the problems of uploading the films.
Please, could you tell me how long, you could put on the site the movie “Sarah (1983)”, which I asked for last year? I look forward to watching this movie. Once again, thank you very much for having achieved “Antoine et Sebastian”. It was a wonderful Christmas gift!
Hugs and continue with this wonderful website!
Still desperately and unsuccessfully looking for THE CHRISTMAS TREE (1969) starring William Holden and Virna Lisi, directed by Terence Young.
Also, DIRTY WEEKEND aka MORDI E FUGGI (1973) starring Oliver Reed. Can’t seem to locate it anywhere either in English, or with English subs.
Hi Jon,
I have two films which I would like to have with subtitles if you can obtain them. I have both but without subtitles and I can provide you with the films, if necessary.
Proshchaniye s Peterburgom(Farewell to St Petersburg) 1972 by Yan Frid. A Soviet film about Johan Strauss made the same year as the US version of Strauss The Great Waltz.
Le pays sans étoiles 1946 by George Lacombe. This is an early film with Gérard Philipe but surprisingly no subtitles available as far as I know
Hi Jon! You’ve been posting a lot of great stuff lately. Any chance you have the 1991 TV movie Daughters of Privilege? Thank you!
Hi, John, would love to see these Academy Award winning shorts:
The Dollar Bottom – 1981 British short film directed by Roger Christian. It won an Oscar at the 53rd Academy Awards in 1981 for Best Short Subject.
Violet – 1981 short film directed by Shelley Levinson and starring Didi Conn. It won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film in 1982.
Looking for 2 Rasputin movies from France (in English-friendly versions): LA TRAGEDIE IMPERIALE (Marcel L’Herbier, 1938; with Harry Baur) & RASPOUTINE (1954; with Pierre Brasseur). Thanks in advance.

Since my March request has been added to the Wanted list, I’ll proceed with my April requests:
Dreamspeaker (TV movie from 1976)
Swiss Family Robinson (TV movie from 1958)
Les Miserable 1925 all 7 hours?
Man of the People TV show with James Garner
Merci mille!
Deadly Circuit is on YT (and other places) and subtitles can be found if you download the film.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! Below is a film I’ve been seeking for a long time;
Port Chicago Mutiny: A National Tragedy (1990)
VHS tapes are still indexed on WorldCat, but I can’t find a digital copy anywhere.
Babette Goes to War 1959
Alternative
Mam’selle Striptease 1956
On youtube but no Eng subs. Thank you.
Always been hoping to see a version with English subtitles of Tænk på et tal (1969) (AKA Think Of A Number) – Danish film with Bibi Andersson (RIP) that was taken from the same source as Daryl Duke’s The Silent Partner.
Thanks for all the amazing work you do here!
Hi
Firstly thanks for the site!
My two MOST WANTED are
ANGELS OF DARKNESS/DONNE PROIBITE from around 1954 with Linda Darnell, Giuliuetta Masina, Valentina Cortese and Anthony Quinn – about prostitutes whose brothel closes down.
THE NAKED BRIGADE from 1964 or 65 – Shirley Eaton as a bikini clad, machine gun toting partisan taking on the Nazi menace in World War two – and Amen to that!
On the basis of this description I’m happy to second the vote for The Naked Brigade 👍
Been trying to find the following TV pilot since the 1990s — some of the last work of Graham Chapman AND Hal Ashby: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake's_Journey
Don Quixote 1957 Soviet Union. Searching for the version that was dubbed into English. It used to be available from Corinth on VHS 30 years ago, but they seem disinterested and do not respond to my RFI.
The dvd is available in England and on amazon.co.uk Mr Bongo Films released it. It is not very expensive but you will need a multi-region player though.
Ikonostasat / The Icon Stand / The Altarpiece Maker (1969)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0171396/
You’d impress me greatly if you can find this one.
I withdraw this request and replace it with this one:
Gza shinisaken (1981) “The Way Home”
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192482/
What a treasure trove! How about the Axel Corti trilogy—Santa Fe, God Does Not Believe in Us Anymore, Welcome in Berlin? Great movies that are superbly humanist and compassionate. About the Jewish experience during and after WW II. Any chance? Allen
The Dollar Bottom (1981) short film, winner of the Academy Award for best live action short.
Your site just enabled me to see one of the only two Academy Award winning films from my lifetime that I had not yet seen, and The Dollar Bottom is now the only one left. If you could find it, I would be overjoyed!
Rick – If you ever get to London, you can make an appointment at the British Film Institute and for a reasonable fee, you can sit down at a Moviola and they’ll run a 16mm print of THE DOLLAR BOTTOM for you. That’s how I saw it last fall, along with a VHS copy of the incredibly rare nominee, THREE RUSSIAN GIRLS.
I’m loving your website! I was only introduced to it 2 months ago and have not stop picking out movies to watch!
My request is a short film that Dyan Cannon written and directed. The film was released in 1976 and was titled NUMBER ONE. If there is any chance you ever come across a copy, could you please post it on your magnificent site.
Thank you very much.
Tom McC

