Requests (now open!)
Hey guys,
Feel free to write in the comments below which movies you would like me to add on the site.
Remember I can’t just upload any movie, there’s a number of “rules” that I need you guys to follow in order to “green light” a film, they are the following:
- No Region 1 DVD/Bluray of the said film is available to purchase online, if the movie that you want was released on DVD at some point but it’s currently out of print you can still request it but make sure to check not only Amazon but also eBay and see how many copies are out there for purchase, if you are unsure you can request it and I’ll give you an answer.
- For British films only make sure the film isn’t available on Region 2 DVD otherwise I will not upload it.
- The movie was released before the year 2006 (2005 is the limit).
- For foreign films I will only upload titles that are not available on Region 1 DVD, if the movie was released on DVD or Bluray but only in the film’s country of origin and without English subtitles then you can request it, if there is a Region 2/B release for such film with subtitles make sure it’s region locked (should say on the back) and not region free (AKA Region 0), in those cases I will not upload them.
- Also, make sure the film you want isn’t already available on Youtube (or if it is there it has to be a low quality copy), it takes me a lot of time to look for and upload each film and to end up seeing 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’re looking for is listed there it means I don’t have it.
- NEW Last and probably most important rule, I will NOT be uploading films where any of the studios mentioned up next have been involved in the production and/or distribution of the requested film: NBCUniversal and all its subsidiaries, WarnerMedia (including everything from the pre-May 1986 MGM library), HBO, Turner Entertainment Networks, RKO Radio Pictures, Monogram Pictures, Cannon Group, Milestone Films, Gaumont, Pathé & StudioCanal (including Canal+, StudioCanal UK and Arthaus). For this you can check sites like IMDb specifically in the “Company Credits” part, click on “See More” and it will show you the production and distribution companies involved in the film, if you are unsure you can always ask and I will tell you yes or no.
This last rule I just added I’m a bit bummed about it not gonna lie I hate having to do this and believe me I would love to be able to upload as many movies as possible for you guys but after all the issues and complaints this year that forced me to take the site offline I have no choice, I don’t even know if this will be enough for the copyright trolls to leave me alone to be honest but I’ve run out of ideas so please, if you’d like to see rarefilmm stay online I ask you dearly to follow the rules, let’s hope for the best, I think we will be fine from now on, fingers crossed!
1 request per user please, you may include a second film as an alternative if you think I might not have the first one.
Thanks.
Jon.
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.

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?
The film is called Bahia (1976) Directed by Marcel Camus
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073521/?ref_=rvi_tt
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.
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.
“Short Letter to the Long Goodbye” (Der kurze Brief zum langen Abschied) (1978)
West Germany
Directed by Herbert Vesely.
Starring Geraldine Chaplin, Alexandra Hay, and Thomas Astan
From the novel by Peter Handke
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204439/
Can’t remember for certain but I think this film used to be on here but it isn’t anymore. I am looking for “Johnny Trouble” (1957) with Carolyn Jones and Ethel Barrymore. I have been searching for this film but have had no luck. Maybe you can find it. Thank you so much for putting all of the time and effort into getting this site back up again.
The movie The Fall is based on (The Fall itself, while difficult to find, is not impossible) is a Bulgarian film called Yo Ho Ho from 1981. Can’t find it anywhere but would love to see it
Museum Highlights: A Gallery Talk (1989) dir. Andrea Fraser

