Requests
Hey guys,
Feel free to post below in the comments which movies you would like me to upload.
Remember the rules are still the same as in the old site:
- No Region 1 DVD/Bluray available to purchase online.
- Movie was released before the year 2001.
- Foreign films applies same rules, if the movie was released on DVD/Bluray but only in country of origin make sure it’s region locked, some studios release them with region 0 and include subtitles, in that case I will not upload them.
- NEW Please make sure the film you request isn’t already available on Youtube, it takes a lot of time to look for each film and to see that it’s already up on YT it’s just a waste of time, please make sure to check before requesting it.
Please do not post more than 2 movies at the time and wait for my confirmation to see if I have them not, if I don’t have them then you can post again. Priority will be given to the first movie you request, the second one in case I have it will be uploaded later on. No more than 2 requests per person per month. Each movie requested will be uploaded within 2 weeks (usually takes less).
Thanks!
PLEASE AVOID POSTING VEEHD LINKS they make you download a plugin or some video player/software for your computer to watch the movies on their site, this can lead to people getting malware into their computers. Thanks.
First off, welcome back, Jon! Beautiful site! Two films I have looked for forever are, Temptation Harbor (1947)
and Manon des sources (1952) w/ subtitles.Hi Jon. Welcome back.. Are you able to locate a good print of a 1950 film called “Curtain call at Cactus Creek” ? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041479/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) Thank you.
Hi Kerry.
I have this film but quality is pretty bad, do you want me to upload it anyway? Seems to be the only copy around.
Let me know.
Thanks Jon. It’s probably the same copy I can locate. Do not upload. Thanks for responding. Great to see you back. Kind regards.
Hey Jim,
Glad you liking the site, a new design was much needed the old one made the site look like it was from the early 00s, haha.
No luck with the first one.but I will upload Manon des Sources, it seems that it’s a 2 parts movie I guess you want both parts right?
Take care!
River of Three Junks ?
No luck with this one Dan, sorry!
Hi, Jon…nice to see you back! Good-looking site, too. I’m looking for Innocents of Paris (1929) with Maurice Chevalier. Thanks!
Hey Mike.
Nice to see you around too!
No luck with that one unfortunately, I’ll add it to the wanted list.
Welcome back, Jon! Thanks for this wonderful service you provide. Any chance you have either of the following films:
JEALOUSY (1935; with George Murphy)
THE PEOPLE NEXT-DOOR (1970; with Eli Wallach)Hi James!.
Thank you man; I’m happy to be back!
I was only able to find ‘The People Next Door’, will upload it later this week.
Take care!
Thanks so much! Looking forward to it!
Thanks for posting “The People Next Door!”
You Can’t Buy Everything (1934)
Thank you!!!
Negative 🙁
Great to have you back after so long.. I would like to request The Legion’s Last Patrol (1962) with Stewart Granger. Thanks.
Hey Michael.
Nice to see you here after so long, thanks for coming back!
No luck with that film unfortunately, seems to be a very rare one.
If you have any other titles you looking for just let me know.
Take care!
The Silken Affair with David Niven. Thanks!
No luck here, sorry Rachel.
I will add it to the list of wanted films in case some collector has it.
Great Scott, it’s true, rarefilmm is back! When my friend told me so, I doubted him, but wow, he was not wrong! Wonderful! Jon, if you can find Léviathan (1962) (Dark Journey) or L’accompagnatrice (1992) (The Accompanist), that would be grand!
I would doubt it as well haha even I wasn’t too sure if I was going to continue with rarefilmm a few months ago but I took the right decision and I’m so happy that people seem to be coming back and keep supporting me since day 1, it’s incredible and I really appreciate it.
About those films unfortunately wasn’t able to find them, if you are looking for any others just let me know.
Yeah, Jon, I thought those two requests might be iffy, Appreciate you looking all the same. I do have two other requests, but I suspect they might be on the iffy side as well, at least with eng subs. – Julia, du bist zauberhaft (1962) and Extérieur, nuit (1980).
Hey.
I found ‘Exérieur, nuit’ with subs! I’ll upload it before the end of this week.
Cheers!
Wow, that’s great news, Jon! Can’t wait! Much obliged!
Is there a snowball’s chance in hell of you finding Hung Up (1973) or Broken English (1981)? I believe both of these films were abandoned by their respective studios/distributors
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0121384/
Two very rare films which I doubt will be showing up anytime soon, sorry!
I’m looking for 2 films from my childhood that I barely remember. Toto and the Poachers (1958-British) and The Bashful Elephant (1962-Austrian/US). Good luck with the new site!
Hi Bernard.
Thank you!
Wasn’t able to find much about those 2 films, incredibly rare titles they seem, gonna add them to the wanted films list.
Take care.
The site looks amazing. Any B&W films from 40s-1960 would be amazing. On the tv side any rare My Little Margie episodes not seen on YouTube would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks Mark.
I will start working on rareTV in a few months, will see if I can’t find any rare My Little Margie episodes.
Take care.
In view of upcoming Easter feast, I’d love to be able to watch the ultrarare BARABBAS (Alf Sjoberg, 1953) & the utterly obscure Jeff Chandler epic A STORY OF DAVID (1960).
No luck with those for now Mario, sorry.
All films you had on the old site, so you’ll probably get all these up eventually. In order of how happy I’d be to see them pop up again. 🙂
Still LifeThe Ball at the Anjo House
Under the Flag of the Rising Sun
Surreal Estate
Night at the Crossroads
Snow Country
Gheisar
A Wife Confesses
Seisaku’s Wife