Whoa Nelly, that’s a lot of requests! Remember, Jon asks that people limit themselves to one request plus one alternative while he catches up on old requests.
Stage on Screen: The Women (2002)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329638/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1
This is an excellent production of the original version of the Clair Booth Luce play.
There was a DVD offered by PBS in the early 2000’s but that is long OOP. This was also on YT, cut up into 10 parts with terrible video and even worse, unsynchronized audio, but even that is gone.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Hello, My one and only request is Lodge Kerrigan’s Claire Dolan (1998). DVD is out of print and seems unavailable elsewhere. Been on my watchlist for so long. Thanks!
Believe it or not, The Unknown Man of Shandigor just showed up on Ok.Ru!:
https://ok.ru/video/232285145713
And I found Blue Christmas as well. Remarkable.
For May, How about Richard Kelly’s early short film, Visceral Matter?
and as a backup, the Hungarian short film Bizonyos jóslatok (1967) (aka Certain Prophecies) which was directed by József Nepp and Ottó Foky and actually appeared on Chuck Jones’ lost Curiosity Shop TV show…
Greatly enjoyed Man in Space! Thanks for your incredible efforts!
Hi Jon,
Terrific site!
Looking for Morgen in Alabama, aka Man Under Suspicion (1984) by Norbert Kückelmann, starring Maximilian Schell. From West Germany. I have several resources at my disposal, including karagara and a guy in Europe with a catalogue of 85000 titles for sale, and none have this listed!!! It isn’t on any torrent site either!
If you can find it I’ll be incredibly gratified.
My #2 title – a backup – is Claude Boissol’s super rare 1960 technicolor farce 3 Etcs and the Colonel, aka Trois etc. du colonel, aka Tre eccetera del colonnello.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Nate
The closest I’ve ever come is a 35mm print of this that was circulating on Ebay a couple years ago for about $200. I didn’t spend the money but I wish I had.
Hi Nathan.
I might be able to find a copy of “Morgen in Alabama”, I’ll email you if I find it.
Also, please let’s not sell bootleg copies of movies here, I’m all against those kind of sites and so anyone trying to sell unofficial copies of movies that are requested here would be seen the same way.
Thanks.
hi, jon thanks for all this work. could you possibly find marcel hanouns “l’automne” or even “le nuit claire”

Hi Jon,
First many thanks for this excellent site and your channel on ok ru
I have two films this month which I would like to have with subtitles, if you can obtain them. I have both films but without subtitles .I can provide you with the films, if necessary.
Uma(Horse) 1941 by Yamamoto. This film was co-directed by Kurosawa and for some film experts should be considered as his first film as Kurosawa directed most of the scenes.
La danse de mort 1948 by Marcel Cravenne. This is a French film version of Dance of Death(Strindberg) with Erich von Stroheim in the title role
Miss Lonelyhearts (the 1983 “episode” from American Playhouse – starring Eric Roberts)
A flame at the pier (namina o shishi no tategami ni) masahiro shinoda 1962
Epitome (shukuzu) kaneto shindô 1953
The Troublesome Double (1971)
Stolen Memories: Secrets From The Rose Garden (1996)
IMDb lists The Troublesome Double as a film from 1967, but this must be a mistake.
Japan
Samurai no ko (1963) Mitsuo Wakasugi
The Victory of Women/Jpsei no Shore (1946) Kenji Mizoguchi
thanks, Jon!