Hello Jon, welcome back and thanks for all this amazing work! I have some requests.
Firefly (2000), directed by Naomi Kawase.
Body and Soul (1997), directed by Haruhiko Arai.
Kagiganai (2005), directed by Eiji Yamada.
I second the Kawase. For such a major filmmaker, many of her works are very elusive in the west. I’ve only heard about this one through the Midnight Eye blog
Hi and great to have you back. Requesting Residence For Spies 1966 with subtitles. Appreciated.
Hey Jon, glad to see the website up and running again! I have too many requests to count, but since you requested 1 per user I’ll have to abide. I think the movie I’m looking for the hardest is Kidlat Tahimik’s “Who Invented the Yo-Yo? Who Invented the Moon Buggy?” As an alternative, based on the fact that you previously uploaded Before the Truth, I hope you have more Vojislav Rakonjac films available, mostly Zazidani (The Walled In). Thanks for all your hard work keeping this site running, it’s a real life saver.
Thank you for the amazing work Jon! This is a godsend of a tool.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Marcel Hanoun’s work – I see you have La Nuit Claire, but I should mention his seminal:
L’Ete (1968)
L’Hiver (1969)
Une simple histoire (1959)
If you have any luck with these!
Hi Jon,
Great to have you back. I would really appreciate if you uploaded Parsifal (1982) by Hans-Jurgen Syberberg.
Or alternatively Hanna Amon (1951) by Veit Harlan.
Many Thanks!
Apologies I’ve just realised Parsifal was co-produced by Gaumont, so disregard that and I’ll just request Hanna Amon please.
Great to have the site back. Thanks!
A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era (1957) by Yūzō Kawashima
Nice to see you back! My request, and this might be an odd choice, but the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie has to be it. It is literally not available on any streaming service. It’s not available to rent on YouTube, there is no Region A Blu-Ray (there is a Region B, but it’s unplayable in USA), and the film is not owned by any of your listed studios. It was produced by Hollywood Pictures & Lightmotive.
Hollywood Pictures= Disney. This title can’t be uploaded here. It might be OOP now, but it’s extremely common
I would love “Waati” ( 1995). Thank you very kindly.

Mandragola (1966)

Aspern (1982, Eduardo de Gregorio) please.
Thank you very much for reopening the requests list. It’s great seeing you back with the site and new movies! Here’s a short list of what I think would be a great addition to the site:

Thanks again!
Hi Jon,
I’m looking for two movies with Dana Andrews:
– No diamonds for Ursula (the English dubbed version of ‘I diamanti che nessuno voleva rubare’) (1967)
– Prince Jack (1985)
Thanks in advance if you have any of these.
Marc
Welcome back, again!
I would like to see:
FACE TO FACE (1976) Ingmar Bergman’s 177 minute 4 part television version.
there’s a crummy copy on YouTube without English subs. and neither that original cut nor the roughly 2-hour theatrical were included in Criterion’s recent Bergman set.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for all your hard work! So happy that you’re back.
Would it be possible to request Kaneto Shindo’s Tree Without Leaves? I can’t find it anywhere!

Hi Jon, Great to have you back to give us some winter cheer!
Caravan aka Caravane (1934) by Erik Charell.
This is the version with Charles Boyer and Annabella, not to be confused with the film of the same name and year with Charles Boyer and Loretta Young.
My alternate is the Marcel Pagnol film, Jofroi also made in 1934.
I think the problem with both of these may be about finding find English subtitles.
Welcome back! Could you find Rosa Von Praunheim’s 1992 film “I Am My Own Woman” (Ich bin meine eigene Frau). I found it on youtube years ago but the uploader took it down and now I can’t find it anywhere.
Another request is Haile Gerima’s 1982 film “Ashes and Embers” which has elduded me for years and can’t find it purchasable anywhere.

It has come to my attention that a rip of the 1985 documentary Yama – Attack to Attack has shown up in some circles online. It’s about labour protestors in Japanese cities and it resulted in both of the film’s directors being murdered for their art.
I would like to humbly request this film, as it sounds like an important and underseen work that should probably be made more available. I imagine that’s what the filmmakers would have wanted.
Thank you.

