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), TNT, 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.

hi! I was wondering if you could get Microhabitat (2017) which is a korean film! thank you for your hard work!!
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)

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.

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.

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 😀
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZgOF6eR49E
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.
UPDATE- After searching for a long time for this movie, some kind hearted person on the Archives uploaded this movie on the site.
Thank you so much to Rarefilmm, and everybody on here for trying. Again, thank you Rarefilmm for providing such wonderful rare treasures. Without him, and people like him, these films would be lost, and wouldn’t see the light of day for everybody to see, and enjoy.
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

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.

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)

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)

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.

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)
Hi Bill. Try here:
https://ifmfilm.com/the-emissary/

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!

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!
First of all, thankyou for your hardwork. i really had a great experiences wathcing old films from your website. however, i really would to see Manuel De Oliviera’s like Benilde or The Mother Virgin etc. can you upload that.

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!
Martin

Hi! I am looking for the movie of Jorge Sanjines, The Principal Enemy/Jatun Auka… I searched all torrents but unfortunately I could not find.
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.
C
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/

I have just one request: Two Gentlemen Sharing (1969)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065133/
A good copy of this is available to buy on dvd from ZDVMM
correction: zddvm.com
i bought my copy there & can confirm that it’s a really good quality copy (albeit sadly, – as a late 1960s British film completist – the film wasn’t really worth the 15 year hunt. rated: 3/5).
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.
Hello! I’m looking for this Austrian film. For some reason, it is not on trackers. Has anyone watched it?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051696/
Hi. I was looking for Safe in Hell (1931). I could not find it anywhere

Hi! I’d like to request Only The Brave 1930 if you have it! and if not maybe The Man Who Lived Twice 1936? Thank you!
Fair Game, 1994 British film with Lena Headey. Only the last couple of parts of this are available on YouTube – the bulk is marked as blocked in the UK.
Also, I’ve requested these before but its an update on the Irish films Hush-a-Bye-Baby and Anne Devlin. These have been available to rent on Galway Film Fleadh but its impossible to view without specific software
Hi! could I request Only The Brave 1930? and if you don’t have it then maybe The Man Who Lived Twice 1936? thank you!
(I already posted this comment but it’s not showing up so sorry if it shows up twice)
Hi, Jon.

Do you have “My Dearest Senorita” (1972)?

Re: China 9, Liberty 37
WB owns it, and I don’t want their wrath to fuck up this site! Still restoring it, supposedly
I would recommend 1977’s Red. It’s an all-tjme favorite of mine and the only thing I’ve been able to find to watch it on is a DVD copy (which was made in INCREDIBLY limited numbers). I would love it it if you guys got it on this website. Keep up the good work!
Hi Jon,
Here is my wish:

Well, actually it can be found on YouTube:

But that one’s quality is awful (240p). So if you could kindly help find a better one, I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you for this wonderful website. Great job! Does anyone have the movie ˝Ice House (1989)˝ directed by Eagle Pennell. Thank you in advance.

Hello Jon,
glad to see this channel back! Thank you for all your efforts!
My request is WAMPYR (1978): This is the italian version of George Romero’s MARTIN which features music by GOBLIN and is edited in a different way. It does exist with english subs. It was part of a multi-disc-edition which is now out of print.
Would love to see the ultra-rare Cannon film “Dragonard” (1987) with Oliver Reed and Eartha Kitt. Never on DVD in English (as far as I know). 🙂
Jon:
“We’ll Bury You!” out of print 1962 documentary about Communism released by Columbia Pictures. It sounds interesting!

