Requests (closed)
Hey y’all,
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 currently in-print and available to purchase online, good places to check availability of films on DVD and Blu are eBay, Amazon and TCMShop (mostly for American films).
- For British films make sure the film isn’t available on Region 2 DVD if it is available and still in-print on DVD/Blu in the UK I will not upload it.
- The movie was released before the year 2007 (up to 2006 is good).
- For non-English movies I will only upload those that are not available or out of print on Region 1 DVD, if it is available but on a non-Region 1 release make sure the label who released it it’s not listed among the blacklisted companies/distributors mentioned in Rule 6.
- 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 or no subs in case of a foreign film), 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 rule and probably most important one: I will NOT be uploading (and don’t insist) films where any of the studios mentioned up next have been involved in either the production 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, Castle Rock Entertainment, Orion Pictures, Lorimar, Gaumont, Multicom Entertainment, Pathé & StudioCanal (including Canal+, StudioCanal UK and Arthaus). To check this information you can go for example to IMDb, search for “Company Credits”, click on it and it will show you the production and distribution companies involved in the film.
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 for understanding.
Jon.
———NOW CLOSED———
Thank you for all the suggestions/requests, I am working on them while I’m writing this, it will take a while until I can get every single film uploaded on the site but I will upload all of them, well, those that don’t break any of the rules above, I have over 200 films pending to upload so I thought it was time to close this so it doesn’t keep accumulating, I don’t know when I’ll be taking requests again but probably not before I upload all these. If your comment was deleted could have been for one of two reasons, 1) don’t have it and will be added to the Wanted list 2) I do have it and was deleted to clear space so people don’t have to scroll until eternity to leave their requests.If you are anxious to know whether your request will be uploaded or not you can email me to jon@rarefilmm.com or contact me via Twitter.
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.

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.
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
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
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!
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.
Not subtitles for either of those, Tony, sorry!
So great to see the site back – thank you for all your efforts to make it better than ever!
I’d love to see the two Chris Petit and Iain Sinclair films that form a loose trilogy with ‘Cardinal and the Corpse’ which you have. Those films are THE FALCONER and ASYLUM, both BBC productions and not available anywhere.
The other rarity is Werner Schroeter’s TV movie version of SALOME: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375036/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_22
Glad to see you back!

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.

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. All I can find is a very poor quality, foreign subtitled pan and scan VHS dub. I’d love to be able to see a nice print of this. Thank you!
Any chance you have AN AFFAIR OF THE SKIN from 1963? Much appreciated!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058877/

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/

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!
Monsieur N. (2003) Antoine de Caunes
and/or

Do you have the made-for-TV movie “Wilson’s Reward” starring Sandy Dennis? Thanks.

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.

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.
I second putting up Bob Godfrey’s “Great”. It is the only Oscar Winner for Animated Short that is impossible to find.

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!

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?

Hey Jon,
Love the site! I’ve been trying to hunt down a copy of Masahiro Shinoda’s 1981 film Akuryo-To (English: “Island of Evil Spirits”) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081995) and thought I’d give the request line a try. Thanks if you can and still thanks if you can’t!
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.
Hey Cam,
Sorry, only have a very poor copy of this one and the hardcoded subs are barely readable, I’ll keep looking for a better copy.
Feel free to post again if you have other requests.
Thanks.
Would love to see the colorized version of Sands of iwo jima with John Wayne. Only available on vhs never been on dvd.

Hi Jon,
I’ve been trying to track down a 1998 mockumentary called The Thin Pink Line for some time. It’s a gay parody of The Thin Blue Line, and it features an incredible cast of comedic talent, including some of Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer’s earliest film appearances. As far as I can tell based on my own attempts to find it, its only home media release was a DVD in Japan some time in the mid-noughties. Otherwise, I can find no trace of it. If you were able to track it down, I think it could be a wonderful addition to the story of nineties alternative comedy.