I would love to see any of Haneke’s early TV movies. This one, for example:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088389/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_19
Wer war Edgar Allan? (1984)
backup:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102313/
The Linguini Incident (1991)
Call Her Savage
To Mr, Adam movie-CALL HER SAVAGE (1932). Clara Bow, Gilbert Roland …please click on this link…..https://ok.ru/video/408178985712
Welcome back!
Movie I’m looking for is:
A Year of the Quiet Sun (1984) (Rok spokojnego slonca)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088009/
Update:
I found the movie on YouTube. Didn’t look hard enough 😀

Welcome back! It’s so good to see you back providing such rare gems to people, like myself, who has a difficult time getting them because either they don’t show them on tv anymore, they aren’t available on DVD, or worse yet, they aren’t in their region, and speaking of such.
I am looking for a movie if you have it, or if you can possibly get it. The movie is called The Journalist-https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079374/ . It’s a 1979 Australian movie staring Sam Neill in it.
It’s only available in a region 4, to purchase, and on Vimeo, you can only get it if you are in Australia, or New Zealand. I’m in the USA with a region 1 DVD player. The movie is produced by Umbrella Entertainment, so I don’t know if that’s going to be a problem, or not for you.
Anyways, if you can get it, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you so much for providing such rare movies which would otherwise be lost in the mists of time. Thank you.
Bonne Nuit (1999) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3430280/
this is a film I have had zero luck trying to find, one of Matthew McConaughey’s early credits. Crossing my fingers you might be able to work your magic here.
In my previous comment, the film I requested falls under the new rule change so it wont work.
Another Film I’m curious about is called Hi Honey – I’m Dead (1991) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102031/?ref_=ttco_co_tt
There is a version of it on YouTube but the audio and picture are not in sync and the english subtitles are not accurate,
Hi Jon such a joy to have you back any chance of finding:
A Citys Child (1971)
Marco (1973)
Cane River 1982
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318346/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Good to have you back, your site is an incredible resource.
Here is my request:
The Hong Kong film, Thou Shalt Not Swear [七月十四 / A.K.A / 七月十四:不見不散.] (1993). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107904/ // http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=7626&display_set=eng
If you can’t find this, my second choice is its sequel, The Third Full Moon {
正月十五之一生一世} (1994). http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=7833&display_set=eng // https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111830/
Hi Jon, Glad to see you’re back online! Any chance of finding ARRUZA (1972) by Budd Boetticher? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Thanks!
Hello I never made any requests here before but I’m looking for various Colombian films. I’m from there and can speak spanish so I don’t need any subtitles in fact it be better without any cause it can get distracting. Anyway I have found many on youtube but there’s still many I can’t find or are on there in extremely bad quality or dubbed in english.
The following films are the ones I’m looking for mind you all the titles are in spanish if you need an wiki or imdb page I’ll try and help you out with links to any but anyway here goes: Canaguaro 1981 (on youtube but horrible quality), La agonia del difunto 1981, El dia de las Mercedes 1985, Mariposas S.A. 1986, Milagro en Roma 1989, Con su musica a otra Parte 1983, Funeral siniestro 1977, Area maldita 1979, 27 horas con la muerte 1981, Triángulo de oro aka La isla fantasma 1984, Extraña regresión 1985 (this one is on youtube but dubbed in english), La boda del acordeonista 1986 (sometimes label as 1)coming out im 1985 or 1988), Técnicas de Duelo 1988 (on youtube but terrible quality), Pasado el meridiano 1967, Bolivar so Yo 2002 (on youtube bad quality), El embajador de la India 1986, Golpe de estadio 1998, Te Busco 2002, Todo está oscuro 1997, De amores y delitos: Amores ilícitos 1995, Ayer me echaron del pueblo 1982, El taxista millonario 1979, Un hombre y una mujer con suerte 1988, Caín 1984, Colombia Connection 1979, Pisingaña 1986 (on youtube horrible quality), and Los niños invisibles 2001.
Sorry I asked for so many I just thought I’d take the advantage to ask as many as possible since the first time I found this site it was taken down 3 weeks later. Hopefully you can eventually find all of them. Oh by the way some of these are on youtube but not blocked in my counrty and I used a vpn and went through 40 countries but no luck with any of them but if they are in yours please let me know to see if my vpn will work if I set it to you country.
Last but not least I want to thank you for this site and for all the uploads you do. Right now I do not have any financial way to show my appreciation and I don’t when I will have any but if I ever do I will donate as much possible to make sure this site stay up. Thank you for everything and have a nice day.