Bonjour,
J’aimerais beaucoup voir le film Sanguines, réalisé en 1988 par Christian François. Merci beaucoup.
I would love any of Andy Warhol’s films with Edie Sedgwick. The prints I have found have all been just terrible.
Two Russian films that are out there but I cannot find English subtitles for …
Lenin v Polshe / Lenin In Poland (1966) by Sergei Yutkevich
and/or
Romans o Vlyublyonnykh / A Lover’s Romance (1974) by Andrey Konchalovsky
cheers
This may not be up your alley but I’ve been looking for a way for years to see the South Korean movie Park Vs Park/Father Vs Son (박대박) 1997 (no subtitles is A-OK with me)
I’ll keep an eye on your Wanted list to see if I’ve come across any of them too.
can you add “Last Life in the Universe”?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345549/
Hello!
I’d love if you upload A season in hell (1971)
Thanks you so much
This site is an absolutely phenomenal resource/database! Would it be possible to upload “The French, They Are a Funny Race” (1955) by Preston Sturges? It’s known in the UK as “The Diary of Major Thompson” and in France as “Les Carnets du Major Thompson.” It’s basically impossible to find the film anywhere to purchase or stream! Many thanks in advance.
Here’s another request
The Marilyn Diaries (1990)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100113/
Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês (How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman) 1971 (Brazil) by Nelson Pereira dos Santos. You can get a dvd of it but its out of print and its very expensive
Hi, thanks for uploading all these movies! could I request Only The Brave with Gary Cooper? been looking for it for ages! thank you.

2. THE MAIN ATTRACTION 1962. PAT BOONE. – 1962.
Thank you. Lucy
Hi! Since you were so kind as to post ISABEL, I was wondering if you had a line on another film by Paul Almond, 1970’s ACT OF THE HEART, which starred Genevieve Bujold (his wife at the time, lucky duck) and Donald Sutherland. Also, while this isn’t especially specific, it seems a lot of Luis Bunuel’s Mexican films are very hard to find these days in subtitled form, and I think practically any of them would be a welcome and valuable addition to the site. Thanks again for your excellent work with Rarefilmm!
Fever Pitch (1985)
Isn’t that possibly WB now? Don’t want to shake the hornet’s nest. My god, what a terrible film from a great filmmaker
Hey. I’m interesting in the film Love and Larceny ( Il mattatore,) 1960.
Sorry for posting another request. I forgot about this film that’s much more important than Love and Larceny. It’s Il Gaucho (1965, Dino Risi). Thank you!
YAY! Just noticed you’re back! Do you happen to have either Gravity is My Enemy or The True History of the Civil War? Both of them are Oscar winners I’ve been looking for for quite some time, and they are both out there in some university libraries, so, who knows?
Hello! I would love to see Safe Haven (1995), one of the final films from Donald Pleasence. Thank you!

I have had a hell of a time finding Asia Argento’s doc Abel/Asia from 1998 (filmed while they were making New Rose Hotel), so I figured I’d add it here just as a shot in the dark.
Thanks for all you do!
Would love to find a copy of Strawberry Fields (1997), can’t find a trace of it anywhere. Keep ut the good work, this website is a treasure.

I’m having a really tough time finding Killer of Sheep (1978) by Charles Burnett. If you can’t find that, I also seem to have a hard time finding Spoorloos or The Vanishing (1988) by George Sluizer.
Thank you very much for this!

Both of these are available on Region 1 DVD’s. I think they both might even be streaming on the Criterion Channel

Thank you so much for creating this website. It’s an incredible resource for anyone who loves cult movies.
Hi guys,
I’d love to see September 30, 1975 by James Bridges. A video link would be sufficient, haven’t been able to track one down!
Thank you so much!
Coming to Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber soon! This was one of my dad’s favourites. I love Bridges’ MIKE’S MURDER (1984)
First off, thank you for all your hard work running this site, its an invaluable resource. I’m looking for “Fine Line” Ang Lee’s first film, his thesis assignment. If English subtitles exist that would also be really helpful.