Hi Paula.
I don’t have any of these films unfortunately but I will add them to the list of wanted films. Will let you know if I have some news.
Take care.
Hi Jon!
My list has shrunk over the years, thanks to you, but here are a couple films I am still seeking:
Las Vegas by Night aka Spree
Rebel Angel
No luck with these Trace, sorry! 🙁
So happy to see the site back. Thank you for returning to us.
My first two requests are for two Japanese films: Kobayashi Masaki’s Nihon no seishun (Hymn to a Tired Man) (1968) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134849/ and Gosha Hideo’s Nikutai no mon (Carmen 1945) (1988) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202500/ .
Thank you.
Hello there!
I couldn’t find these two unfortunately, I will add them to the list of wanted films.
HEDDA (1975). Glenda Jackson received one of her Oscar nominations for this movie. It doesn’t circulate much anymore.
THE LOST MAN (1969). Sidney Poitier is the star, and his future wife, Joanna Shimkus, is in it as well.
I just found Hedda on You Tube. It’s middling quality, but it is watchable in my opinion.
I’ve been searching for HEDDA too. The upload on YouTube is very poor and becomes unwatchable, unfortunately. Hopefully Jon has access to a better quality copy.
Sorry. I didn’t watch the whole thing and I should have before opining. I hope Jon does come up with a better copy for you.
Hi Barry.
I have The Lost Man’, will upload it soon, I also have a very poor copy of Hedda which is the same than the one up on Youtube, I’ll try to find a better copy, if I do find one I’ll upload it here.
Do you have either of these films – “Marriage of a Young Stockbroker” with Richard Benjamin or“Wild in the Sky” (aka “Black Jack”) – the final film of Brandon de Wilde?Welcome back Jon. Hope all is well. I’m looking for an English movie called “A Little Bit of Lippy” Thanks.
Hi Adam, nice to hear from you again.
I don’t that movie but I’ll add it to the list of wanted films, I might be able to get a copy of it in a few months, if I find I’ll upload it for you..
Do you have the BBC adaption of The Peacock Spring? It was aired in two parts on Masterpiece Theatre Season 25 (1996) episodes 16 and 17.
No luck with this one, Gabrielle, I’ll keep looking.
Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate that. Thanks for all the other great films I have found here!
HI JON I hope you can find 1932 MY PAL THE KING starring TOM MIX and mickey rooney
Hi Simon.
I don’t have that one sadly, sorry!
Hullo, Jon. Brilliant to see you back!
Are these two films possible?
1. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118129/
2. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116111/
Thanks
Hello there!
Sorry I couldn’t find these, I’ll add them to the list of wanted films in case someone else might have them, I’ll let you know.
Hiya! I’m quite new here, so I don’t know how this works…. But, I’m looking for a TV movie called “Parallel Lives” starring Liza Minnelli! I hope that’s alright and doesn’t break any rules.
TV Movie from 1994, unfortunately I don’t have it, sorry!
I think it’d be a good idea if, say, every week Jon took stock of the situation & advise which of the requested titles he has gotten hold of so far…so that, if something’s still missing & another member has it, Jon can stop looking for it & concentrate on uploading more stuff, looking for the titles no one has, etc..
Great to see you back, and thanks for all you do.
Any chance of finding SPRINGTIME FOR HENRY (1934), which has never been released on DVD? Thank you.
Can’t find anything with this one, I’ll add it to the WANTEDs list.
Hi Jon! Welcome back!! So happy, already have so many good films uploaded! In the future, can you check for Jacques Rozier’s ‘Maine Ocean (1986)’and John Hanson’s ‘Wildrose (1984)’? Impossible for me to find. Take care! – RennyHi. I asked for Abel Gance’s Paradis Perdu on the Facebook page but also wanted to ask for it here as well.I’m also looking for a 1959 film directed by Michael Powell, Honeymoon, in widescreen if possible.
Thanks again very much.
Hi LG.
Wish I could find a widescreen version of ‘Honeymoon’ but so far no luck, only version available is a very low quality pan & scanned copy, hoping for a restoration and release soon.
Hi Jon,
Boy, were you missed! Great to see you’re back. And does your site ever look sharp!
If I may make a request it would be for pair of Lee Tracy films, THE NIGHT MAYOR (1932) and I’LL TELL THE WORLD (1934).
Thanks very much.
Hi Tom.
Thanks very much for the compliments, I really appreciate it.
No luck with ‘The Night Mayor’ but I found ‘I’ll tell the world’ will upload it soon.

I would like to see the 1983 TV movie “Ghost Dancing,” starring Dorothy McGuire, among others. I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks for your consideration!
Negative here, sorry, Tony.
Hi Jon! I love your website! I just found it this evening. Do you happen to have ‘Meet the Parents’ (92)…not the Ben Stiller movie but the “original one”?
What about “Prisoners of Inertia” (89)?
Thanks in advance, and keep up the fantastic work!!!
Hi Tony.
Thank you!
Wow I didn’t know there was an original from the Ben Stiller movie I’ll try to find it. So far no luck and no luck for the other one either, if I can find it I’ll post them but they seems to be pretty rare films.
Hi Jon,
How about Allons z’enfants (1981)? I own a copy but there are no English subs.
2nd request: Der Bockerer (1981) w/English subs
Can’t help you here, Dan. Both copies I have also don’t have subs, they will be probably released at some point tho, as soon as they are out I’ll upload them here.
Thanks Jon.
Hi Jon,
Lucky Legs (1942) and
Lady Bodyguard (1943).Hi Rob.
Couldn’t find ‘Lucky Legs’ but I have ‘Lady Bodyguard’, will upload it next week.
Take care!
Mr. Jon;
I have been looking for Black Neon 1991 for years now …. I have even been in contact with the director and actors in the film and they do not have a copy. it is an Ozploitation action film …. I have been on several Torrent sites and still can’t find it … it has been a real challenge … I was wondering if you had this one or can get it … it was released on an International VHS one time I believe …
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2077715/
Hi Ryan.
Wow that’s odd, if even the director doesn’t have a copy I doubt anyone has one, it will be incredibly hard to find a copy but I’ll let you know if I find it.
Take care.
Greetings, Jon! I know you said only 2 requests, but I have a short list, only because I genuinely don’t think subtitles are available for any of them, but was merely hoping that perhaps you, with your impressive tracking skills, might be able to find at least one: Einer von uns beiden (1974) – Les dernières vacances (1948) – Copie conforme (1947) – Pension Mimosas (1935) – Le petit criminel (1990) – Hold-Up (1985). Also, I saw a request for Temptation Harbor (1947) at the top, and I just wanted to let people know that that film DOES exist, it’s not lost. The BFI has a copy > https://player.bfi.org.uk/rentals/film/watch-temptation-harbour-1947-online < for online rental, but I'm not sure if it's available outside of the UK or if you, Jon, would somehow be able to extract it to post on Rarefilmm? It's a rare one! Anyways, thanks again for all you're doing. This place it fantastic!
Hi JW.
Thank you very much for your comments, it makes me really happy when I see that people appreciate all the work I put into the site everyday. I’m very glad that you are enjoying the site, I’m trying to make it better everyday by finding the best and rarest content possible, it’s not easy but I try my best.
About your requests: I was only able to find ‘Les dernières vacances’ (1948) with eng. subtitles, I will upload it next week.
About ‘Temptation Harbour’ it is a very rare film and I think several people here want to see it, I’m not sure if that streaming service is available for those outside the UK, and for what I could read on forums and other sites it’s pretty much impossible to rip the content from that site because it’s encrypted and uses a “code” very difficult to crack, the only option is to record the screen with some type of recording software but results are often choppy and far from optimal. Hopefully a good quality copy surfaces at some point.
Yeah, Temptation Harbor is hard to come by outside the UK. But thrilled that you actually found one of those requests with English subtitles, Jon! And probably the one I’m most interested in at that! Many thanks!
I’m looking for ‘The dummy’ from 1929 with Ruth Chatterton and Fredric March and ‘Last of the long-haired boys’ from 1968 with Richard Todd. It would be great if you have one of these.
Hi Marc.
Sorry no luck with these two 🙁
Jon,
Fantastic to have you back. Here are two requests with thanks:
France
Tarras Boulba/Taras Bulba (1936) Alexis Granowsky with Harry Baur
Gribouille (1937) Marc Allegret with Raimu
cheers!
Hi Tony.
I have copies of these two films but there aren’t any subtitles for them unfortunately, if someone makes subs for them I’ll upload them.
Hi Jon, it’s great to have you back in business 🙂
I am looking for a film called ‘The Siege of Manchester’ (1965) from Theatre 625.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059717/
Hope it will be possible to find it – and thanks for posting so many great films for us to enjoy 🙂
Hi Annette.
Sorry that I didn’t give you an answer looks like for some reason I didn’t see it among all the requests, it’s too many comments so it can happen, I don’t have that film/episode, if you have any other requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
Hi Jon – can you locate a 1971 film called “Little Jungle Boy” ? It may also have the title “Momman, Little Jungle Boy”. As far as I am aware it has never been put on DVD. Here is a link to the IMDB entry – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064594/?ref_=nv_sr_1 .
Thank you.
Hi Kerry.
I don’t have that one, sorry. I’ll add it to the list of wanted films.
In my prehistoric era I remember seeing this film on t.v. and enjoy. It never came back, just disappear. Even today cannot find.-
She Made Her Bed (1934), 71 minutes .
cast-Richard Arlen and the under-rated actress Sally Eilers
Maybe you may have some success. There is one catagory of films which is forgotten-Silent Films
No success for this one Michael, sorry!
Edit: It seems I might be able to track down “She Made Her Bed” (1934), if I can get a copy I’ll upload it next week, keep an eye on the site.
There is 2 silents currently posted you can see them here: http://rarefilmm.com/category/silent/
Hi Jon I have two, the first is the second feature of Allen Baron who gave us Blast Of Silence, Terror In The City (aka Pie In The Sky) (1964) starring Lee Grant, the second is The Street Is My Beat (1966) directed by Irvin Berwick and starring Shary Marshall
No luck with these two, Ray. I’ll add them to the list of wanted films, hopefully someone has them or has any clue or where we might find them.
Hi Jon,
Wonderful to have you back. Your revamped site looks great and the layout is very very good.