First, I sincerely thank you for the hard work and time you invest in this website. Don’t ever doubt that you are appreciated by many.
Second, I have been searching for umpteen years for the movie “The Women’s Room” 1980 starring Lee Remick. If you either have it and can post it or let me know where I can purchase a copy of this movie, I would be grateful. Perhaps you have resources that I am not aware of that offer older movies for sale.
This is the IMDB url: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081771/
Thank you
Anne Casey
Jon …Please tell Anne Casey THE WOMEN’s ROOM (1980) can be purchased on DVD from TRUETVMOVIES.net for $18.98 plus more if Art-work is requested, I have purchased a DVD this year from this Website …THE F.B.I. STORY: THE FBI VERSUS ALVIN KARPIS, PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE (1974)….purchased earlier this year……https://www.truetvmovies.net/store/p2730/_The_Women's_Room_(1980)_Patty_Duke_Lee_Remick,Tyne_Daly,Mare_Winningham,.html
Dear Matthias … Mwaaaaaaaa Thanks you.
P.S. I still think this movie would make a great addition to the rarefilmm website!
The Groaning Drain (2004). Japanese horror film based on a manga, only available on Region 2 DVD and VHS
https://mydramalist.com/33627-the-groaning-drain
Welcome back!
It’s really a treasure trove you’ve put together and I can’t wait to start running through these films. Thank you so much!
My request is the following: Cowboy in Sweden by Torbjörn Axelman. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and have been meaning to watch it for sometime seeing as I love its accompanying album by Lee Hazlewood.
This is the IMDB URL:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0201545/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Best of luck with your search and keep up the great work.
I don’t believe Jon will be able to post this as it was released in 2013 as part of the Lee Hazlewood cd/dvd box set ‘There’s A Dream I’ve Been Saving: Lee Hazlewood Industries 1966-1971’, which is fortunately still available to buy!
Thank you for informing me about this James. I was oblivious to said fact.
Please upload Crush 1992
Request: Athens, Return to the acropolis (1983)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0205753/
So, so happy to have you back! My request is The Final War of Olly Winter (1967), an American television film. Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, but not commercially available
Melancholia (1989)

my requests is Man and Wife (1923) and after midnight (1927)
A SEASON IN HELL (1971) starring Terence Stamp Jean Claude Brialy and Florinda Bolkan. Only version I can find is on ok ru but is under the Italian title and has a Spanish/Italian audio track. I believe getting hold of it in English is quite tricky., but fingers crossed you can do so.
THE DARWIN ADVENTURE (1972) starring Nicholas Clay. I doubt there’s much chance of finding this, as it seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth! I’ve spent several years fruitlessly searching for it.. But I thought I’d post it on the off chance!
Good to have you back! Thanks again for the films I’ve asked for which you’ve already found and ones you might find moving forward 🙂
Hong Sang-soo’s THE DAY A PIG FELL DOWN INTO THE WELL (1996) and THE POWER OF KANGWON PROVINCE (1998).

Hi, Jon.
I’d love to see “La Chair de L’Orchidee” with Charlotte Rampling.
Thank you!
So glad to see you back! You have helped immensely in my project of seeing all the Academy Award Winning short films!
My heart leapt to see you had “The Wetback Hound” in the new Index, but I get an error when i click on it. Could you fix that link, or does that film run afoul of the new rules?
Here are two other shorts I’d love to see:
Busy Little Bears (1939)
Amphibious Fighters (1943)
And If i can get greedy, a third:
Why Korea? (1950)
Thanks!

I second the request for Portrait of Chieko (1967).