There’s 2 James Garner films I’d love to see.
1. Boys’ night out (1962)
2.The Skin Game (1971)
You already have A man could get killed (1966) with James Garner on your site, but it’s poor quality. It’s even worse on youtube. I wonder if there’s a better print of this somewhere on the net. Thanks for your excellent site. Richard.
Skin Game is a WB Archive DVD
Thanks for all you do! I’d like to request:
– Dallas Doll (1994) by Ann Turner
and / or:

Multiple clips are available on youtube, but the complete doc has proved impossible to track down.
Likely Consequence

A filmed version of his stage play.
Thanks for this site. I would love to see PARIS DOES STRANGE THINGS a/k/a ELENA AND HER MEN with Ingrid Bergman.
It’s on DVD from Criterion, and is available to stream on their service.
I am hunting for “The Deadly Trap” (1971).
Your help is much appreciated.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067382/
That one is easily found under the title “Death Scream”. It’s on YouTube at the moment.
Hi Jon,
Glad to see you open for requests again.
I’m looking for Advice From A Caterpillar (1999) and I don’t have an extra pick at the moment.
Thanks!
Hello sir,
I am have been looking for the 1953 film Taxi, which marked Geraldine Page’s movie debut. Dan Dailey played the lead. I hope you might be able to track this down or maybe one of your loyal followers has a lead! Thank you very much.
September Requests

2) Unmasked – 1950
Further request but not for rarefilmm: Any links to The Steel Jungle (1956) and The Lawbreakers (1961)

I’m looking for the Japanese film “Winkle” from 1992

2) the Mad Songs of Fernanda `Hussein (2001)
Also if you have or know of any links to other Manoel de Oliveira films please send them. Thank you very much
Hi, thanks for uploading my requests before. I would probably never be able to see them otherwise.
Can I request the Men and War trilogy (Yamamoto, 1970-1973) or just the first if three is too much?
Backup: Dawn of a New Day: The Man Behind VHS (Sasabe 2002)
Request:

Thank you for your generosity!

“6 Rms Riv Vu” (1974) – TV movie starring Alan Alda & Carol Burnett
“Louis Armstrong – Chicago Style” (1976) – TV movie starring Ben Vereen & Red Buttons. I believe this was once available on VHS.
Thank you!
Requests:
Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind (1980) Tsui Hark
Lancelot du lac (1974) Robert Bresson
Thanks so much for keeping this up!
Dangerous Encounters…is on YouTube. Saw it in 35mm earlier this year-unbelievably hard to sit through in key sections. Not on the same level as The Blade or Once Upon a Time in China, but Hark was already a gifted stylist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FRehkZmnWs&t=108s
encounters. directors cut.