I was wondering if you had access to the 1959 remake of THE BLUE ANGEL, starring May Britt and Curd Jurgens and directed by Edward Dmytryk. It seems pretty hard to see these days … I saw it as a kid and its glossy weirdness haunts me. Thanks so much for posting so much outstanding stuff, and I hope this finds you well.
Would love to see a nice print of:
THE SEX SYMBOL, with Connie Stevens (the uncut European version)
MARILYN: THE UNTOLD STORY (superb TV-film with Catharine Hicks)
SOMETHING ABOUT AMELIA
Hello! I´ve been looking for The Late Summer Early Fall Bert Convy Show (1976)
The Bert Convy Special: There’s a Meeting Here Tonight (1981)
Either one or both would be appreciated 🙂 Thank you, Heather.
Thank you so much for this incredible site. I’m looking for a made for TV movie called Shooter by Gary Nelson from 1988.
Sorry, I forgot second choices.
The Long Weekend (O’Despair) (1989) by Gregg Araki and Lion’s Den (1988) by John Ottman. Again, thank you so much!!
My last request has resolved itself, since I’ve found The Sea Children. So I’ll start anew.
Request: The Last Summer (2004)
Alternate: Emma And Daniel: The Meeting (Emma & Daniel – Mötet, Sweden 2003)
Hey Willy,
Thanks for letting me know about The Sea Children.
You can rent The Last Summer (2004) on Vimeo for $2: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thelastsummer
No Eng. subs currently available for Emma & Daniel but you can download a copy in original language from uloz: https://ulozto.net/file/VF5IYP13XhEP/emma-och-daniel-motet-2003-swedish-dvdrip-xvid-andreaspetesson-avi#!ZJV2MwR2A2DjBGZ2ZmyvLzZjMQxjZIOSnSuZZRZ4HRkvqmSyZN==
Thanks,
Jon.
Thank you so much for this extraordinary website. Would you consider Scandalo segreto (1990), from Monica Vitti? Part of the Hungarian version is on YouTube, but it’s only 18 min, and it’s dubbed. Thank you again!
Hi Apneia,
I’m downloading a copy right now, it’s in italian but no subs unfortunately, first time hearing about this film, Elliot Gould is in it! Looks interesting, I will try to put it up on my Youtube channel, if it gets blocked I’ll email it you, but you’d need to know Italian because like I said there’s no subtitles available 🙁
Thank you!
Jon.
Hello! I love your website and I want to thank you over and over again for this precious initiative. I have a particular request for a series that I have been looking for continuously without any results. It is available online but without subtitles so I can’t fully enjoy it. The name in English is My uncle Napoleon, it is Iranian. I would appreciate if you could just find the subtitles for me in an .srt file. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the kind words and support, Wijess, truly means a lot to me.
There’s a poor copy of the whole series floating around but without subs unfortunately, maybe one day it will be subbed but there’s not many Iranian fansubbers out there I’m afraid, it’s a shame because there’s a lot of great, obscure Iranian gems out there that need subs, maybe one day 🙏🙏
Second attempt to post this.
The 1934 Sophie Tucker vehicle “Gay Love,” which is a title with a different meaning now than it had when this musical starred “the last of the red-hot mommas.” Don’t know why it’s so hard to obtain her actual movies, and just because this one was produced in the UK by British Lion Film Corp. that does not explain things, even if IMDB only gives it a rating of 6.5*.
“Sophie looks stunning in this film and sings four songs, only two of which she ever recorded, according to a reviewer, who points out that there is enough bawdy suggestiveness in the picture that it could not have been made in the US at that time, Turns out, the picture came out in February and the Hays office and its notorious production code to protect adults in the land of the free did not go into effect until the middle of the year.
Sounds irresistible to me. Anyone?
No luck with this one, Tom, but I’ll add it on the Wanted list.
