Elusive Cinema: Films you've long wanted to see, but can't find anywhere

[LeftinOH]

..short of purchasing a copy, 'sight unseen.'

I've always wanted to see "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Narcissus" (both British Powell & Pressburger films from the 1940s). Can't find them anywhere.

What are yours?

1. The subtitled La Cage Aux Folles.

Not the dubbed, the subtitled. Hilarious movie.

[Orrex]

2. The Devil's Ball

A kind soul here in the Lounge once pointed me to a YouTube clip of this fantastic little film, but it's long since been removed.

3. Battle Royale

9. Netflix has Battle Royale

I know, cause that's where I saw it!

4. Ralph Bakshi's American Pop

IT seems every time I get near this flick, it dissapears.

5. Check out this Web site.

Seems that they have anything you would want in movies, videos and TV shows.

6. Yes, the documentary

Crossing Arizona. My library can't even get it for me through interlibrary loan!

Edit: I don't really want to buy it!

7. Black Narcissus is in print through the Criterion Collection

...who are working on re-presenting the entire Powell catalog.

You can rent it through Netflix!

8. I have Black Narcissus

You can get it on DVD. Stairway to Heaven is a different story. I also can't find A Small Back Room. I hope Criterion releases both at some point. I think they are available in the UK but that's obviously of no use to me since my DVD player won't read the DVDs.