3 copies including this at
https://ulozto.net
“That Girl From Boston” (1975) starring Alexandra Hay and Mamie Van Doren, directed by Matt Cimber, written by Robert H. Rimmer, cinematography by Dean Cundey
This film was completed but never released. A long shot, but stranger things have popped up on this very site, so I’m putting the request out there just in case somebody has it…
Requests:
Andrina (Bill Forsyth, 1981)
Teach Me! (Mike Nichols, 1968)
Two short films from masters which have been buried for years. Good luck hunting them down. You’re the best
Wonderful to see you back — it’s amazing how many requests you got in such a short time!
I’d love to find the first film made by Ed Hunt, who made the absolutely incredibly weird Flying Saucer movie Starship Invasions. It’s called Point of No Return and it’s from 1976. Here’s the IMDB link:
As a backup, how about the wacky Hong Kong feature, Snake Curse (She Zhou) from 2004. There’s a version dubbed in Hindi with no subs on Youtube, but it’s so insane that one hopes for a better version.
Incidentally, any idea where I could find the subs for the Czech time travel film Neco je ve vzduchu? it’s up on youtube, but so far no subs anywhere! And Czech is a language which is notoriously hard to autotranslate…
Thanks for all the great films! I’ve caught quite a few of your uploads on Ok.ru, and plan to watch yet more! Keep up the great work, and I’m glad to hear that things are going well enough that you can resume the requests! Thanks!
Glad to see you are taking requests again—as always, much appreciated. Would you have Qivitoq (1956) with English subtitles? (Backup—Harry and the Butler (1961)) Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for all you do on this site, an incredible resource!
My 2 film choices are
– A Degree of Murder by Volker Schlöndorff
– HIlter: A Film From Germany by Hans-Jurgen Syberberg
Thanks!
Happy happy you’re back Jon! I’d like to request whichever one is these is available:
Kiemas (1999) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0201707/
Altyn Kyrghol (My Brother the Silk Road) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0321177/
Thanks
Hi Jon, thank you so much for “Sanka”, I almost lost my hope that I would see it one day, 🙂
My wishes for this time are two Wakamatsu movies, which may be really hard to find, I really don’t know.
Kyôsô jôshi-kô / Running in Madness, Dying in Love (1969)
Alternative: Harakashi onna / A Womb to Let (1968)
a million thanks in advance and no hurry! All the best.
Hi, great to see you taking requests again, thanks for all that you do!
I’m still desperate to see The Dressmaker (1988) and the other requests I have previously made and am keeping my fingers crossed that they may appear one day, but I’d like to request another title this month, and that’s Downtime (1997) starring Paul McGann.
Many thanks!
Hi,
I would like to request Abraham’s Valley (1995) by Manoel de Oliveira.
Alternatively,
The Man Who Stole the Sun (1979) by Kazuhiko Hasegawa
Thank you!
I second Abraham’s Valley
Glad to have you back, Jon! I am looking for the 1953 Rosemary Clooney starrer “The Stars are Singing.” This used to be on Amazon Prime or Netflix a few years ago, but now it’s nowhere to be found online. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the work you’ve done so far! I ended up finding a film I hadn’t even thought to look for and was pleasantly surprised.
I’d like to ask for two other films of Assumpta Serna’s to be found, if possible. Her works can be very hard to find!
Momentos Robados (Stolen Moments) (1997)
or
La Vieja Musica (The Old Music) by Mario Camus (1985).
I have a good chunk of her collection (so if you get any additional requests for stuff she’s in let me know), but these ones are either impossible to find or are very expensive. And I’ll take any film she’s in, really.
Thank you!
Hi Jon,
Here are some requests they are probably very hard to find but…
Shirley Thompson versus the Aliens (1972)
The Office Picnic (1972)
Changes (Hall Bartlett 1969)
Follow Me (Gene McCabe 1969)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0305240/?mode=desktop&ref_=m_ft_dsk
My request: Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Kingsley-Intl.) 1955
Much appreciated.
Hi Jon,
My request is ‘Take It to the Limit’ (1980) by Peter Starr – it’s technically listed on his personal website, but you can’t get anything from there anymore and emails aren’t being responded to so I assume that whole enterprise is dead. There’s clips show up on youtube from time to time so it must be out there somewhere.
Thanks for all the hard work
Great to see you back full time. I hope everything goes okay again with your personal life. Here is a movie I’ve been searching for a long time:
Djeli, conte d’aujourd’hui (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082271/)
BACKUP: Sarraounia (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091892/)
Hi there,
Your site is amazing!
My request is Shinoda’s film of Demon Pond 1979:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079041/
There is an old VHS somewhere but no DVD of any region I can find. I even managed to buy a promo glossy on ebay, but no dvd!
Thanks much for considering this. I think it fits well with what you do.
And again, thanks for all this work you do for all of us!
Best to you always,
Martin
I’m not sure why Atom Egoyan’s CITADEL has had such limited circulation – I’ve heard that he’s worried that the opinions expressed within it about Lebanese politics would be too controversial to give the film a wide release – but I’ve waited since it was completed for a chance to see it. I still haven’t had one.
As a 2006 film it would not qualify as a request – if that’s what it is. In the instructions at the top films have to be before 2004.
Hello! Any chance you have “Summer Love” with John Saxon from 1958? Thank you for this website.
Hi Jon,
In addition to “Run, Rabbit, Run” (1969), I’m also searching for the following Films:

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0063799/
“The Little Match Girl” (1974). A 25 minute long, incredibly sad Made for Television Special starring Lynsey Baxter (and Jessica Parker in a small role).