Also, there is a Italian-Norwegian film called “S.O.S.” (1999) that I can’t seem to find anywhere. It’s directed by Thomas Robsahm, who is Ugo Tognazzi’s son.
Oh, wow! So happy you’re back! Any chance you got the full uncut and uncensored VHS version of Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blowup (1966) Most versions crop out Vanessa Redgrave’s scene and censor the infamous full frontal scene?

Welcome back, Jon! Thrilled to see you back. I’m looking for 1985’s Twice in a Lifetime. For a relatively recent Oscar-nominated film, it seems to have virtually vanished.

Kindly request Heute nacht oder nie [Tonight or Never], 1972 (dir. Daniel Schmid): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068696/?ref_=ttco_co_tt
Like almost all of D. S. films, incredibly difficult to locate. The only related video clips I could find were short excerpts with Japanese subtitles on YT, presumably a recording of TV program or a VHS.
Could you have either – 1. The Contract (1988) tv miniseries)
2. The Emissary (1988)
The Apprentice Heel (1977, L’Apprenti salaud) or Summer Night in Town (1990, Nuit d’été en ville). Both directed by Michel Deville.
Jazz ’34: Remembrances of Kansas City Swing by Robert Altman. There’s a 55 minute version on YouTube, but the full version (70-ish minutes) is impossible to find.
can i request a lovely british romcom called WHAT RATS WONT DO , its one of my favorites rom coms . thank you for your wonderful work
Hello, there is a documentary titled “Movies are My Life” from 1978. It is a profile on Martin Scorsese. Directed by Peter Hayden. I believe this is when Scorsese was at the peak of his drug addiction. There are also interviews with De Niro, Jodie Foster, and more. It would be amazing if you could find this!! It has to exist somewhere. Thank you!
https://letterboxd.com/film/movies-are-my-life/
https://hqinfo.blogspot.com/2013/02/silver-screen-movies-are-my-life.html
I would like to request “Saminjo” (aka “Trio” or “Threesome”) made in 1997 by Park Chan Wook. There are no English subtitles. I can’t find this movie anywhere. My alternative would be the original 1994 cut of Ashes of Time by Wong Kar Wai but someone else already requested it.
Can’t find Jerzy Skolimowski’s Hand’s Up AKA Rece Do Gory (1981) anywhere. Seeing how you have a couple other films of his, wondering if you also have this!
Welcome back and good riddance 2020!
Still hoping to this might surface some day:
6 RMS RIV VU – TV movie that aired on CBS in 1974, starring Alan Alda and Carol Burnett
Many thanks!

Hi Jon. It’s so good to see you back, especially after all the headaches you’ve had to endure from the copyright cops always on the prowl.
I’ve a copy of Irish films to suggest, if you don’t mind.:
Bronte (1983) by Delbert Mann with Julie Harris
and alternatively …
Broth of a Boy (1959) by George Pollack with Barry Fitzgerald.
Thanks very much.
Theres to movies that i cant find it anywhere, its A Taste of Killing and Romance (1994) and Web of Deception (1989), they are both Hong Kong films. Just wondering if its possible, thank you!
I hope perchance you have Ladies of the Corridor, which aired on US public television in 1975 as part of Hollywood Television Theatre.
Cheers!