A Face in the rain (1963) A movie Scorsese mentioned being influence on Taxi Driver. A 16mm print was up on eBay few years ago but long since gone.
Point de chute (1970) this got a 4k restoration in france back in 2018 but the release didn’t have English subtitles.
Previously either in late 2019 or early 2020 I had requested Le chien fou (1966) & Am Tag als der Regan kam (1959) but neither of them were included into the wanted list.
I’m very happy to find this site. I would love to request an incredible film made by the first Female Director from Sub-Saharan Africa:

Hi I’m looking for nightmare in Columbia County 1991 please
Hello,
Asking about “Cowboy in Sweden” was super helpful given I was able to track it down via Discogs. Hence, I wanted to about the following film; whether anyone knew where I could find it, watch it, or whether it could be requested/uploaded?
My request is the following: The Slow Business of Going by Athina Rachel Tsangari. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and after watching Attenberg, I feel absolutely compelled to. I also emailed Haos Film, who seems to own the film, and they just haven’t responded).
This is the IMDB URL:

Best of luck with your search and keep up the great work!
Wait, never-mind, I managed to find it.
Hi
Many thanks for the site.
I’ve been trying to get hold of Francais Si Vous Saviez, a mammoth documentary on De Gaulle

Any chance you have Anthony Perkins’ film TWO ARE GUILTY (French title: Le glaive et la balance). I’m looking for an English print. I’d like to hear Perkins speak in English. Thank you for your help!

Great to see you back, I too have dozens of films I have been searching for but I’ll just try this one for now. SEA TIGER (1952- Monogram).

I have been trying to locate the 1946 film called “Hot Cargo”. It starred William Gargan, Jean Rogers, and Philip Reed. It was produced by Pine-Thomas Productions and distributed by Paramount Pictures, Inc. I have found a movie poster for it, but not the film itself. It would be wonderful if you can find it! Thanks!
Always a pleasure coming to this site. I realize that there are a number of films you’ve listed that aren’t quite fully loaded, or ready to view.. Three I’d love to see – when you get around to it – are “The Great Adventure” “Turkish Delight” and “Flight of the Eagle.”
Much appreciated!

Hi Jon, Looking for a film titled: Her Sweetheart (Christopher Bean) 1933. Marie Dressler and Lionel Barrymore. Tried to find this EVERYWHERE on Amazon, eBay, and other Classic movie distributors. Nothing. Believe it is a Public Domain film, never released for public purchase. Very much wish to either view it by streaming or to buy a DVD-R copy. Please advise if you have it or can find it to buy.
I understand that this is tied up in rights issues (based on a play, and the remake rights sold on to another studio). I don’t know of any copies in the backchannels. And apparently those who have seen this title at a festival or archive say it is *really* good.
Looking for Piege from 1970 starting Bulle Ogier and Fernando Arrabal. French experimental film directed by Jacques baratier.
I don’t seem to find any of the following to rent or retrieve:
The Bolshoi Ballet (1957 – Paul Czinner)
The Medium (1951 – Menotti)
A Cage of Nightingales / La Cage aux Rossignols (1945)
Marie-Louise (swiss/german – 1944)
A Medal for Benny (1945)
Choose one – seems like I’ve accumulated requests for a year! Thanks

I’d be delighted if you could upload any Santo or Blue Demon films, particularly Santo and the Blue Demon vs Dracula and the Wolfman. Also, any more films from Nobuhiko Ôbayashi would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for Andrew Horn’s Doomed Love (’84). It streamed in a few places two years ago but unable to find it since. Seems like it would go well with some of the films on this site.

Sturme de Leidenschaft/Storms of Passion/Tempest (1932) directed by Robert Siodmak
and
Affaire Blum/The Blum Affair (1948) directed by Erich Engel

Hey, Jon. I mentioned on the request line: Always a pleasure coming to this site. I realize that there are a number of films you’ve listed that aren’t quite fully loaded, or ready to view.. Three I’d love to see – when you get around to it – are “The Great Adventure” “Turkish Delight” and “Flight of the Eagle.”