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

The Alpha Caper (1973)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069693/
many thanks
Hi Jon, thanks for this wonderful, wonderful site. I’ve been looking for Woman Without a Face (not to be confused with A Woman’s Face) by the Swedish director Gustaf Molander with no luck. Any chance of an upload? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jon,
Heartfelt thanks for this site.
My requests are-
1. Inspector Palmu’s Error ( Komisario Palmun erehdys )-1960
2.backup-The wastrel (1961)
Thanks a lot again.
Don’t know the title about this one, maybe you can help: I am looking for a movie about a couple on the run after having committed a crime. One scene takes place on a deserted beach. The guy gets shot (by mob hitmen?) standing by the sea, while his long-haired brunette girlfriend watches from afar, sitting in the dunes. The bullets make an eerie sound on the quiet beach. The guy falls down and the waves wash over his body. I think it is a French movie, maybe Spanish, definitely European. Probably 1990s. Thanks in advance.
….Here are a few I’ve been looking for….I think some have been released at some time, but are no longer available publicly…
The Littlest Hobo-1958 (?) NOT the Canadian TV series
Fiend Without a Face-1958 (British)
A Dream of Kings-1969
Doomwatch-1972 (British-based on TV series of same name)
Deadly Encounter-1982 (TV Movie)
Chase a Crooked Shadow-1958 (British)
Beast of the City-1932
The Arousers-1970 (originally released as “Sweet Kill”-also known as “A Kiss From Eddie”
Mister Buddwing-1966
Where Have All The People Gone?-1974 (TV Movie)
Sudden Fear-1952
Strangers in 7A-1972 (TV Movie)
Shack Out on 101-1955
The Pyx-1973 (Canadian)(also known as “The Hooker Cult Murders)
The Liquidator-1966 (British)
..Thanks, this is an incredible movie site!
Chase A Crooked Shadow and Fiend Without a Face are still in print. Beast of the City’s been available on DVD-R for 10 years now. Also, it might help if you read the top of this page.
Would love to see A CLASH OF LOYALTIES (1983) starring Oliver Reed. It’s a historical epic made in Iraq almost a decade before the first Gulf War, and I believe Saddam Hussein had some involvement in the financing!!! There are copies on YouTube, but there on no subtitles on the foreign parts, so it’s only possible to comprehend the English language sections, if, like me, you only speak English. A subtitled or dubbed version would be marvellous if one exists at all (I believe there must be one somewhere, as it was shown many years ago – in ’84 I believe – at some film festival).
Also, I would like to see THE CONDEMNED OF ALTONA (1962) starring Sophia Loren, Fredric March and Maximilian Schell. Seems to have vanished off the face of the planet for some reason.
If you can, I’d love to see Bombay Boys (1998) starring Naveen Andrews, Naseeruddin Shah, Alexander Gifford, and Roshan Seth.
Also, a TV movie called Future Tense (2003) starring Christopher Titus and Naveen Andrews.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful films you share with us!
Hello! Thanks for accepting requests. I am searching for some forgotten french films.

My wish in September is:
Day-O (1992)

Just for your information:

I’d like to see another Doillon film if it is available with English subs, La Tentation d’Isabelle / The Temptation of Isabelle https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090146/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_24
As always, thanks.

Request: Moonlight and Pretzels (1933) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024348/

Thanks

Hello Jon,
Am requesting “Eva”, 1962 dir Joseph Losey, with Jeanne Moreau. It was available on DVD until recently but seems to have been discontinued. If I’m mistaken in this regard, my apologies and please ignore. Thank you.
Yeah, looks like the Kino region 1 DVD is 19 years old and long oop, scalper prices online. If I remember right, Truffaut was a real fan of this one!
Hello Jon, I haven’t requested in awhile, but this is a tough one worthy of several-months requests – I’m not sure if it’s even be on video!…
Babette Mangolte’s “The Cold Eye (My Darling, Be Careful)” (1980)