I won’t be posting it here for now.
Welcome back, Jon!
I have a lot of movies I’d like to request, but since you only allow two at a time, I’d like to see “The Girl Habit” from 1931 and “By Candlelight” from 1933. Thank you.
Hi Andrew.
Sorry, I don’t have these but I added them to the list of wanted films, keep your fingers crossed, they it might surface soon.
Best,
Jon.
I have a copy of “By Candlelight”. I will send it, Jon.
Whoa! Let me first join the masses in heaping praise on this website! Bloody terrific! I have searched long and far for a place like this that specializes in obscure films, but the ones I have come across are either sketchy or invitation-only, and getting an invitation to those places seems next to impossible, so to find this place is a real boon! And that you take requests and offer streaming is really terrific. !
Right now I’m looking for Mac (1992) w/ John Turturro and the Nobuhiro Suwa film M/Other (1999).
Cheers, mate
Hey Lemmy.
Thank you very much for your words, I really appreciate it.
After seeing those type of websites you mention I thought that we needed a site like that but free and easy to access for everyone, that’s why I started with rarefilmm 🙂
I have those two films that you want, I will be uploading them very soon.
All the best,
Jon.
Any chance you have these hard to find 1930s flicks? 1934’s Men of the Night or 1936’s The Farmer in the Dell.
Thank you!
Hi Mark.
Sorry, no luck with those two.
Strikes me you`ve got more requests than you could possibly handle so I hesitate to add another- but I will. The 1929 movie `Close Harmony` starring Nancy Carroll & Charles `Buddy` Rogers – a rare movie indeed judging by the IMDb ratings.
Many Thanks
Hi Jeff.
It is a very rare movie, sadly I don’t have it, I will add it to the list of wanted films.
Best,
Jon.
Welcome back Rarefilmm!
Do you have or know how to come by Silence (1974) starring Will Geer, directed by John Korty? About Eric, a deaf mute who gets lost while camping in Santa Cruz, and is found by a hermit who teaches him how to survive in the woods.
Or Clouds of Glory: Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Ken Russell with David Hemmings as Coleridge?
Even if you haven’t, it’s still great to have you back.
Hi Jack.
I don’t have those but I have added them to the wanted films list, hopefully we have some luck in the future.
Best,
Jon.
So nice to have you back where you belong! My first requests are three foreign films that I believe you had on your old site:
The House of the Angel (Argentina)
Varastettu Kuolema (Stolen Death)
Duvivier’s Panique
Thanks so much!
Hi Andrew.
Thank you!
I have scheduled these 3 for re-upload within the next 10 days, keep an eye on the site.
Best,
Jon.
Hi sir!
Any chance you can find these two Chantal Akerman movies,
Histoires d’Amérique (1989)
Letters Home (1986)
Or any other rare Akerman for that matter. Thanks!
Hey Austin.
I have both films but ‘Letters Home’ is in French without subs, I’m guessing you don’t want it if it’s not subbed otherwise tell me and I’ll post a link here, I don’t post non-subbed films in the site but I can just leave a link here if you want, let me know.
Best,
Jon.
That’s great to hear Jon! Sure, if you don’t mind posting a link to “Letters Home” I’d really appreciate that. & does that mean “Histoires d’Amérique” will be uploaded to the site? I really appreciate the response, I’ve been looking for these for forever now!
Hey Austin.
Sorry for the delay.
I just posted “Histoires d’Amérique”.
And here’s a link where you can download unsubbed “Letters Home”:
https://ulozto.net/!eJRn9PYoXadt/letters-home-1986-no-subs-mp4
Enjoy!
Marie-Louise (1944) Foreign
Design For Death (1957) Documentary
Hi Brennan.
I only have ‘Marie-Louise’ but no eng. subs for it, it’s probably going to take a few months until they are done but once they are ready I’ll post it here.
If you have other films you are looking for just let me know and see if I can help you.
Best,
Jon.
Thanks for the help. I will definitely wait for the subtitles on Marie-Louise. Been looking forward to seeing this film for quite some time. I’ll add “Time And Dreams” (1976) Documentary to my requests, please.

Thanks Jon
Is this film available anywhere (with Eng subs)? Sait-on-jamais/No Sun in Venice http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050929/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_30
Hey there.
I have it but no eng. subs are available for it, we need to wait.
There is a copy on YouTube but without subs. Ignore the IMDb reviewer. Francois Truffaut considered this one of the best films of the year and his review is in his book The Films of My Life.
Hi again,
How about this German film?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107296/
Hi Mateja.
I have a VHS copy of that film but without subs, I think a better quality copy will surface soon and then someone probably will get to start working on the subs, no luck for now, I’ll keep you updated.
Best,
Jon.
Is this spaghetti western possible?