All re-uploaded now, sorry for the delay.
Hi Jon,
It would be great if you could post a copy of CURE FOR LOVE (1949), produced, directed by and starring Robert Donat in what must be the rarest film of the actor’s career. I’ve never seen it anywhere.
Alternate choice:
The Bus (1965) Haskell Wexler documentary
Thanks for this and all you have done. Great job!
Any chance of finding a subtitled copy of Zig-Zag aka Zig Zig (1975)? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072447/

I would really like to see SWEET LORRAINE w/ Maureen Stapleton.
THANK YOU!
I would really love to see the 1965 movie “Andy” starring Norman Alden. I’ve heard so many good things about this film but have never been able to find a copy anywhere.
Greetings from South Africa. Great site. Found some of Scorsese’s Rediscovered Republics I could find nowhere else. Thank you so much. I’m looking for Val Lewton’s Youth Runs Wild (1944). The copy on Youtube is in terrible condition.
I would love to see Storm De Hirsch’s only feature ‘Goodbye in the Mirror’ (1964). I missed a screening at Brighton Cinematheque in the 2000’s and more recently at Close-Up (I reckon the only UK screenings in 20 years). Thanks for the site – great work!
Max Mon Amour (1986) would be nice to see
Just found your amazing site. I would love to see The Reward (1965) with the late, peerless Max von Sydow. Production Co: Arcola Pictures, Distributed by twentieth Century Fox, release date: 15 September, 1965. Have looked extensively online, the only dvd offered is 66 minutes (the original film runs 92 minutes). English subtitles would be wonderful, as a large part of the dialogue is in Spanish, but apparently the context still allows the story to unfold for those who don’t understand Spanish.
Please upload the following films. Thank you.
1. Our Fathers 2005
2. Wild iris 2001
3. Walking across egypt 1999
4. Too young to be a dad 2002
5.Travellers and magicians 2003
6..The strength of water 2009

I have been looking for the documentary “The Sky Above, the Mud Below” for years. The original title is “Le ciel et la boue”. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053714/reference
Le Ciel et La Boue is available as a bonus feature on the 2003 dvd release of Annaud’s Noirs et Blancs en Coleur (Black and White in Color), since they have the same producer. It’s a region 1 DVD too. Available on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Black-White-Color-Jean-Carmet/dp/B000096I8J and probably on eBay.
I’d love The Rapture (1972), apparently it created a lot of hype around Apocalypse.

Chronicle of the Years of Fire (1975) (original title: Ahdat sanawovach el-djamr), directed by Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina. Landmark Algerian film, is the first and to date, only film from any African country to win the prestigious Palm D’Or. As far as I can tell, it’s never received a region 1 DVD release let alone a Blu-ray release, nor is it available in the digital realm (at least with English subtitles) outside of a low quality YouTube posting that looks like video camera footage of a TV airing of the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MuVXQ9jWk&t=152s). It was recently restored by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and can be selected for screening at a theater. But other than that, it still can’t be easily seen and remains the rarest and hardest to see of all the Palm D’or winners.

thankyou for your efforts!
Lounge People (1991)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104762/reference
Low-budget indie-style comedy about two deranged rich people who play demeaning games with their servants. Relatively famous actors. Not sure it ever had a theatrical release or a home video release in English-speaking countries, I only ever saw it on Comedy Central late at night. That’s all I have to go on!

If possible, I would be eternally in your debt if you could upload THE LUCKY STAR (1980) starring Rod Steiger, Louise Fletcher and Lou Jacobi. It’s about a young Jewish boy in WWII Netherlands who watches Wild West movies to cope with the carnage and destruction all around him, Seems to have fallen off the radar. If you can post it, that’s be great!
Maren Ade short films Ebene 9 & Vegas
I’m looking for ‘Murder Incorporated’, a film about the hit squad for the mafia. I rented a grainy bootleg copy years ago and found it interesting. I believe Peter Falk and Morey Amsterdam (yes, Buddy Sorrell on the Dick Van Dyke Show) make up part of the cast. It seemed a low budget piece, but had a pretty good story.