Thanks for the suggestion!
There’s allegedly only a single nitrate print of this film in existence, which is in private hands as of March 2020: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Movies-Memorabilia/1934-Gay-Love-Sophie-Tucker-Musical-Nitrate-35mm-Film/td-p/30788776 Not sure if summitcollectables ever found someone to do the transfer! On a side note: always impressed by IMDb users who rate films that no one has seen in literally 90 years – is it cynical to suspect that the 6.5 is entirely based on the name alone?
My requests are two hard to find Chor Yuen films:
Fascinating Affairs (1985):
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089128/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_8
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=6703&display_set=eng
and if hard to find:
That Enchanting Night (1987)
https://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?id=6925&display_set=eng
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093413/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_5
Hi.
Only have ‘That Enchanting Night’ at the moment, don’t know how’s the quality of English need to check, some of the subtitles for Chinese films are really terrible but hopefully they are decent. ‘Fascinating Affairs’ looks like it was released on VCD many years ago but I can’t find a copy online, will add it on the Wanted list.
Thanks!
I suspected as much but honestly i’m content we getting my hands on any copy. Thanks for the hard work. I appreciate it.
This is a goldmine!
But I wonder if you can find either of these:
Ivan Reitman’s Foxy Lady (1971)
Roger Corman’s The Oklahoma Woman (1956)
Hi Michael,
The Oklahoma Woman you can download it from here:
https://ulozto.net/file/7GF1Kjud868h/the-oklahoma-woman-1956-avi#!ZJD4ZwR1MJAwBGZkAGWvBQD4AJV2nQt2BQWAnIqVrKIfAmRm
Quality is poor unfortunately, seems to be all there is out there.
No luck with Foxy Lady, I have that one on my Wanted list.
Thanks!
Good day, could you pl upload: ballad of a gunfighter, seven jackals and badlands of Montana 1957.
I would be grateful for a reply.
Thanks
Hi Glynis,
Ballad of a Gunfighter:
http://rarefilmm.com/2019/03/ballad-of-a-gunfighter-1964/
Looks like somene already put Badlands of Montana on okru for you:
https://ok.ru/video/4828381252096
No luck with Seven Jackals, sorry.
Thanks!
Many thanks for all the amazing films you post. I’d love to see Harvey Middleman, Fireman (1965). It was released by Columbia Pictures.
Hi Alan.
I have this one, it’s also currently available to watch on Dailymotion if you don’t want to wait till I get it up: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5h83ku
Same copy that I have which is not in the original AR (1.66:1) but a 4:3 copy from a TV broadcast but good quality.
Thanks!
Hello,
I’m wondering if you could find a copy of Piege (1970) directed by Jacques Baratier?
Thank you!
Hi Noah.
Yes, this one is coming soon! Stay tuned! 😉
Thanks!
Hi again Apneia,
No luck with those two for now but I’ll let you know for sure in a few days, I will ask a Italian collector friend if he has them, so far only been able to find French and Spanish dubbed copies of “Le Quattro Verità”.
Thanks a lot for the coffees! It’s of big help right now, really appreciate it 🙏.
I’ll be in touch.
Best,
Jon.
Love your work as you know Jon. Couldn’t believe you have Les Violons du bal (with Marie-José Nat), I’d been waiting forever for my VOD provider to acquire the rights… They still haven’t done so. Guess I’ll be watching it here!
And you are very welcome for the coffees!!
Thank you, Apneia.
Violns du Bal beautiful film, it deserves to be better known.
I’m looking for “Of Mice and Men”, the 1981 television version starring Robert Blake. Thanks!
Added to the queue.