Greetings,
Welcome Back–I have been looking for the Joel McCrea/Sally Blane =Half a Sinner (1934) –there is a 1940 version online but it is not the same movie.
Also, have been looking for Ann Sheridan in Just Across the Street (1952).
Thanks for being back and sharing these wonderful films.
Hi Robert.
No luck with those two unfortunately but I’ll add them to the list of wanted films, If a copy of any of these 2 films surface I’ll upload it.
Best,
Jon.
Hi Jon,

Hi Walters.
Sorry I don’t have those but I’ll add them to the list of wanted films, maybe someone else has them and can send me some copies, will let you know.
Best,
Jon.
Dear Jon,
What a pleasure to finally see THE BACHELOR PARTY. Tough writing and sensational turn by Carolyn Jones. Hard to believe that she received an Oscar-nomination for such a small role 🙂
The three films that I would like to request are:
“Les Violons du bal” with award.-winning Marie-Jose Nat
“My Sixth Convicts” with award-winning Millard Mitchell
“Murder Inc.” with Oscar-nominated Peter Falk
All the very best from Michael
MICHAEL, My Six Convicts (1952) is up on YT, here: https://youtu.be/Bn6PLZDfmks
Murder, Inc. (1960) as well: https://youtu.be/YIgSwXS93K0
Hi Michael.
Glad you enjoyed ‘The Bachelor Party’ 🙂
I have “Les Violons du bal” and “My Six Convicts” will upload them within the next 10 days.
Murder Inc. is available on DVD:
https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Inc-Stuart-Whitman/dp/B01LTIC52M/
Best,
Jon.
murder inc is one i wanted to see as well.
Thank you, requester, and uploader.
Hi Jon, and thanks again for adding me in your FB group. Do you know if you can find a good copy of “Oh…Rosalinda!!” (1955), the adaptation of Strauss’ Fledermaus by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, with my beloved Anton Walbrook, as the bat, and also Michael Redgrave, Antony Quayle, Ludmilla Tcherina, Dennis Price… (what a cast!)
I bought a decent DVD on a grey site (with a curious ad in the middle), and I know that this obviously TVrip is available online, but I know the movie has been restored and screened in different cities in Europe and USA in a very good quality. Then, do you know if a very good copy exists?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Lylah.
You’re welcome!
It seems that the copy you have is the same copy that is floating on the internet sourced from a VHS with ad breaks. For what could investigate it seems that there was a scheduled released from a German label but it was abandoned, looks like we will have to wait until a proper upgrade shows up. I’ll keep you updated about this if I know something else.
Best,
Jon.
Thanks Jon!
Is this TV movie possible? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071555/
Hi Samantha.
Yes, I have this that film, I will be uploading it very soon.
Best,
Jon.
Does anyone know where I can find the WWII film “Square of Violence”? Here’s the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055473/.
Hi Fred.
You can download ‘Square of Violence’ in the following link:
https://ulozto.net/!HSqypvwDm2Ho/square-of-violence-avi
Quality is pretty bad but it’s the only copy I could find.
Best,
Jon.
Do you happen to have See How They Run, the 1964 tv movie?
Hi Emily.
Sorry, I don’t have it.
Hey,
I’m looking for this classic Canadian comedy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084708

Hi Jon,
Looking for La Califfa… Italian film from Director: Alberto Bevilacqua 1970
and La Favorita… Director: Cesare Barlacchi 1952.
Thanks Jon,
Jim G.
Hi Jim.
I only have ‘La califfa’, I will upload it here next week.
Best,
Jon.
How about:
Robert Downey, Sr.’s amazing “Pound” (1970) — a very good copy used to be up on YouTube, but it was removed. Very rare and funny.
Milos Forman’s “Taking Off” (1971)
“Big Trouble” (1986) — John Cassavettes helmed this comedy for a studio. Never on DVD.
“Taking Off” is available on a region A/B/C BluRay on Amazon.
“Big Trouble” is on R1 DVD (I know because I have it) which you could also probably still find if not on Amazon then on eBay for sure.
Chuck.
I will upload “Pound” and “Big Trouble” (DVD seems to be out of print), keep an eye on the site during the next few weeks.
Best,
Jon.
Some of the rare Golan-Globus titles, not on DVD:
“Magician of Lublin” with Alan Arkin and Louise Fletcher (especially this one; it was on VHS decades ago, but never DVD);
“Over the Brooklyn Bridge”
“Surrender” and “Bullseye” — both with Michael Caine
“Othello” (with Tony Curtis)
Here’s Big Trouble (1986) – https://ok.ru/video/86603532987
Also found Surrender on YT, but picture quality is low – https://youtu.be/lg-Y44J-4WU Also, it’s a 5hr video, but Surrender plays first and is intact.
Thank you!
“The Proper Time” (1962) — directed by and starring a young Tom Laughlin, a decade before he became famous in “Billy Jack.” This one literally hasn’t been seen since its original release…
Would also love to see Robert Altman’s “Health” (1980) — unfairly maligned and not on DVD, but very good.
hi,
health is on yt…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbKa4r2Nm5o
Jon my friend, you have access to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069434/ The Taming of Fire (1972) USSR? Tried to get it off Rutracker but none of their versions match up with the only English srt available out here. A large file on KG which I would grab but since I had to change my torrent client I’m unable to seed so my ratio goes down in spite of having a thousand torrents available to seed. Anyway, thanks and take care…………
Sure Rob I can get it for you.
Best,
Jon.
Hi Jon, So glad to see you back and the redesign is terrific. Very user friendly. Love what you’ve been able to put up so far.
I have so many I’d love to find but the two I’m the most hopeful that you might be able to locate are:
1946’s The Bachelor’s Daughters with Gail Russell, Claire Trevor and Billie Burke
and
1951’s The Guy Who Came Back with Paul Douglas, Linda Darnell and Joan Bennett.
Thanks!
Hi Joel.
Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it.
Unfortunately I don’t have those two films but I will add them to the list of wanted films, I think there’s a good chance someone else might have them.
Best,
Jon.

