Requests (now open!)
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, 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.
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.
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
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.
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!
hello. i have these. i can give you the link from where i got them
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.
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.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111651/

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.
Great that the site is back!

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

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.

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.

I know there is a ten minute clip in English on Youtube, so it must exist somewhere! But I can’t find it, so I’m putting it in your reliable hands Jon 🙂
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.

Any chance you have AN AFFAIR OF THE SKIN from 1963? Much appreciated!

https://ifmfilm.com/the-emissary/
The Apprentice Heel (1977, L’Apprenti salaud) or Summer Night in Town (1990, Nuit d’été en ville). Both directed by Michel Deville.
Jazz ’34: Remembrances of Kansas City Swing by Robert Altman. There’s a 55 minute version on YouTube, but the full version (70-ish minutes) is impossible to find.
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
The Bartered Bride/Die Verkaufte Braut (1932) Max Ophuls
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 look for :
Project X (1949)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041770/
Can u upload it ?
thx,
Gunther
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
V
Do you have the made-for-TV movie “Wilson’s Reward” starring Sandy Dennis? Thanks.
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)
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.
I second putting up Bob Godfrey’s “Great”. It is the only Oscar Winner for Animated Short that is impossible 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!

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, 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.

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.

Please find a better copy of Family Rescue (1997) https://www.moviefone.com/movie/family-rescue/20046452/main/
May have been a made for TV movie. The YouTube copy is awful. The movie looks to be oop.
The film documentary ‘Negative Space’ by Chris Petit seems to have vanished from the face of the earth, and since it deals with film criticism, it’d be good to see.
And also, the work of Axel Corti is decidedly underseen, other than The King’s Whore. There is only one subtitled film of his on YouTube, (though it is a good one) Young Freud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwK-U636Roo
Almost anything else he did would be good to see, the filmography on Wikipedia is full of fascinating looking films: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Corti
The Refusal is also on YouTube.
L.A. Takedown by Michael Mann. 1989 TV movie that would later be re-made by Mann as Heat.

For a big book I’m writing on Queer Cinema: LGBTQ Films Coded and Explicit I’ve been desperately trying to find a copy of The Wanderer of the West, Robin Williamson and Joseph E. Zivelli, directors from 1927); also The Trip to Marrekesh (1949, Richard Eichberg). Hope you can find them. I so very much appreciate the great service you have been providing.

Hi, I have been searching for this movie for the past few years now to no available, maybe you’ll have better luck, its called; A Hole in the Head (1998). Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Hello
Looking for the adding machine
Stars milo o Shea
1969
I have been looking for the documentary, “Le ciel et la boue” (1961) AKA The Sky Above, the Mud Below, for years. 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)
Requested Films: Ulysses Gaze
The Weeping Meadows
The Travelling Players
Hey,
I’m looking for Double Messieurs AKA Double Gentleman.
It looks like it satisfies all the requirements. I can’t find a version with subtitles. Its inclusion in the writing of Michel Chion really makes me eager to see it.
This one is my white whale:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0108182/
Thanks in advance!
I imagine that “Going Hollywood” (1933) falls into the Turner/TNT category, hence not usable for this site, which is a shame, as it has some wonderful musical numbers. In any case, thanks for all you do!
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.

Hello there! Thank you so much for providing this wonderful site and for taking the time to upload so many rare and fantastic movies that are quite difficult to find. 🙃🙂😊
I would like to request one film please. The name of the film is, Family Secrets (2001):
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338988/
I hope that you’ll be much more fortunate than me to find it. I’ve searched and searched and so far it hasn’t turned up. Thank you very much in advance!!! 🙂🙃😉😎
“Le Secret” w/ Jean-Louis Trintignant….please.
Thanks for your amazing work Jon. I’d highly be indebted to you if you could find & upload The Death of Empedocles (1987), directed by Jean-Marie Straub & Danièle Huillet onto your amazing website… i’ve been meaning to watch it for years now and I just can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks for the great work!
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.
The 4th Man (1983)

My request is the Mexican film titled “El Socio” (1946). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0219315/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_7

Hi there,
Just curious if anybody has a relative good copy of the 1984 movie Aurora which starred Sophia Loren & Daniel J. Travanti (Hill Street Blues tv series).. It could also be listed under an Italian title name though I know the English film title as Aurora. Seen it back in 1986 and really liked it and would love to be able to finally watch it once again after all these years. Greatly appreciated.
Greetings…
Looking for this 1987 remake of the 1954 classic.

Hi Jon
Thank you so much for this wonderful library… my thing is Japanese film, particularly 1945 to 1975 and you have titles here I’ve not found elsewhere. And better copies of some I already have. So, my request… just the one:
Rokujo Yukiyama Tsumgi (Dark the Mountain Snow), Zenzo Matsuyama, 1966
Hi Brian,
I too am into Japanese films mostly 1945 to 1965. Never heard of Rokujo Yukiyama Tsumgi (Dark the Mountain Snow), Zenzo Matsuyama, 1966 – thanks for mentioning it.
I would really like to view the 1965 Czech film “Intimate Lighting” directed by Ivan Passer. Thank you in advance!
please upload
Wildfeuer (1991)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103265/
Hi Jon,
Can you find the movie MEN… (Mannen…) by Doris Dorrie? I can’t seem to find it anywhere with English subtitles. Thanks!
Greetings,
I wonder if you might be able to find a scarce Canadian film called, Yes, Sir! Madame… by Robert Morin. I saw it once 20 years ago and I’ve never forgotten it, but I’ve never been able to find it.
Hi Jon, glad to see you back! Do you have “The Sea and the Poison” or any other Kei Kumai films? I see you have 2 on the site already, but I’m a big fan of his work.
Another request is Shinji Somai’s “Luminous Woman.”
Cheers!