Happy Halloween, Jon, sorry I just noticed I replied to a post last Month where I asked for two Rosi’s – Lucky Luciano & Illustrious Corpses, but Illustrious Corpses is on Youtube after all – with English subtitles to boot, so scratch that one off (my apologies).
Thus, for Sept-Oct., LUCKY LUCIANO would be my request, and THE COLD EYE a backup.
The White Room (1968) ‘Byalata staya’ Directed by Metodi Andonov
Thanks!
I would like to request Demon Pond 1979 (Ya-sha-ga-ike).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079041
Perfect request!!! I love all three Shinoda’s I’ve been lucky to see so far, and that one looks amazing. Best of luck to Jon finding it, looks like a tough one.
You have a number of awesome Japanese films available, but they are not easy to find.
Would it be possible to tag the film index with country?
If this involves some manual work, I would be willing to help.
Hi Bo.
To search all Japanese films on the site you can use the link below
http://rarefilmm.com/tag/japan/
For other countries simply replace what’s after “tag” with the country you want and it will show you other countries as well for example Italy, France, etc.
This isyear second request. Please upload the movies; Wyoming renegades (eng sub) and Dynamite Joe. Thanks!!
Sorry, this is my second request.
1) Inquietud (1998, Manoel De Oliveira)
2) The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein (2001)
OR
3) How to live in the federal german republic (1990, harun farocki)
Hi, just an update to an earlier request of mine. I realised ‘fernanda hussein’ is on region 1 dvd, however its unavailable and has been for some time it seems, so i dont know what the rules for this are, therefore i included a second back up.
Also, im 2 films away from completing Rosenbaum’s top 100 list, one being the afformentioned inquietud, the other, charles burnett’s short “when it rains”. Any info or links for these films would be greatly appreciated as would any links for any other manoel de oliveria films (i saw ‘doomed love’ on this site and loved it!)
Keep up the good work, this site is amazing, thanks
“When It Rains” is currently available on the Criterion Channel. The bad news is that it is scheduled to expire on Sept 30, 6 days from now!
Thank you! I looked it up however, and the criterion channel isnt available in my region.
Hello, Aidan, if you’re on social media like twitter, sometimes putting out feelers among film lovers there will lead to wonderful shared links to sites and files to stream or download. I’ve lucked out a few times on certain rarities, and that’s how I discovered this great website/project earlier this year.
Like you, I’m dying to see that Oliveira.
As you may be aware, Milestone Films has that 3-disc Charles Burnett set which includes “When It Rains”, although it’s over $30 USD (more for out-of-USA shipping).
Hello!
If it possible, Midsummer (1999) James Kerwin and for backup request, – With or Without You (1998) Wendell Jon Andersson.
Hey Jon, hope your well!!
My request this month is: Lake of the Dead (1958) from Sweden, i hope its viable, couldn’t find any obvious releases.
For my backup the french movie Ne réveillez pas un flic qui dort (let sleeping cops lie)
from 1988
Thanks Jon!!
Hey Steve, Lake of the Dead here https://www.cda.pl/video/2898762c1, and Let Sleeping Cops Lie here https://ok.ru/video/37724162768
Thanks, but unfortunately these do not have english subtitles..
Thanks for the “heads up” as regards The Criterion Channel, Lawrence.
Consequently please discount my earlier request for “Eva” as I see it is still available.

Le moine et la sorcière (1987) looks amazing! Good luck.
Hi Jon
Your site is a treasure. Thank you for the inspiration to watch more movies that are under the radar. There’s so much to explore here already that it feels gluttonous to make a request! I wondered if Marco Ferreri’s 1978 film “Rêve de Singe” (aka” Ciao Maschio” or “Bye Bye Monkey”) exists in a non-dubbed version, with English subtitles instead?
Thank you!
All the best,
Susan

Do you know if there is a decent print of A man could killed (1966) starring James Garner. You have it on your site but it’s not great, though it’s better than the blurry copy on youtube. It’s such a rare film, that maybe this is all we can have. Great site. Thanks.

Thank you for this incredible site. There are two Academy Award Winners for Best Foreign Language Film that I have not yet seen. They have been impossible to find. They are:
Mephisto (1981)
La Diagonale du Fou (Dangerous Moves) (1984)

Mephisto was an Anchor Bay R1 DVD, and I thought it was recently restored, so a Blu-Ray should be forthcoming
Any chance you have The Hatter’s Ghost (1982) by Claude Chabrol? Thanks!
Do you have Last Winter, an Israeli film from 1984 with Kathleen Quinlan?
Would you be able to get either of these?