Good to see you back! Two requests:
1) THE MAD FOX (aka LOVE, THY NAME BE SORROW or KOIYA KOI NASUNA KOI) (1962, Tomu Uchida)
2) THE BRAT (1931, John Ford)
The latter doesn’t seem to be anywhere around in DVD land but it doesn’t seem to be a lost film.
Hi Simon.
No eng. subs yet for the ultra rare “KOIYA KOI NASUNA KOI” but looks like there’s people working on them, I say we will have them within 45-60 days probably.
No luck with “The Brat” either, looks like a restoration was made on 2016 and there were plans to do a Bluray/DVD release but for some reason it never happened, maybe one day it will :/
2 Aldwych farces: ROOKERY NOOK (1930) & THARK! (1932)

In 1990, Serge Gainsbourg directed a 67-minute film, “Stan the Flasher,” starring Claude Berri and Aurore Clement. About ten or fifteen years ago, it was shown on US television one time, on the Independent Film Channel, with English subtitles — but never again after that. I contacted the Channel but they said they have no plans to ever air it again. This is the only time it was ever shown with English subtitles, and there are no bootleg DVDs available online. I missed the showing and was never able to see the film. I am wondering if anybody was able to record it from IFC those many years ago. Even if it’s VHS quality, it would still be worth it; Maybe it could be uploaded to rarefilmm. Thanks!
It’s here, but without subs
https://ok.ru/video/256664734271
Hey Chuck,
Sorry I don’t have this one, it’s up on OK.ru in the link above ^ but no subs like Lylah says.
You Light Up My Life (1977)
Serengeti Shall Not Die / Serengeti Darf Nicht Sterben (1959)
If you don’t mind Spanish subtitles, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxjPEwUAN7Y
I am referring to You Light Up My Life. Sorry I forgot to put the title in my initial reply.
Thank you, Gabrielle. No need for You Light Up My Life now, Jon. I’ll request Hours for Jerome Parts 1 and 2 (1982) now, along with Serengeti Shall Not Die / Serengeti Darf Nicht Sterben (1959). Thanks!
You’re welcome!
So I have found Serengeti Shall Not Die / Serengeti Darf Nicht Sterben (1959), but unfortunately I have been unable to locate English subtitles for it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Brenan.
Sorry but can’t find any subs for the German film, maybe in the future.
If you have other requests feel free to post.
Best,

Jon, do you, or anyone else, know where to find an Italian film Attack and Retreat (1964) aka: Italiani brava gente, either English dubbed or subbed?

Hi Jon and all at Rarefilmm!
A recent request of a Jeffrey Hunter movie got me thinking about the TV series he made in 1963-1964 called Temple Houston. While the pilot was released as The Man From Galveston, I can found nothing online to suggest that the full series is available anywhere. I wondered if any of the wonderful Rarefilmm wizards might know anything? Thanks!
Hi Relle.
Sorry I couldn’t find much about that series and it seems highly unlikely that episodes will show up any time soon but I’ll keep looking.
If you have any other requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
I’m looking for the 1970 Jean-Luc Godard film Pravda. It is not on YouTube. It was not part of a recent Region 1 box set devoted to Godard & Gorin films. It is available on a locked Region 2 French DVD as part of a set (see below) and I imagine KG and similar sites may have it as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Jean-Luc-Godard-Collection-13-Films/dp/B008R3JN3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525297348&sr=8-1&keywords=pravda+godard

Hunter in Holland (1961)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167613/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Wait Until Dark (1982)
A tv-movie remake of the Audrey Hepburn film with Katherine Ross.

Thank you so much! As an avid rare-movie lover I’ll restrain myself to two a month and highly appreciate all posted. 🙂

https://ok.ru/video/345951570574
The running time on this copy seems to be significantly shorter than the film’s advertised running time.
That’s the only copy that appears to be floating around, not sure why there is a difference in the running time.
Hi there. Here are 2 for you to research for me. Thanks for any help you can provide, even if you can’t find them to post. I believe both fit within the criteria you request. Cheers. Both are personal gems I have not seen in decades or found anywhere to access.

Hi Jon, Thanks for putting the site back up! I really appreciate the work you do and love the selection on here!
I’ve been really interested in seeing Edward Yang’s whole filmography, but A Confucian Confusion (1994) and Mahjong (1996) are really hard to find in English in decent prints. I know there are some prints available on YouTube, but they are so rough that they aren’t watchable. Any chance you have a watchable version of either with English subtitles?
Thanks so much for your help.
Hi Alex.
I posted “Mahjong” about 2 weeks ago, I will upload “A Confucian Confusion” soon, probably next week, stay tuned!
Best,
Jon.

Hi Jon, thanks for Die Wildente AKA The Wild Duck upload – it’s the best version of the play I’ve seen, it’s a real gem. Any chance you have The Iceman Cometh – the TV version from 1960 with Jason Robards, not the 1973 version with Lee Marvin? That would be top dollar. Thanks agin for TWD upload.
Hi Darren.
Glad you enjoyed “The Wild Duck”.

No luck with my previous requests (THE WAY TO THE GOLD, COUNT FIVE AND DIE), I guess.
So here are a few more:
THE TEMPEST (1958), a Paramount/De Laurentiis production directed by Alberto Lattuada with Van Heflin and Silvana Mangano, isn’t available anywhere except a P/S Spanish DVD. Any chance you can get the widescreen original?
THE MAN WHO WAGGED HIS TAIL (1958) or UN ANGELO E SCESO A BROOKLYN or
UN ANGEL PASO POR BROOKLYN. with Peter Ustinov. This Italo-Spanish production directed by ladislao Vajda hasn’t been seen since.
Thanks!
Hi Dan.
No luck with “The Tempest” I will add it to the wanted films list.
I have a copy of “Un Ángel Paso por Brooklyn” but there’s no subs, I’ll see if I can work on them since I know Spanish but it’s going to take some time.
If you have more requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
What an amazing site. Many many thanks. But a question…. I had a bookmarked link here for the film “Where’s Charley”…. and I remember watching most of it and now it has disappeared. Any info?
Was that the old site, Wade? If so, Jon has not uploaded all the previous films from that site yet, but he’s adding them periodically., so that one should return
Coming back in a few days. Stay tuned!
Hi I was wondering if you have Frontier Badmen (1943) and The Daltons Ride Again (1945)?
Hi Callum.
I only have “Frontier Badmen”, will upload it next week.
Best,
Jon.
El Amor Brujo 1967 Spanish with English subtitles
Symphony of a Massacre 1963 France with English subtitles
No luck with “El Amor Brujo” for now.
“Sympohy of a Massacre” is available on Region Free bluray with English subtitles:

