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, Big World Pictures, 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!
My request:
Gates to Paradise / La croisade maudite (1968) by Andrzej Wajda

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.

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.

It was available on another download site a while back but the links is now dead and they are not taking requests to re-up their links. I would be so happy if you were to offer this film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053714/
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.
Thank you, Matt! $57 is a little expensive for a DVD for me. I’m hoping to get it the piratical way! Yo ho ho!
Hi thanks for the uploads! It’s really a joy to find some rare films here
I am looking for Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d’une femme released in 1968 and Mefiez vous mesdames in 1963. I found some videos on ok.ru but it’s all dubbed, was wondering if you might have it in the original audio?
Hi Jon,
i’ve been looking for Szabad Lélegzet (1973) directed by Márta Mészáros.
Hi, please is there any chance to upload Rocinante a 1986 British film starring John Hurt?
Have wanted to see DISC JOCKEY (1951, Monogram/Allied Artists) for years. Some great performers in the film along with many legendary disc jockeys from around the country.
My previous request is not believed to be out there, so here are a few alternates:
“Changes” (Hall Bartlett, 1969)
“Recess” (Rule Royce Johnson, 1969)
“Limbo” (Mark Robson, 1972)
The Third Part of the Night by Andrzej Żuławski from 1971. I’ve been searching high and low for this film. English subs would be terrific, as that is my native tongue, but I’ll watch it without if I have to. Thanks in advance!
There are copies of the film on eBay. It was released in the UK on DVD a number of years ago – with English subtitles.
cheers https://ulozto.net/file/u9qLq0LJ4peE/trzecia-czesc-nocy-1971-720p-bluray-x264-ac3-mkv
Marry me again (1953)
“Le Secret” w/ Jean-Louis Trintignant….please.
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.
Hi Jon,
I’m looking for a copy of LA NOTTE DEI FIORI (Night of the Flowers) directed in 1972 by Gian Vittorio Baldi and starring Macha Méril, Hiram Keller and Dominique Sanda. Thanking you very much in anticipation!

Thank you!
Open House (1998) Isao Yukisada, pleasee 🙁
Huge fan of your work, Jon – and as such I’m not fussed about a particular film. But any otherwise unavailable British film from 1925 to 1935 would do me perfectly, the more obscure the better. Otherwise, your choice – I know it’ll be a good one. Cheers!

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 🙏🙏
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:

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.
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!
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.
I’m looking for “Of Mice and Men”, the 1981 television version starring Robert Blake. Thanks!
Added to the queue.
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?”

Hi,
I am such a fan of this website. Thank you for providing all of these films! I’m looking for Tulips (1981) directed by Rex Bromfield, Mark Warren, and Al Waxman. I haven’t been able to find a way to watch or purchase it,
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083236/
Thank you!
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!
Hi! Thank you much for all these wonderful movies.
I want to watch Only the Brave 1930 Gary Cooper, Mary Brian.

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

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~
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!
Hi! I would like to request a filipino film called “Hesus Rebolusynaryo” or Jesus the Revolutionary by Lav Diaz. It was released in 2002 and is impossible it seems like to find. Thank you in advance!

Congratulations again on the new site. Do you have Yûrakuchô de aimashô(Koji Shima):https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329793/
As an alternate I would like to suggest: Taiyo No Kisetsu by Furukawa:

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,
D.
I’ll email you a link, can’t post this as it’s from WB.
Thanks for the support, Dene! 🙂

I am also trying to get a copy of “Dans la ville blanche” by swiss director Alain Tanner fully subtitled. The Youtube version, apart from being a real bad copy, doesn’t subtitle all the German or Portuguese parts. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085400/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Thanks a lot for all that you have been through to make this website possible!
L.
Hi Laurent,
I’ll add the Finnish movie to the queue, the other two films you are looking for are already on the site:

Thanks!
Hi!
I’m looking for “The Bad Man” from 1930 with Walter Huston and “The Cowboy and the Ballerina” from 1984 with Lee Majors.

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.
Hi Jon! Looking for two titles that aren’t on YouTube and adhere to guidelines:
– Heaven and Hell aka Shaolin Hellgate (1980, Chang Cheh)
-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.
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)