Thank you

Do you have the made-for-TV movie “Wilson’s Reward” starring Sandy Dennis? Thanks.
Hi Jon, thanks for all the work with the site! I would like to request A Fish in the Bathtub (1998, dir. Joan Micklin Silver). Thank you 🙂
I would like to request Carlos Diegues’s Dias Melhores Virão, a movie I can’t find anywhere at all on the internet. It was released on DVD in Brazil, but it is currently out of print and the only torrent I’ve found of it has no seeds.
Could you have this Joseph Conrad adaptation-
—Victory (1996)
Dinara Asanova’s ‘Dear, Dearest, Beloved, Unique’
….or really any movie of hers besides ‘Woodpeckers Don’t Get Headaches’ and ‘The Key That Should Not Be Handed On’
How about Nobody Ordered Love (1972). British horror starring Ingrid Pitt. Cheers.
I would love to see:
The Young Girls of Rochefort (English dubbed version)
A clip can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJfBK8uFYHU&ab_channel=RochefortClips
Thanks so much!
Is it cheating to request from categories instead of individual films?
* Anything nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that you don’t already have.
* Anything nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film or Best Live Action Short Film that you don’t already have.
* Any winners of the Palme d’Or or Short Film Palme d’Or that you don’t already have.
If that’s too broad I will request one specific film: Bob Godfrey’s animated short film “Great”, which won the Oscar, and which is extremely difficult to find.
Two french films:
Story of Women – Une Affaire de Femmes (1988 – Claude Chabrol)
Too Beautiful for You – Trop belle pour toi (1989 – Bertrand Blier)
Hi Jon, I have a few more Sion Sono films to request:
* No-Pants Girls: Movie Box-ing 2 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2084047/)
* Balloon Club, Revisited (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889611/)
* Be Sure to Share (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454612/)
Thanks!
Keep Cool (1997, Zhang Yimou) – Meets the requirements, though it is on Youtube it’s in 240p without English Sub.
I would love to see:
Voyage to Cythera – Theo Angelopoulos
Alexander the Great – Theo Angelopoulos
The Weeping Meadow – Theo Angelopoulos
There are other films by Angelopoulos I would love to see but I have seen others mention them here.
Thanks a lot!
Hi!
I would love to watch Flora Gomes’s Po Di Sangui (1996). A French-dubbed version exists on Youtube but only has Portuguese subtitles, and I can’t find any other version anywhere else, and it meets all the other of your requirements.
Marcos: A Malignant Spirit (1986)
The Sea of Genkai 1976 (Juro Kara)
thanks !
Africa’s Light/Afurika no hikari (1975)
Hi Jon,
There is one film that’s my ‘Holy Grail’ and that’s Escapade (1935), Luise Rainer’s American debut. This probably falls foul of your non-MGM rule but thought it was worth an ask as the rights are no longer with them, Warner’s etc.
For a more possible option I’ve also been on the hunt for Doris Totten Chase’s “A Dancer” which was on TV in 1988 and did once get a VHS release but I’ve never found it!
Thanks for everything.

Thank you for your work!
If possible, i would like to see Forever and Beyond (1981 or 1983, there is conflicted dates on IMDB). It’s the True story of Julian, a boy of 7 years-old who knows he is dying of Leukemia.
Thank you!
Welcome back! If you’re able to find “Blood Royal: William the Conqueror” that would be awesome! It’s a British TV movie from 1990 starring Michael Gambon as William the Conqueror with Brian Blessed co-starring. I’ve found next to nothing about this movie online save for a few images and this 4 minute clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtkfoXfbvEA&feature=emb_title
Here’s the IMDB link to it as well: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121114/
Thanks!

I have just one request: Two Gentlemen Sharing (1969)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065133/
Hello Jon,
This site has made me absolutely ecstatic.
I am looking for three films:
Ride A Violent Mile (1957) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050901/
Lisette AKA Fall Girl AKA A Crowd For Lisette (1961) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0220453/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 (the photos are misleading it is not associated with the Professionals).
How’s Your Love Life (1971 or 1977) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275412/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I am hoping to find the 1977 MOW “Flight to Holocaust.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0036107/
Thank you!
I would like to request the TV production of “Mourning Becomes Electra” starring Joan Hackett. Thanks for all your hard work,
Massive fan of your work. Allowing me to watch two Edward Yang movies I have not seen and 2 Hou Hsiao-hsien movies as well is really just the best thing in the world. My request is one of the two famous movies by Susumu Hani which I have had trouble finding anywhere. Either: She and He or Nanami: The Inferno of First Love I think would make for great additions to the site.