Hi. I love this site. Can you upload a copy of Raggedy Ann and Andy A Musical Adventure from 1977? It’s never been on dvd except as grey market copies from vhs tapes. I would love to see it here and I think lots of people would enjoy seeing it. Thank you.
Hi Luis.
I have this one, I assume you want the original widescreen version? Let me know.
Best,
Jon.
I would like to request Ladies Must Love(Four Wise Girls)-1933, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024237/
No luck with this one, Steve but I’ll add it to the list of wanted films.
Best,
Jon.
Hi
Can you find the miniseries ‘Private Crimes’ (1993)?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103398/
or
the movie ‘Blood Church’ (1985)?
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/355280-blood-church
No luck with those two, sorry.
Hello again, Jon! Thanks for all the great uploads over these past few days, Some good stuff, You certainly have a gift for finding the obscurest films! Can’t wait for Les dernières vacances (1948)!! But one film I’m curious about is, Christopher Bean (1933). It doesn’t seem to be lost, yet it seems next to impossible to find anywhere. Can you possibly track it down?
Hey JW.
No luck with “Christopher Bean”, sorry, seems like a real rarity, will add it to the wanted films list.
If you have any other requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
Been looking for these 2 films for awhile without any luck.
THE SHRIKE (1955) 88 minutes, directed by Jose Ferrer (he only directed 7 films)
EDITHS TAGEBUCH/EDITH’S DIARY (1984) Germany 102 minutes, directed by Hans W. Geissendorfer (could not find English Subtitles version, only German audio)
Thanks
The Shrike is on YT, Michael – https://youtu.be/iZxwtCW_eRk
I saw that on Tube and not happy with the quality. Hoping that Jon may have a better copy. thank you Vlad
Well, that film was on the old site, and I believe the quality was better, so I think Jon will add it again down the road.
thanks Vlad. patients in my middle name. I will wait for Jon to uploaded again.
Michael,
My copy of “The Shrike” is exactly the same as the one on Youtube I’m afraid so there will not be any difference if I upload it.
Can’t find any subs for Ediths Tagebuch either, sorry.
If you would like to request other films feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
I would like to request Beauty Parlor (1932).
I have this one, coming soon!
Hi there,
Can anyone please upload: “The Hot Spot” (1990) in Full Screen (4:3)
Hi Noor.
“The Hot Spot” is available on Bluray on a double feature with “Killing Me Softly” https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Spot-Killing-Softly-Blu-ray/dp/B00CPTUO1Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1534398537&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Hot+Spot+Dennis+Hopper
If you have any other requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
I’m looking for this movie in Full Screen (4:3) version, the released DVDs and Bluray formats contain the Wide Screen version which actually cuts a great amount of picture from the Top and the Bottom. (Only VHS and Laser Discs contain the original 4:3 version).
Hi,
Looking for these two very rare films
ARAKURE aka ROUGHNECK (1969): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391762/
Furenzoku satsujin jiken aka CASE OF THE DISJOINTED MURDER (1977): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367763/
Thank you so much,
JXS
Hi Jason.
I only have “Furenzoku satsujin jiken” but no subs for it and seems unlikely they will be released anytime soon.
If you would like to request other films feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
Hi. Great collections you have here. Been lookin’ this movie for a while now, The Ascent (1994, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109157). Is there any chance you have it?

Hello Jon,
Your site has really improved my life and I can’t thank you enough for it.
You already have that Holy Grail ‘Renaldo & Clara’ on your Wanted list and have already uploaded ‘The Last Movie’, another elusive picture that’s eluded me down the years, but there are still so many so I’ll add two that come to my mind…
The first is ‘Gangway’ (1937), starring the wonderful Jessie Mathews. This was once on YouTube but vanished before I could watch it. It’s not the rarest of her films but I’d love to see it after watching the clip of Jessie singing the title number (which remains on YouTube) time after time after time…
The second I will perhaps regret, as ‘Inchon’ (1981) is regarded as one of the worst films of all time. However, with that reputation, no VHS or DVD release and Sir Laurence Olivier in it, I consider it a must-see!
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for your invaluable site.
Your friend,
Barton Young
There is a low-quality version of ‘Inchon’ up on YT if you’re interested, Barton – https://youtu.be/EqpsPjLTzWo Jon may have a better quality copy.
Thank you Vlad!
And Internet Archives has a copy of Gangway (1937) – https://archive.org/details/Gangway1937
But unfortunately the picture is black.. You could try to leave a comment to let them know, or perhaps it’s only a temporary glitch.
Thank you Vlad!
Hey Barton.
“Gangway” is on DVD on a legit release from VCI:
https://www.vcientertainment.com/GANGWAY
I will try to find a slightly better copy of “Inchon”, only difference will be a better resolution, print is the same.
Best,
Jon.
hi. i think i was here many years ago.
First of all i’d like to make a defence of Veehd. i have downloaded and streamed much from there. The people there are very nice, and i doubt that they have anything to do with the program you mention. i know the one you are talking about.
Here is the thing about Veehd now. It ain’t working ; you cannot download, or stream from it. it’s been an issue for a while.
When it was working, as far as I’m aware, unregistered users could download, but trying to stream brought up a message about getting the program you refer to;
If you registered, then you shouldn’t see the ad for that program.
I have many request. hoping you will be able to help with some.
Here are two.
The Adventurerers (1995)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112772/
cap canaille (1983)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085290/
Query. Is there a cutoff year for requests?
Martin,
I only have “The Adventurerers” (1995) with subtitles, I will upload it next week.
Yes there is a cutoff for requests, only movies released before 2004 (2003 limit).
Best,
Jon.
Do you have any Maria Montez movies? I am especially interested in viewing Tangier (1946). Many thanks.
Hi Gary.
I have “Tangier”, I will upload it next week.
Best,
Jon.
Thanks Jon!
By the way, I really enjoyed “Deported” with Jeff Chandler.
Hi Jon,
I am requesting the following two movies depending on their availability.
The Sword Of Ali Baba 1965 & Just Across The Street 1952
Many Thanks
Hi Johno.
I only have “The Sword Of Ali Baba”, I will upload it next week.
Best,
Jon.
ANY DOROTHY MACKAILL SILENT FILMS ? NOT SHORE LEAVE OR RANSOMS FOLLY. ESPECIALLY THE BARKER, IT DOES EXIST, A SILENT/SOUND. A GREAT DOUBLE FEATURE WOULD BE PAIRING IT WITH HOOPLA. CLARA BOW’S VERSION OF SAME FILM. BOTH MACKAILL AND BOW WAMPAS BABY STARS 1924.
Sorry Clara I don’t have any other silents from Dorothy besides those two that you mention, I will see if I can find them but seems quite unlikely to be honest, sorry.
Best,
Jon.
Trying to find Missing Witnesses (1937) and The Last Ride (1944) with Eleanor Parker. Also wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of two shorts: Andy Hardy’s Dilemma (1940) and Angel of Mercy (1939) which was also re-released in 1942 as Flag of Mercy? Both have Ann Rutherford in them. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sophia.