Hi Jon! Wonderful uploads! My first request is; Perfumed Nightmare (1977) by Kidlat Tahimik
can you get crooks and coronets with telly savalas its so hard to find
Death and The Compass (1992) by Alex Cox
Great to see this site again, welcome back! I’m after a copy of
Strike Me Lucky (1934).
There have been no commercial releases of the film that I am aware of. However, I know prints were transferred to VHS back in the late 80s/early 90s for film aficionados (that’s the only time I’ve seen it). Given the calibre of people on this site, there’s a good chance one of them has a copy… thank you.
Over the Hill to the Poorhouse (1920). It was 1920 top grossing film but has disappeared.
Thanks very much for this site. Some wonderful Japanese films I had not seen before.
Looking for Tomu Uchida’s MORI TO MIZUUMI NO MATSURI 森と湖のまつり (The Outsiders / Festival of Lakes and Forests) (1958). I know there was at one time an R2 version Japanese with no subtitles.
As a backup Koreyoshi Kurahara’s THE WOMAN FROM THE SEA (海底から来た女 Kaitei kara kita onna, 1959). I was living in Japan at the time and caught the 2008 Tokyo Filmex retrospective which showed 12 of Kurahara’s films. Some of those shown were later released in R1 with subtitles in a set titled The Warped World of Koreyoshi Kurahara. Unfortunately, THE WOMAN FROM THE SEA was not one of them – it especially would have fit better given the title of that set. It is about a young man who becomes infatuated with a beautiful young woman who can transform herself into a shark, in which guise she terrorizes the fishing village where the young man is vacationing. Some great underwater filming
If it fits your parameters, I’d love for you to get “Twenty Million Sweethearts.” with Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers and Pat O’Brien.
“I, the Executioner” (1968)
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0122612/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7
Thank you for giving these lost treasures life!
1993 indie Risk with the great Karen Silias from What Happened Was, Hal Harley films. I saw on VHS back in the day and I think that’s all she wrote, seems to have disappeared. Gritty, messy NYC relationship drama, not perfect but compelling enough, deserves to resurface if only for Silias. Thanks

All of my requests so far seem to be out of circulation, so here is one more:
“The Chaperone” (1974) directed by Jourdan Alexander
From the website allhorror.com – “The only known home video release occurred in Australia on the King of Video / Video Budget label and their release is reduced down to just 70 minutes from the original 87.”
I believe this 70-minute version is actually the R-rated cut. It was also released in a version that included X-rated material filmed later with different actors.
I would love to have Hasan wa Naimah (1959), dir. Henry Barakat https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309658/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 I’ll be really greatful if you can get it!

If that isn’t available my backup is Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta (1938) AKA The Song of the Scarlet Flower, directed by Teuvo Tulio
Thank you!
The Teuvo Tulio film is available with English subtitles on Finnkino DVD (as Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta/Song of the Bloodred Flower) from Amazon and elsewhere: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bloodred-tulipunaisesta-kukasta-English-subtitles/dp/B001AZ4Q18 for example. Region 2 only, but it is a gorgeous transfer and well worth buying legitimately (along with the 11 other Teuvo Tulio films in the same edition).

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´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!!
Hi, I discovered this website recently and I’ve been able to watch movies I wanted to see but couldn’t find elsewhere so I’m really thankful !
I was wondering if you could find and add :
– Call Girl ’88 (Ying jiu nui long 1988) (1988) by David Lam Tak-luk
– White Morning (Ako) (Short film, 1965) by Hiroshi Teshigahara
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.
I’m looking for Shin Sang-ok 1984’s “Runaway” (Talchulgi), made in North Korea, please.
Wow this sound super interesting, I don’t have it unfortunately but I will add it on the Wanted list, fingers crossed, maybe someone has it.
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 🙏🙏
Thank you so much Jon! This is incredible. My Italian is passable, it’ll do. Yes, Elliot Gould is the male lead! Thanks so much for doing this
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!
Hello again Jon, and thanks so much for the previous Monica Vitti gem. Here are 2 more that I’m looking for, if you can find them of course:
– Le Quattro Verità (1962) – this is a film with four segments, La Lepre e la tartaruga (loosely adapted from La Fontaine) from Alessandro Blasetti is the one with la Vitti. There is a very short clip on YouTube, but I’m pretty sure the actual segment is more than 2min long! Perhaps her role is that short, though.
– Francesca è mia (Roberto Russo, 1986), to function as a double bill with Scandalo segreto.
Thank you again! Good luck 🙂
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.
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!
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 🙂
Hi Jon. Is there any hope of finding (with English subs) these two titles, “Lenin v Polshe” (1966, Segej Yutkevich) and “Les gauleois bleues” (1968, Michel Cournot)? Thank you very much for your wonderful work with this site. Enrico
Hey Enrico.
Sorry, no luck with finding subtitles for those for now but I’ll keep an eye on it.
Thanks,
Jon.
Apologies for posting more than one request. The one I just requested, Elise ou la vraie vie (1970), is on https://ok.ru/video/2100958399229 Sorry again and thanks for your site!
Oh ok, just saw this, ‘ll just send you the Italian film then.
Hello and thank you for everything you do! Two films I would love to be able to see if you can find them:
Fifi Martingale (Rozier, 2001)
La Drolesse (Doillon, 1979)
Hi Jacob,
Thank you.
Fifi Martingale is available but without subs. La drolesse is a Gaumont title so I can’t upload it unfortunately, if you have other suggestions feel free to post again.
Thanks.
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!