Actually, another request… More important than the previous ones. If you could find the film Elise ou la vraie vie (1970), also with Marie-José Nat, also by Michel Drach, I would be extremely grateful. It is extremely difficult to find, even here in France. There is a substantial clip on YouTube, some 15 min. It was a notable film in its time, so there must be a copy somewhere.
Hi again Apneia,
I’ll email you a link for Elise ou la vraie vie (1970) and Le quattro verità (just found it!), both in original language without subs unfortunately.
Thanks!
Great news for Le quattro verità! No prob for the Italian without subs. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for everything you do! What a treasure trove!
I’d be ecstatic if La mort d’un bûcheron by Gilles Carle were to one day become available here.
Thanks again for everything, sincerely.
I forgot to make note of the release year. My apologies!
La mort d’un bûcheron (1973)
Hi R.
I have this but only English dubbed or French but without subs, is English dub OK? Let me know and I’ll add it to the queque to upload.
Thanks,
Jon.
I attempted to find English subtitles to pair with the original audio, but to no avail. The dubbed version would be more than fine.
Thank you so much, Jon! I deeply appreciate your help.
Thanks once more for all the hard work you do.
Hello there,
I don’t think my comment went through, but I just want to say thanks for your hard work. Also, I was wondering if you have Heinosuke Gosho’s Elegy of the North (1957) available for upload. Much appreciated.
Hi Anne.
Thanks for the support!
I added Elegy of the North to the uploading queue 🙂
Thank you so much for providing this incredible content for free! I still can’t believe this site exists.
If possible, is there any way to upload a hi-res version of Harvey Keitel’s 2006 film “A Crime”? IMDB URL is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489010.
I searched everywhere and found it with great difficulty in extremely low-res (289MB) so I thought I’d request a hi-res version. Please forgive me and ignore this if I’ve inadvertently broken any of your rules — if I have, please rest assured it’s not intentional. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for you — providing us with such stellar rare content must be a feat and doing it for free is just… a rarity in itself. Thank you again for everything that you’re doing here.
Jon, you’re doing the Lord’s work here. Seriously.
Have you ever heard of come across ANGELO MY LOVE (1983), It was directed by Robert Duvall and it deals with the Romani community in NYC. It stars non-actors / real member of the community, including the lead who was just 13.
The only versions on youtube are baaaaad – 360p and even 240p. There’s never been a DVD/Blu-Ray release.
On youtube I have come across VHS copies. But more interestingly, I have found LaserDiscs. I wish I had a player! If that is something that interests you. I’m happy to purchase it as a contribution for rarefilmm, of course!
Hey FP,
I have a copy of Angelo My Love, will add it to the queue. It was transferred from a Laserdisc, quality is a bit better than the YT copy but not superb by any means, the guy who posted apparently knew how to make a good transfer so I don’t think it’d be worth buying a new one as it will be pretty much the same, apparently the quality issues come most likely from the master used for the LD and not from the LD itself, appaently the nitrate original of this film is lost, here’s a comment by Kent Jones on Dave Kehr’s site from many years ago:
“A few years ago, I interviewed Robert Duvall. Alex Horwath in Vienna was looking for a print of ANGELO MY LOVE and couldn’t find one. I told Duvall and he said, “It’s on VHS.” He had no idea where the neagtive was, and that was that. Most people aren’t so cavalier about their films, but such things happen all the time. Films will now go on a never-ending migration from one element to another, but they all need someone to be paying attention to them. Who will assume responsibility for Duvall’s film if he won’t?”
my request

