Most definitely not an obscure film, but Come And See is on YouTube with English subtitles

Cronache di poveri amanti (Chronicle of Poor Lovers), a film I love very much from a book I love very much. It is about a group of people living in one tiny street in Florence and the growing tide of fascism in the late 1920s. Marcello Mastroianni and Anna Maria Ferrero are among the stars. Very good English subtitles available.

I loved this..... had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time.
Before Diner there was Peeping Times (1978) - Barry Levinson's producing and directing debut...an NBC aired comedy special but really sort of a little feature mockumentary in its own right, and very underrated. Among the 7 cowriters are Christopher Guest (!) and a bunch of Emmy-winning dudes who wrote for Carol Burnett, Jerry Lewis, and Mel Brooks who makes a great cameo here as Hitler (“You tried getting cinnamon passed my schmeck?"). David Letterman, before he launched, is a costar as hosting reporter.
The gags are clever and hilarious..... An entire town keeping the myth of Bigfoot alive, to keep the tourists coming...... the first self service hospital ("We'll franchise it like McDonalds")...... experimental nutritionists (“Tumbleweed is a great source of nutrition. Of course you have to chase it, so you get exercise too")...... or the construction worker who keeps getting denied from the convent for being too tall ("There’s a lot of nun in me and I’m gonna go all the way, baby").
Only 50m but the link is longer bc it includes the original commercials which are mistakable next to the parodies lol. I didn't know Charles Bronson actually hosted the Golden Globes of '78....

Eating Raoul, one of the... stranger comedies I've seen. I dig it though.

rarefilmm.com/2021/04/dans-la-ville-blanche-1983/In the White City (1983) was just added to this site in its best ever quality.... I own the VHS but there hasn't been a proper remaster/release I know of so there's no comparison. It's one of the holy grail movies pacinoyes recommended way back in the day - along with Série Noire, The Legend of the Holy Drinker, many others..... movies that were highly praised but lived up to the praise, that were almost impossible to find but when found, like anything, the pursuit made it seem a little more special, like unearthing an artifact. Well, now it's as close as a click. It's a small Swiss masterpiece.... among the very best perfs from Bruno Ganz...... as a sailor who jumps ship and lingers around Lisbon like a watchful spirit, except he's all too human. Reminiscent of a bit of The Master and Antonioni tho I prefer it over his filmography. As Blow Up was based on a Julio Cortázar story, this movie quotes Cortázar with the great metaphor of the axolotl and their "immobility" - as Ganz' forlorn sailor is stuck and escaping at once. It's a very tenderly interesting character study with a subdued, hinting touch by Alain Tanner.

Bullets Don't Come Back (1967), one of the greatest films of Greek cinema is on Youtube with English subtitles. The subtitles are pretty good (translation wise) as far as I can tell and the film is well worth watching. It's a western, but done the Greek way.

Does anyone know where I might find Killer of Sheep? I'd love to watch it for the 1970s poll but I can't find it anywhere ok.ru/video/liveappSearch "killer of sheep 1977" and it'll pop up. Ok.ru is a good place to find movies in general.

The City of the Dead (1960) - A really fun & campy '60s horror with Christopher Lee. Great creepy cinematography and atmosphere. I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I did. Fun fact - Rob Zombie sampled the "Superstition, Fear, and Jealousy" line from this film and placed it in Dragula.

Here are both parts of Die Nibelungen (1924) from Fritz Lang available on Youtube with English titles. I just finished the first part - Siegfried and will probably hold off on Kriemhild's Rache for sometime later this week. Siegfried was excellent though. Also, here is the hard to find The Crowd (1928) from director King Vidor. Until last month or so, I hadn't been able to find a version of it anywhere. The intertitles are in English, but there are French subtitles below them. If you don't mind that, then this is a must see. It's on Internet Archive, which is a reliable site. archive.org/details/lafoulethecrowd1927kingvidorvosttcm

The Old Dark House, a delightful horror comedy by James Whale.