All the best,
Jon.
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1972)

I don’t live in America.
Hi Willy.
I have both films, coming soon!
Hello Jon,

Thanks!
I have a copy of My Twentieth Century if Jon can’t find a copy he can contact me.
Hi Agnes.
I can only upload “Boon bin yen”, which is a VCD rip so quality is not great but it seems that a DVD doesn’t even exist of this film.
“My Twentieth Century” is available on region-free Bluray w/eng. subtitles:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/My-20th-Century-Blu-ray/173574/

Hi,
D’you have this short?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413305/
Hi Dan.
Yes, I have it, I will upload it next week.
Best,
Jon.
I had given up on seeing the return of this site. It is good to be wrong sometimes.
I would like to request:
“Nutty, Naughty Chateau” (1963)
“L’Atlantide” (1992)
I am also trying to remember the name of a movie I watched on the old site. I think it was made in the 1970s, of Latin American origin – possibly Colombian, Peruvian or Argentinean. It was some kind of religious/political parable, very surreal, and featured classical music. I distinctly recall a scene set to a Strauss waltz with football players in an incongruous setting. I do not wish to see it again, but not knowing the name is driving me mad! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many, many thanks for your efforts.
Hi Laszlo.
No luck with your requests unfortunately, actually I have both films but no eng. subs for them, if you would like to see them anyway let me know and I’ll post the links here.
And about the film you are talking about it’s probably this one?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSLf14aUHpA
Glad you didn’t give up on rarefilmm, I am working hard to make it even better than what it was before. Thanks for the support.
Best,
Jon.
That was indeed the film I was trying to remember! Ginormous thanks!
As to my requests, thank you for your kind offer, but I will wait. Maybe someday my English subtitles will come…..
You are doing great work. My only further request is that you continue in the best of health for as long as possible. Thank you!
May I kindly request if you can upload the following movies produced by Universal Pictures?
– Rio (1939)
– When Johnny Comes Marching Home (1942)
– The Prince Who Was a Thief (1951)
– Everything but the Truth (1956)
– Man Afraid (1957)

Is there any chance of you finding The End of August starring Lilia Skala, David Marshall Grant, and Paul Shenar from 1982? It’s definitely an obscure one, but I’d love it if I could see it again.
Also, in keeping with my theme of adaptations of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, could you possibly find Grand Isle starring Kelly McGillis from 1991?
Hi Gabrielle.
Sorry I don’t have those two at the moment but I’ll add them to the wanted films list.
Best,
Jon.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the effort. Welcome back and thanks for all the amazing films you share with us!
Would love to see THE BARBER OF STAMFORD HILL (1962) again.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168484/
If you’re in the UK, you can watch here: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-barber-of-stamford-hill-1962-online
Sorry David, I don’t have this one.
I discovered your site about 3 months before you had to shut down, and I am so glad to find it back again. I have been looking for “The Valiant” 1929 with Paul Muni. If you could get this, it would be great as I have managed to see everything else of his (that I’m aware of).
Thanks, and welcome back
Here’s a link to The Valiant: https://ok.ru/video/1232766372496
Thanks, Gabrielle. I actually watched it just after I posted my request – still think it’s a marvelous movie. Now if I could only capture it on a DVD for my collection!!
Hope you find a way to do that soon!
If I could submit my requests for the month–I’m looking for Tarnished Angel (1938) and Pretty Ladies (1925). Thanks again!
Hi Sophia.
I think I can get these two will try my best.
Best,
Jon.
Do you have a good print of “THAT KIND OF WOMAN” starring the late Tab Hunter? Thank you!

As the weather is getting cold here, a good long Swedish documentary can warm me up. I have been searching (without any luck) a 1988 documentary , the 185 minutes version of LAND OF DREAMS/ SAGOLANDET, directed by Jan Troell. Thanks Jon. Hope all is well
Hi Michael.
I have this one, coming soon!

If you have other requests feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.
Hello! On the old site you had a great copy of “Interlude” with June Allyson. Any chance of uploading that again?
Here you go, Ernest – https://ok.ru/video/902188501646
Interlude will be coming back next week.
Best,
Jon.
Thanks so much for this wonderful website. Any chance of finding Anna Karina’s directorial debut Vivre ensemble?
Also, on an admittedly lesser note, it seems very hard now to find Richard Brooks’ last film Fever Pitch.
Not sure if this is any help, but Fever Pitch is available on VHS and Vivre ensemble on a seemingly region-free DVD but those are sometimes a hassle to work.
Hi Sophia – thanks for replying. Where do you find the region-free DVD for Vivre ensemble? I am not that accomplished a researcher I guess…
(Unfortunately I don’t have the technology to watch VHS any more either – this is the first time in years I had any reason to regret that!)
There’s always one that slips by you! I found it on Amazon! Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.fr/ensemble-%C3%89dition-Digibook-Collector-Blu-ray/dp/B073DNH8ZY
It’s in French; I’m not sure where you are but when I googled it it let me translate the page.
Yes, I agree, sometimes I miss VHS
Just to let Jack know, that Bluray doesn’t include any subtitles, in case you were considering buying it.
I have this film but I don’t have subtitles for it either, however, it seems that soon there will be people working on them, I say in about 20-30 days they will be probably released, as soon as they are available I’ll upload the film here with subs.
Thanks Jon, I’m certainly glad I asked.
Her other film Victoria seems even harder to find, although unfortunately it is too recent to fit the designated criteria (maybe in seven years….?)
Hello John I’m new to your site but have to say very very impressive. So here’s a challenge: the “Britalian” release “A Tale of Five Cities” (1951) – Bonar Colleano/Gina Lollobrigida/Evar Bartok … the original 86-min UK release please, not the butchered 82-min one that seems the only one generally available and which appears sometimes on TV courtesy of those very nice ladies and gentlemen at Talking Pictures. I heard a rumour that the Italian version is in fact a magnificent 95-mins. However; you’ll probably need to to the Italian Job to get your hands on that! Thanks and intrigued to get your thoughts…
Hi Jon, Since you took a little time away I thought perhaps my previous requests might have gotten lost in the shuffle since you never said if you were able to find them or not, so I thought I’d try again.
1948’s The Decision of Christopher Blake with Alexis Smith
and
1946’s Swell Guy with Ann Blyth, Ruth Warrick and Sonny Tufts.
Thanks!!!
Hi Joel.
I will try to get ‘The Decision of Christopher Blake’.
No luck with the other one.
Best,
Jon.
I would love to find these films:
Notorious Sophie Lang (1934)
Sophie Lang Goes West (1937)
I found a copy of Notorious Sophie Lang, so just looking for Sophie Lang Goes West now.
Thanks.
Hey John.
Sorry, I don’t have that one, I will add it to the list of wanted films.
Best,
Jon.
Do you have “Just This Once” (1952) with Peter Lawford and Janet Leigh? I have been trying to find it for the past three years… 🙂
Hi Anna.
Yes, I have this one, coming soon!
Best,
Jon.
Hello Jon,
Your site remains fantastic. Thank you. I love it.
I wonder were you able to pin down my request of the wonderful Jessie Matthews in Gangway?
Here’s hoping, with thanks,
Barton
Hi barton,
i have a excellant copy of gangway .
send me your e-mail an i send it through .
paul
Hello Paul,
Thank you very much for this kind response!
My email is mjbarton1976@gmail.com
Can’t wait!
Barton
Just my opinion, but films I have I have offered to send to Jon to post, so that other people who might be interested can also get them. Since Jon is willing to take films that way and post them here, I think that is a better way to share films rather than sending them directly. We all benefit by sharing films in a central location.
Makes more sense for all, and the site.
Like I already said in an older post ‘Gangway’ is available on an official DVD so I can’t post it, sorry.
https://www.vcientertainment.com/GANGWAY
How about “Mr. Patman” with James Coburn and “Mr. Sycamore” with Jason Robards
You can find Mr. Sycamore on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NEDHSaVkIU
Mr. Patman coming soon!
Cry For Me, Billy (1972) …. not on YouTube, or anywhere else that I can find!