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083236/

Hi Victoria.
I added ‘Tulips’ to the queue, it’s from VHS so don’t expect great quality, seems to be all there is avaialble for now.
Thanks!

Thanks.
Hi! Thank you much for all these wonderful movies.
I want to watch Only the Brave 1930 Gary Cooper, Mary Brian.
In KG has a VHS/DVD version with reasobable quality. If anyone could make a good rip.
This site is amazing. If I could get any one film on here it would be Gakuryu (Sogo) Ishii’s Crazy Family. Alternate choice would be Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Chizuko’s Younger Sister
Again thanks for the great uploads
Added “Crazy Family” to the queue.
Wicked Duchess aka La duchesse de Langeais 1942 *with English Subtitles*.
Director: Jacques de Baroncelli
Starring: Edwige Feuillère
I look forward to your reply!
P.S. Excellent Site!
Hi Jessy,
Sorry, no subtitles for that one yet, any other suggestions? Feel free to post them.
Thanks.
Hello Jon,
Thank-you for your reply to my initial post.
Here are 2 other requests (since “Wicked Duchess” was unavailable):
1. Mam’zelle Bonaparte (1942)
Directed by: Maurice Tourneur
Starring: Edwige Feuillère and Simone Renant
2. L’affaire des poisons AKA “The Case of Poisons” (1955)
Directed by: Henri Decoin
Starring: Danielle Darrieux and Viviane Romance
Looking for versions with English Subtitles yet again.
Thank-you!
Here’s L’affaire des poisons in 1080 https://ok.ru/video/1206216100452
You can download it here: https://9xbuddy.in/1en
And here are English subs: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/7487567/the-case-of-poisons-en
I saw this one a while back–it’s really weird!! It’s like a Hammer horror movie, but it pre-dates their color films–I’m probably just telling you what you already know, though. Danielle Darrieux is so good!!
Once In Paris (1978, USA) by Frank D. Gilroy with Wayne Rogers
and/or
Stoney Island/My Main Man From Stoney Island (1978, USA) by Andrew Davis
cheers
Added both to the queue (because I like you 🙂 ), hope you’ve been well my friend, I’ll email you soon.
Focus (1996) Satoshi Isaka
Added to the queue. Very interesting suggestion btw.
Hi! Thanks so much for all your hard work, your site is a literal godsend.
May I please request Our Last Day (1999) by Soi Cheang? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14149556/
I’ve been searching for WEEKS with zero success.
Cheers~
Hi Jon,
How to find Mike Nichols’ recording of Gilda Radners 1980 show “Gilda Live”?
Cheers/Michael
If this is what you’re looking for seems to be available on DVD and on Prime for streaming:
https://www.amazon.com/Gilda-Live-Radner/dp/B0039UU3M8
The Farmer- 1977- stars and co produced by Gary Conway of Land of the Giants
also starring George Memmoli:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072975/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
I heard a copy of this one surfaced recently, I’ve been looking for it for a while too, it’s super rare, it will probably turn up soon, fingers crossed!
I’d like to request The Fall of Otrar 1991, in it’s original language, not dubbed. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104224/ I am struggling to find this one. It would be awesome if a copy was recovered somewhere. Thank you so much for this excellent website, keeping films alive that would likely fade into nonexistence at some point.
I’ll put this one up soon, it’s the uncut version in original language but the source is a screener so the Eng subs are hard to read at times, stuff like this with so much historical importance it’s what should be getting restored, some tell Scorsese about it.
I’d like to request the tv movie Cab to Canada https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161356/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Added to the queue.
The Name of the Game Episode 02.04 The Emissary
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0657024/?ref_=fn_ep_tt_2
Some movies that I believe would be important to have here:
The False Road 1920
The Witness for the Defense 1919
Lost and Won/Castles for Two – Marie Doro
On Dangerous Ground 1917
Destiny’s Toy 1916
The Great Divide 1915
– The Ice Flood 1926 upgrade Grapevine
– The Fighting Coward 1924 upgrade Grapevine
Best of all!
Hey Isaac,
Sorry but I don’t have those at the moment but I might be able to get a copy of some of them, there’s a copy of ‘The Fighting Coward’ on Youtube, not very good quality but seems watchable.
The Great Divide looks like Grapevine successfully raised funds for a restoration along with some other Siegmund Lubin shorts, you can pre order it on their website: http://www.grapevinevideo.com/great-divide-1915.html $20/25 for DVD/Bluray for stuff this rare I think it’s a pretty good deal.
Thanks.
Hi, I wonder if you can find Junji Sakamoto’s Another Battle (2000) with subtitles? The Japanese title is Shin Jingi Naki Tatakai, but it shouldn’t be confused with the 1974 movie by that title. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0269859/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 (it’s supposed to be tied to Fukasaku’s ’70s series, but not in any direct way).
Also, I believe I have one of the movies on your “also looking for” list on a bootleg DVD. I’ll try to dig it up and let you know if I do.
Hi Toei.
I have a copy but no subtitles for it unfortunately 🙁 If you have any other suggestions feel free to post again.
I’m very curious about which film would it be the you have from my Wanted list, please email me if you find it, I really want to try to shrink that list to the ground as much as possible.
Thank you!
I would greatly appreciate The Paradise Connection 1979. Thank you for taking a look around for me.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079698/companycredits?ref_=tt_dt_co
Hi Michael.
Don’t have this one, will add it to the Wanted films list.