And that same channel has a movie I haven't seen called Pulgasari, which is apparently a North Korean kaiju movie directed by a guy who was kidnapped by the North Korean government and forced to make movies. If that isn't worth checking out for curiosity's sake, nothing is.

As promised to Martin Stett in the Best Villain 1920s thread, here's a Lon Chaney double feature - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). Both of these are incredibly crisp versions of the films on youtube, so I needed to share them here.

The Grey Fox (1982) in HD. Javi As Kael said, "This picture has the most lovingly photographed rain since MCCABE & MRS. MILLER." In fact, it's altogether lovingly done without ever feeling like it shouldn't feel that way. It renders its true story and the genre in quite a lyrical way, under 90m, and brings to mind the Yeats line "Grant me an old man's frenzy." But the Farnsworth perf isn't mad at all, but gentle, private - he seems to challenge the criminal myth. And there's the breathtaking cinematography and the inspired music. Check it out, Western-heads.

Uploaded early this year, best online copy I've seen yet of Ladybug Ladybug.... here are some thoughts: Ladybug Ladybug (1963)Holy harrowing! Tautly yet tenderly directed by Frank Perry, with an excellent cast of characters. My only complaint is that the hilarious kid that got sent to the principal's office exited the film so soon. This would've been riveting if it was just 'Lord of the Flies in a fallout shelter' for 80 minutes too. Kids talking about war and nukes... fascinating, depressing, and... hilarious ("my cat doesn't like loud noises." ). Absolutely jawdropping and heartbreaking conclusion too. Some old fogey in the IMDb reviews says they haven't looked at an abandoned refrigerator the same way since they saw this as a kid in 1964... and I'll probably feel the same way from now on. Phenomenal movie. Katy Perry's Uncle was on fire in the '60s - if it wasn't a masterpiece (The Swimmer, Last Summer), it was a gem (A Christmas Memory). This is between the two, though it's insanely underrated - it flopped on release and came at a crucial period, few weeks after the JFK assassination, few weeks before Dr Strangelove... it pushes specific fears to then....and in tone to now (more last year). Perry needs a boxset from Arrow or Criterion or something. Lotta great essays to be written on his work, and the work needs remastering. I like how they set this in Gradyville Pennsylvania... an actual 'unincorporated community', a town so small its population is excluded from the census. That context adds to the cryptic strandedness on screen. Also s/o to Liv Soprano and Mr Feeny's first job.

Viced Good lookin out, lotta interesting stuff and besides the Bavas, a lot of horror I haven't even heard of! Outside of horror... I'd recommend to you - Beasts Clawing At Straws, a good Korean crime pic from last year... and The Chase (1946) an underrated noir that plays out like a nightmare, with off-kilter details, a peeping around Peter Lorre, and an unforgettable villain in Steve Cochran. Best to watch really late at night.

NOW AVAILABLE IN 720P
My favorite film of 1967, Marat/Sade. I know that it was available on DVD at one point, but it is out of print and excessively expensive now. It's a stagebound movie (based on a popular, award-winning play), and director Peter Brook sees that as an asset, nursing the enclosed space for all it is worth.
As an added bonus, there are subtitles in several languages here, including English. So if you're having a little trouble with the accents, you can switch them on.

Love Torn In A Dream (2000) by Raul Ruiz is available with English subtitles on Youtube. It's one of his best films for me and among my favorite films of this century as well.

I made a thread a few months ago, asking what movies were based on commercials. Mattsby one-upped me and told me of a movie that *is* a commercial for Samsung. Well, I watched Untact and it is adorable. I want to hug it. It is from the director or I Saw the Devil, if you happen to be a fan of that.

I grabbed a random movie out of Cheesecake's horror recommendations today and came up with Lo, a romantic comedy about a man summoning a demon to rescue his girlfriend from Hell. Hilarity ensues. Alas, it is only available in 280p.

Beauty and the Beast (1978) directed by Juraj Herz. Pretty interesting retelling of the story within a Horror context.
