Uptight by Jules Dassin, 1968, written by Dassin, Ruby Dee and Julian Mayfield (who both play parts in the film). The Informer updated to a black revolutionary group in Cleveland, four days after MLK's murder. Gripping stuff.

Found another Youtube channel with a buncha movies in HD - www.youtube.com/channel/UClY1tKKjs-lmd3K5x96m7JQ/videosThey have some big ones: Frenzy (Hitchcock), The Innocents, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Bridge on the River Kwai, Down by Law, Straw Dogs, and for any Jeremy Irons fans, Moonlighting is a must see. They also have The Flim-Flam Man with George C Scott that I've tried like hell to look for in the past, and finally found it here in good enough qual.

Ebola Syndrome (1996) has been on Youtube for years. It is one of the wackiest and funniest films I've seen and Anthony Wong delivers a GOAT performance in it, but it might prove too sleazy and insensitive for some people. Still, I consider it one of the best b-movies ever made.

Watched The Innocents this afternoon thanks to seeing that link. Thanks!

One of the best animated films of the past decade, this film is based on the play by Imre Madach, where Lucifer takes Adam and Eve on a journey through history in which they encounter most of humanity's great civilizations. The most interesting part of the film is that each segment's animation is inspired by the art style that existed within each civilization explored. It's quite an unusual film, but a really interesting experience.

Next of Kin (1982) - only 87 minutes. There's a single cut later in this movie that I audibly reacted with "Ohhmyygoddd" just like I would on a rollercoaster. Except unlike rollercoasters, I don't hate this movie. I love it - It's not only great Gothic fun but purposeful, brilliant filmmaking. I don't think the director ever did anything else which sucks for us, dammit...

Anyone know where to watch any Mekas films? His filmography is pretty much nonexistent on the internet.

cinephobe.tva curated site that live-streams movies; a lot of obscure and foreign stuff. One of my friends watches w/e is playing almost every night, and only just told me about this site. Has anyone heard of this? Last month they apparently played a decent print of Last Summer which is impossible to find! Tonight at 8:30pm ET : the rare and masterful Czech pic, The Ear (1970)

The Sun in a Net (1962) and Knife in the Head (1978) - for fans of poetic Czech new wave or Bruno Ganz, these are hard to find pics.

Posted this in another thread but figured that it should be posted here as well...
Edward Yang's Yi Yi -- one of the foremost masterpieces of the 21st century -- is in its entirety on Youtube and apparently has been for a couple years? And with subtitles.

Kim Ki-duk's excellent 3-Iron is also on Youtube with English sub ... the quality's not perfect, but definitely watchable, at least it was for me.

There's a ton of great films esp from the 1970s on Youtube, will link some later (too bad all of the Cassavetes were removed, I was too damn slow to get my ass to see them) will link some later. However, I just discovered www.rarefilmm.com which has thousands of films from HD to VHS rips. I'm sure you guys will find a bunch that pique your interest. Once I found there and want to watch...

Sarah Maldoror filmmaker/activist died at 90y/o two months ago from COVID. She was one of, if not, the first woman to direct a feature in Africa. She was also friends with Chris Marker and helped him secure locations for Sans Soleil.
This movie - Dessert for Constance (1981) is a sweet, satiric 60min movie about two best friends, African migrant sanitation workers in Paris, who find an old cookbook that changes their lives. It only has 9 votes on IMDb (!!!) so it's a gem, though there's one hugely implausible scene and it's maybe too sweet...

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Why, she appeared on Youtube! THANK YOU! I've always wanted to see this but could never access it-- even Netflix doesn't have the DVD!

Cinema gods are real?! That "Church of Film" Vimeo user who uploaded the French-African movie also has a bunch of other rare stuff. Including this, This Sweet Sickness (1977) - from the Patricia Highsmith novel, starring a superb, simmeringly scary-sad Gerard Depardieu. I know pacinoyes loves it, and I'm a huge fan too - quite underseen though it got its share of Cesar noms, it's only been released on VHS in the US (as far as I know) and I oddly thought the slight video fuzziness worked for it but also wished it'd get a remastered new release eventually - this'll do for now! Viced cough

I can always watch it again for the Depardieu highlight reel line: " My whole iife has been upset!..........(hesitates, realizes what he said) and..........so was hers"!