Added “Season of the Sun” to the queue, it’s been subbed recently 🙂
Thanks.
Hi Jon
A wonderful resource, thank you for this.
A film I wouldn’t mind seeing is MEDICINE BALL CARAVAN, a 1971 “Woodstock on wheels” pic from Warner Bros. that Martin Scorsese was chief editor for.
But apart from this, I’m happy to discover what is already on here.
TVM “That Certain Summer” is an absolute rarity– delighted to see it!
Best wishes,

I would loooove to see Punks (Patrik-Ian Polk, 2000). Thanks for your work!
There’s a copy of this out there but it’s not very good, interlacing issues, it was released on DVD in the early 2000s it seems but it’s super out of print now and hard to find, it will probably turn up at some point tho.
Eureka (2000)
Dir. Shinji Aoyama
One of the best films I’ve seen, practically forgotten at this point.

-The Invisible Avenger aka The Invisible Man (Tomei Ningen) (1954, Motoyoshi Oda)
Thank you!
Added to the queue.
Be aware that the English subs will probably not be very good as this seems to be the case for most HK and Chinese films that include English subtitles in their retail DVD/Bluray releases.
Brigitte Helm
Eine von uns AKA One of Us (1932)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022851/

Thanks for all you do, Jon, and thanks for keeping us updated on the site’s ups-and-downs via Twitter!
I have a couple of films I’m looking for:
The Story of Shunkin / Shunkin Momogatari (1954)
and
Women in Prison / Joshu to Tomo ni (1956)
Thank you for the support!
No luck with those two films unfortunately, there’s a copy of The Story of Shunkin out there but no subs for it unfortunately 🙁
Will add Joshu to Tomo ni on the WANTED list.
Thanks for all your amazing work to keep these important films alive. I’m looking for two films (well, a lot more, obviously, but I’ll keep it short….):
The Indians are Far Away (Patricia Moraz, 1977), starring Isabelle Huppert
Il Prato (The Meadow) (Taviani Brothers, 1979)
Thanks again!
Hey Mickey,
The Patricia Moraz film I heard it’s getting restored by dfk films, so far only a poor VHSrip is available and without subs, hopefully the restored copy will turn up online soon, probably in some festivals first.
I added Il Prato to the queue 🙂
“Sunburn” with Farrah Fawcett and Charles Grodin. 🙂
I found it for you: https://ok.ru/video/1933212060340
Thanks Gabrielle!
The copy I have has the MGM logo at the top left so I’d prefer not to post it.
Thank you!
Maybe a shot in the dark but three films i’ve been looking for!:
– The Stand-In by Robert N. Zagone
– Flesh Color AKA “Couleur chair” by François Weyergans
– Glitterati by Roger Avary
I’ll post “The Stand-In” for you, not the best quality (from VHS) looks like it was Shot on Video but seems watchable, funny enough the film was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation lol I guess they didn’t want spend much on it.
Glitterati that’s an interesting one, I’ll add it on the Wanted list, maybe someone out there has a copy.

Hey Kat,

‘Wedding in Galilee’ seems to be still in print on DVD, Kino Lorber released it many years ago.
Thanks.
Thank you, Jon!

Added to the queue.
A long shot, but looking for Les Lionceaux ( dir Jacques Bourdon, France, 1960). Thank you so much, Jon, for already enabling me to see so many films I never thought it would be possible to see.
Don’t have this one, will add to the Wanted list.
Thanks for all you do Jon, do you have any of these Masumura please ?