The commercial LQ 4:3 version of the film, which I bought, is a disgrace to its imagery, which is evident to anyone who saw the beautiful Arabic/Middle East scenery in the cinemas. Last time I checked, there was no proper copy of the film available for sale.
I’m terribly sorry for not remembering my second choice right now, so if my faltering mind will let me remember it, I am going to take the liberty to post another comment regarding that one. After all, there is so much good stuff out there, that isn’t out there.
This is owned by WB and cannot be uploaded here

Hi Jon, everybody, as I wrote in the chat room I’d love to see Pilotinnen aka Drifters (1995) by Christian Petzold uploaded on this site. Thanks!
Hi there,
Does anybody know where I can find the rare VHS titles Bachelorette Party (‘87), Ladies Night Out (‘83), Knight Fever (circa ‘85)? Asking for a friend…
If anybody has these titles can you please upload them to Ok.ru, archive.org or an unlisted YouTube. Thank you,
Glad to have you back!
Could you help me find:
Thunderstorm (1957)
The Orphan (1960)
Both of those are early Bruce Lee movies. Thunderstorm in particular is based on a popular play.
Also, could you find the original Korean version of Yonggary 1999? That one’s probably long lost, but I wanted to try at least.
Zero Kelvin (1995) Norway
Lamerica (1994) Italy
Thanks so much.
I’m looking for Robert Altman’s “Precious Blood”. It’s a TV-movie one-act play from the “Two by South” series. You have the other piece already available, “Rattlesnake in a Cooler”
Seconded.
Hi, I would love if you could add “Bawdy Tales” (AKA “Storie Scellarate”), a 1973 film directed by Sergio Citti and overseen and written by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Alberto Grimaldi produced. It is not on video ANYWHERE, much less Region 1. I have asked a number of U.S. boutique labels about releasing it, and their answer is always, ‘We aren’t interested’. I would love to get it on the site here. Also, as a backup, I’d also like to get Sergio Citti’s “Casotto” (Beach House), with Jodie Foster, from 1976, on here. Thank you for your time.
From Sweden:
Sara Learns Manners / Sara lar Sig Folkvett (1937) by Gustav Molander
or
They Staked Their Lives / Med Livet Som Insats (1940) by Alf Sjoberg
Stage to Thunder Rock

Hi there,
I was wondering if you’d be able to upload the following:
1) Narita: The Peasants of the Second Fortress (1971, Shinsuke Ogawa)
2) Profile in Anger (1984, Bryan Leung)
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jon, Appreciate the great work that you are doing. Have been looking for years any of the Fred Kelemen films. Nothing seems to be available except Krisana (2005). would love to see other films.
Cheers,
S.
Here’s a suggestion instead of a request. I found Palme d’Or winner and Foreign Language Film nominee “When Father Was Away On Business” on ok.ru. Here’s the URL, would make a good addition to rarefilmm:
https://ok.ru/video/2113408731758
Hi Jon, firstly, thank you for providing access to some of Edward Yang’s other works. Would you by any chance be able to upload his 1983 film ‘That Day, on the Beach’? It’d be greatly appreciated as I’ve been looking everywhere. Thank you.
Hello Jon, Many thx for your great job. I am looking for a french film : Le bal from Wilhelm Thiele on screen in 1931. This is the first film with Danielle Darrieux born 1916, 14 y.o in Le bal. Thank you.
Any of these Dinara Asanova films:
‘Rudolfio’ (1970)
‘Trouble’ (1977) [available on Youtube without subs]
‘The Wife has left’ (1979) [available on Youtube without subs]
‘The Useless Girl’ (1980)
‘What Did You Chose?’ (1981)
‘Boys’ or ‘Tough Kids’ (1983) (fairly easy to find, but the only english sub avilable
online is some sort of automated translation and pretty much useless)
‘Children of Discord’ (1984)
Thanks for the site and thanks in advance if you can provide any one of these.
Request: Career Girl (1960) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052674/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_23