Chilly Scenes of Winter (1979) in good quality! Less than 1k IMDb votes! Directed by the wonderful Joan Micklin Silver. I didn't know if I liked this at the beginning then at some point I felt like I was watching a classic - 3/4 Woody Allen, 1/4 This Sweet Sickness, also Punch Drunk Love and High Fidelity bopped to mind. And the John Heard perf gets better and better. At like the 50-minute mark there's a scene where he seems to be joking then suddenly not and you get all these hints of charisma, slightly scary madness, private humor, jealousy, tension......
A lot of Silver's movies are about expectations, having to move on, but fighting it (like Amy Irving in Crossing Delancey, or the newspaper in Between the Lines, or poignantly with tradition in Hester Street) and also stressed pockets of time which we get here with a push-and-pull flashback structure that keeps dropping the character back into his own romantic crisis.

Oh honeys, Madraza (The Godmother 2017) - a poor housewife accidentally becomes an assassin and it empowers her and transforms her life. I liked it!

cinephobe.tva curated site that live-streams movies; a lot of obscure and foreign stuff. Should've started a thread for this great site, but I'll just keep updating here. The Sun in a Net (1962) - tonight, 6:45pm EST. Essential Czech new wave, poetic, crisp. The Runner (1985) - tmrw, 9pm. Iranian masterpiece upstages 400 Blows. 11/5 - Messidor (1979) 12:45pm - a pacinoyes fav Sugar Cane Alley (1983) 4pm - Martinique-set near masterpiece 11/6 Innocent Sorcerers (1960) 7:55pm. Less political pic from Wajda, it's very charmingly done, Wilder-esque with some nouvelle vague, written with wit by Skolimowski, and an amazing score by Komeda.

I go way back with Yimou Zhang. It's very possible that the first foreign films I saw were his - Hero, House of Flying Daggers. When I realized that the same guy directed them, I knew what I had to do - watch all his movies. But there was a problem - Netflix (the slip-era, heyoo) had all his movies, except one: Keep Cool (1997) - It was precisely nowhere. This was fifteen years ago. To paraphrase Coppola, a cinephile never forgets. Literally have been checking around at least monthly since then, maybe it popped up somewhere..... No luck. It's been around but never with English subtitles. And then, just the other day, it was like any day, there it was!! See above. 1080p, subtitles ( thanks to a request from our very own Ugolin ). I know themoviesinner figured out some voodoo to see this, but idk if anyone else has and idk how many Yimou fans are here anyway, but it's a really interesting movie. It plays more like the French New Wave or Kar-wai Wong or Cassavetes than anything Yimou has done. The plot doesn't matter as much as its energy, crooked humor, and sense of spontaneity. The first half is a popping madcap comedy, about an anti-Romeo bookseller (Wen Jiang) who'd sooner pay street vendors to holler his own declarations of love (one peddler is played hilariously by Yimou himself)... but, throwing the rules out the window, Yimou bottles the movie into a one-location second half, going from tease to test, and it kinda turns into a Pinter standoff gone absurd, old guard vs new, as a vow of senseless violence is examined and reexamined. There's sarcasm to the joyous soundtrack, and lotta references in the clothing (New York) and props, like a bottle of cognac called Camus - whose quote “There is no randomness in choosing what dishonors you" gets at the paradox in the younger seeking generation, Yimou argues. Keep Cool is chaotic pop-cinema (a definite product of the 90s), a biting social satire, and surprisingly, an unlikely buddy-movie. Yimou lets loose, jolts the pace and keeps the handheld wide-lensed frame very close to the characters as if eating them. Not a perfect movie - and it'd benefit knowing how the scope of it shrinks - but for something I've waited this long to see, it didn't disappoint.