Hey James,
Only one of those Masumura films is not available (Beauty is Guilty) the rest all exist but none with English subtitles unfortunately, I’ll keep an eye on them as they might get fansubbed soon, sorry I can’t help this time..
Request: Mike And The Mermaid (1964)
Alternate: Heart Of A Child (1958)
Adding ‘Heart Of A Child’ to the queue, no luck with ‘Mike And The Mermaid’, sorry.
Hi Jon,
Do you have an English language print of The Condemned of Altona (1963) with Sophia Loren, Maximilian Schell, Fredric March, & Robert Wagner?
Thank you!
Not at the moment.
A movie called a Yank in Vietnam ( 1964) and a movie called commando (. 1962) . Thank you . They are hard to find
The only ever copy that has surfaced of this film for some reason it’s unwatchable and it’s on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcZUKB-Viq8
I’ll keep looking for a better one.
Jon , thanks
Hi! Requesting the following: The Deserter and the Nomads (Zbehovia a pútnici’, Directed by Juraj Jakubisko, 1968). There’s a poor quality youtube version, but it doesn’t have any subtitles. Thanks!

Will upload Rita la zanzara and Don’t Sting the Mosquito here at some point, maybe next month, stay tuned!

Hi John,
Was wondering if you could help me find a copy of Andy Warhols Blue Film the only copy I can seem to find is dubbed in german for some weird reason,
I am also heard there might be a copy of Scenes from Under Childhood from Stan Brakhage somewhere
Thank you,
Hi Carson,
Sorry, the only copy of Warhol’s Blue Film is still that German dubbed one, I wish an English copy would surface.
The Stan Brakhage one has been released by Criterion on DVD and Bluray, look up “By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes One and Two” on Amazon.
I am still hoping that someone can find copies of The Mask Of Sheba (1970) with Walter Pidgeon, Inger Stevens, and William Marshall and Caxambu (1967) with John Ireland and Carol Ohmart.
Hey Keith,
No luck with ‘The Mask Of Sheba’, will add this one to the Wanted list, I do have a decent copy of ‘Caxambu’, will add it to the queue.
Thanks.
Thank you Jon. I appreciate it.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for doing a great job, as always. I’d like to make a request for two films.
1. WHITE SAVAGE (1943) with Maria Montez and Jon Hall (I’ve only seen a few very poor copies of it floating on the internet)
2. COME FILL THE CUP (1951), with James Cagney, one of the tougher Cagney films to find
Hi Tom.
You can watch White Savage on Vimeo, looks like a pretty decent copy, better than others that I’ve seen for sure:
https://vimeo.com/479611173
CTFC is a WB title so I can’t post it here unfortunately.
Request: Teenage Tupelo (1995). Only ever released on VHS, this movie has become impossible to find. Thanks for your efforts.
Added to the queue 🙂
I request the Stan Brakhage film from 1971, “Eyes.” It has IMDb page here
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278436/
As alternate anything by Nathaniel Dorsky. Thank you very much.
Will put up some Dorsky stuff, no luck with “Eyes”. Sorry! 🙁
Some films by Nathaniel Dorsky. are available here, probably won’t stay online for long:

Here’s also an interview with Dorsky:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QnsSye2-6g
Also, is it helpful for you if we second the requests of others? Scanning the comments, I see people asking for Anne Devlin, or the Dinara Asanova films, or Bergman’s TV version of Face to Face, and I wish I could vote for their requests.
You can just comment and say you’re interested too but I will upload every request if I have the movies so it’s not really necessary 🙂
Anne Devil I don’t have it, still looking for it, you can check the Wanted list (http://rarefilmm.com/wanted-2/) this is a list with all movies that have been requested by people here or other people online and which I’m still trying to find.
I’d love to see Mad Men of Europe (1940), also known as An Englishman’s Home. Been trying to find it with no luck. Thanks! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031272/
No luck with this one, will add on the Wanted list.
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.
Yeah no subs for this one yet unfortunately.
I’m desperately looking for Mir reicht’s – ich steig aus 1983 with Linda Manz.
Don’t have this one, will add to the Wanted list, looks like it was released on VHS in Spain, probably dubbed.
I’m trying to find a couple of films from Liam Neeson’s early filmography., Thanks Jon.