No luck with those two Willy, sorry!
So happy to discover your back! I am looking for Chain Gang (1984). I have it on PAL VHS, but alas, I live in a world of NTSC.
Hey Shane.
Sorry, no luck with this one.
If you are looking for other films feel free to post.
Best,
Jon.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105222/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Hello Jon—Let me add to the chorus of praise for this incredible site. I have just scrolled past 10-12 movies I have long wanted to see (top of the list—To Die in Madrid and Dear John). Requests—could you find English-subtitled versions of The Shameless Old Lady (1965) and And Now My Love (1974)? Both are online but in French only. Great thanks for what is already here.
If Jon doesn’t have it, I have a copy of The Shameless Old Lady (1965) with English subs I can send him.
Hi Nick.
I have both films, coming probably within the next 12-15 days, stay tuned!.
Best,
Jon.
Maybe you have:

– Quick Money (1937)
Hi Vince.
I have both but I will start with “Quick Money”, will upload it in 12-15 days, stay tuned!
Best,

Hi Jim.
I have a copy of that one, not the greatest quality but looks watchable, I’ll try to upload it next week.
Best,
Jon.
Hi Jon,
I was wondering if you could locate a copy of Wild Harvest (1947) starring Alan Ladd and Dorothy Lamour. Aside from two eight minute clips, I can’t seem to find this film in its entirety. Thanks!
Hi Diana.
Yes, I have this one, stay tuned!
Best,
Jon.
Seconding the request for “Over the Brooklyn Bridge” 1984 dir by Menahem Golan with Elliott Gould & Margaux Hemingway, never released on DVD.

Thanks John
Here’s a copy, Michael – https://ok.ru/video/1260284545680
Thank you Vlad, just downloaded the film and a good copy. Must admit you are a great asset to Jon.
Hello, I am looking for two films:
(1) An English-subtitled version of Louis-Ferdinand Céline with Denis Lavant: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4625536/
(2) The World and the Flesh with Miriam Hopkins: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023709/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_46
Thank you so much for all your posting…. some truly wonderful films…
Hi Ploeb.
I have a copy of “The World and The Flesh”, it’s not very good quality but since it’s a very rare film I guess it’s better than nothing, I will upload it soon.
And I don’t upload films released after 2003 so I can’t upload the other one, sorry.
Best,
Jon.
Hey Jon, I’m just now finding that you’re back — so happy to see it! There were a few films I wanted to see on your old site but didn’t get a chance to, and since then I have not been able to find them elsewhere. I still have that list and will start my requests there, as hopefully you won’t have to look too far to find them. The first two:
1. Oi paranomoi / The Outlaws (1958), dir. by Nikos Koundouros
2. Rysopis / Identification Marks: None (1965), dir. by Jerzy Skolimowski
Hai, can you upload Hapax Legomena IV: Travelling Matte (1971)
Hello! I’ve been looking for The Friends (Natsu no Niwa, 1994) for a while now, can you locate it? Thanks in advance!
I think I just found it on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lUAy1DycLU
no subtitles, tho :/
I did find a link for subtitles : https://www.english-subtitles.cc/movie-subtitles/1994-natsu-no-niwa.html
Hello –
I, too, would love to have subtitles for Verbena Tragica.
Thanks!
Stumbled on your revitalized site yesterday. What a welcome discovery! Immediately found (and watched) two items from my movie bucket list (“The Fighting O’Flynn” and “My Daughter Joy”). Here are two more that have eluded me for years:
“The Gallant Blade”(1948-Larry Parks)
“When a Girl’s Beautiful”(1947-Adele Jergens)
Hoping you might have access to them.
Thanks
Hi Jon, any chance you have the Korean movie – Geu seome gago shibda/To the Starry Island (1993)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107005/
Thanks so much!
Hi Jon,
Would you see if you can find a couple D.W. Griffith films?
Lena and the Geese (1912)
Iola’s Promise (1912)
This outfit has both but I think his prices are unfair for unrestored films:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/DVD-Mary-Pickford-Rare-Shorts-disc-I-1909-1912/132403107726?hash=item1ed3d7178e:g:mSQAAOSwH-daD5sw
Most of the other films on the DVD are easy to find on YouTube which is where he probably got them.
HI JON I have a request for 2 Nazi era films but only with ENGLISH SUBS if possible
1 GLUCKSKINDER 1936 staring LILIAN HARVEY this is the Nazi IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT 1934 starring gable and Colbert

I thank you JON for the great work you doing bringing joy to good movie lovers
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063789/

I have two requests for you: HEAD AGAINST THE WALL (1959): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052328/
THE SERPENT’S TALE (1995): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110242/
Thanks!!!
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.

Hi, do you have “Smart Woman” (1948) and “Private Information” (1952). Thank you
Here’s Smart Woman (1948), Adam – https://ok.ru/video/983235365395
Hi Jon,
Do you have any old B/W movies that have been colorized in your collection ?
Anything in particular you’re looking for? I could link a few, if you’re interested. Here’s King Kong colorized – https://ok.ru/video/798474898162 – the stop motion plays better in B&W.
Hi Vlad,
Any Western or War movies would be great Thank You.
“La Pupa del Gangster” (1975) with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni has never been released with English subtitles… would love to see it one day.
Also “Rene la canne” with Sylvia Kristel and Gerard Dapardieu… it’s never been subtitled into English.
Thanks!
Hi Jon,
Thanks for locating THE THIRD VOICE and perhaps working on subtitles for UN ANGEL PASO POR BROOKLYN. Much appreciated.
Sidney Lumet’s first film, A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE (1960), is only available in a unwatchable truncated print. Any chance of getting the real thing?
Also
LE RENDEZ VOUS DE MINUIT (Roger Leenhardt, 1962)
SECTION DES DISPARUS (Pierre Chenal, 1956)
LES CANAILLES (Maurice Labro, 1960)
LIBERTE SURVEILLEE (Vladimir Voltchek, 1958)
LE VENT SE LEVE (Yves Ciamnpi, 1959)
Thanks Jon !
Will be looking for the Subterraneans !
Also looking for the LBX versions of:: Split Image 1982 ( Peter Fonda ) , Open Season 1974 ( Peter Fonda ) , Hawken’s Breed 1987 ( Peter Fonda )
Caper Of The Golden Bulls 1968 ( Stephen Boyd )
CHEERS !
My mistake – A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE was NOT Lumet’s debut film, but it’s still worth it!
Dear Jon,
I just wanted to welcome you back and let you know, that my eyes filled with tears this morning, when I saw that you’ve managed to find LES VIOLONS DU BAL 🙂 THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART 🙂
ps Is Marie du Port no longer available. I cannot connect to it?