Hello Jon. Amazing to see this amazing site back online ! Very sad to hear about the copyright nonsense, but it’s understandable.
About movie request now. Is it possible to find this 1968 Japanese crime movie called “Sogeki” directed by Hiromichi Horikawa ? :
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065006/
Thank you.
Recently discovered Rarefilmm and I’m amazed by the range of films here – thank you! I would love to be able to see (any of) the following 1950s films with English subtitles – to the best of my knowledge they’re not available as R1 DVD or Bluray releases. They’re classic European films (melodramas, comedies, noirs) that deserve to be better known:
Calle Mayor (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1956 Spain)
El ultimo caballo (Edgar Neville, 1950 Spain)
La vida por delante (Fernando Fernan Gomez, 1958 Spain)
Voici le temps des assassins (Julien Duvivier 1956 France)
Poveri Milionari (Dino Risi, 1959 Italy)
Also very interesting, if you can find them:
Rendez-vous de Juillet (Jacques Becquer, 1949 France)
Mi tio Jacinto (Ladislao Vajda, 1956 Spain)
Los peces rojos (Jose Antonio Nieves Conde, 1955 Spain)
La Belle americaine (Robert Dhéry and Pierre Tchernia, 1961 France)
Fantasmi a Roma (Antonio Pietrangeil, 1961 Italy)
thank you Jon

Hi Jon,
Thanks so much for your work!
I’d love to see BBC’s 1947 production of Rope starring Dirk Bogarde if it’s available.
Appreciate you!
Hello,
Is it possible to find Love and Separation in Sri Lanka (1976) by Keisuke Kinoshita?

Hello! Totally love this site!
Is there any possible way of doing Tobe Hooper’s “I’m Dangerous Tonight (1990)”. I believe it was made for TV but I don’t know who owns it.
Thanks!
Thank you for all your efforts. This site is truly a gem.
I’m interested in seeing a German TV Movie that came out in 1987 called “Liebe lässt alle Blumen blühen” by Director Marco Serafini. According to IMDB, alternate titles for the film were: “L’attrapeur” in France & “A szerelem mindent virágba borít” in Hungary. I am unaware of who currently holds rights to the film, or indeed if it can be found anywhere.
In any case, thank you!
Irezumi 1966 Yasuzo Masumura please! Thanks for all of your hard work!
Coming to Blu-Ray in 2 months from Arrow
hello, i would like if you uploaded bendel & pettersson (1933), as the one VOD service with it is geo-restricted to the EU. thank you.
Love your work! If I may ask, I’d love to have A Luminous Woman (1987) by Shinji Sômai & Utamaro’s world (1977) by Akio Jissôji. The best copies I found were in worldscinema.org but those dickheads only upload on Nitroflare, a scummy, money grubbing site. They are the only site that has a copy of ‘A Luminous Woman’, as well as the best copy of ‘Utamaro’s world’. idk how you’ll do it, but if you can it would be awesome.

Hello, would you have the Hugh Grant film, Privileged (1982) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084539/
Hey there! this is probably a long shot but no harm in asking, just wonder if there wis any possibility of maybe finding The Big Freeze 1993 Directed by Eric Sykes? its nigh on impossible to find.
Thanks so much for all your hard work on this site!
If you could find Theodore J. Flicker’s “The Troublemaker” (1964), I’d love to see it again. Although it’s been panned, it’s notable in that many people who were involved in it, such as the director and also Buck Henry, went on to do great things. Also, Godfrey Cambridge is wonderful as an Irish policeman, and there’s a hilarious uncredited silent cameo by Tiny Tim.
Hello,
Looking for an Egyptian film named “Rabia Al Adawyya” (1963) I’m just looking for an English subtitle. It can be found on YouTube but only in Arabic. Thanks!
Hello,
I am really delightful to find a site like this! It’s really appreciated.
I would love if you can upload Ulysses’ gaze 1995.
Thankyou.
Could you possibly upload Pedro Almodovar’s first film: Folle… folle… fólleme Tim! (1978)
