LET IT BE
WIRED
LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR (well worth seeing - a seminal 70s movie in every sense of the word) 
The STAR WARS movies
and (maybe) NAKED TANGO - need to check my records
My (Carroll) Baker's dozen most wanted (excluding TV movies and anything deemed officially "lost")
13 NOWHERE TO GO (1998) obscure teen drama with Carroll Baker as the nana
12 LE GRAND CHEMINS/OF FLESH AND BLOOD (1963) Hossein, Salvatore & Anouk Aimee adapted from Giono novel
11 ILLUSION (1929) Was once thought lost but has since been found and had showing in NYC a couple of years back - Nancy Carroll is nominal star but my interest primarily for early Kay Francis - only film of hers not seen yet.
10 ASPERN (1982) now that we are looking forward to a new version with Vanessa Redgrave would be good to see this earlier version of the Henry James tale with Alida Valli, Jean Sorel and Bulle Ogier.
9 THE BRIGHT SHAWL (1923) by all accounts rousing adventure tale with Barthelmess, D Gish, Mary Astor, William Powell and the debut of Edward G Robinson
8 LIONS ARE LOOSE (1961) Cardinale, Darrieux and M Morgan are the trio of urban women dazzling country boy Jean Claude Brialy in this comedy - has had official dvd release but no Subs
7 THE SINNER/DESERT DESPERADOES (1958) Ruth Roman swanning around in the desert - the only starring film of hers I have missed.
6 WHY BRING THAT UP? (1929) Sultry Silent star Evelyn Brent plus "blackface" comedian Mack and Moran - we can double bill it with SONG OF THE SOUTH when we track them both down 
5 BODY AND SOUL (1931) WW1 airforce spy drama with H Bogart & M Loy the second leads
4 ANOTHER MANS WIFE (1967) Spanish infidelity drama with Martha Hyer
3 THE NAKED BRIGADE (1965) Shirley Eaton as bikini clad partisan 
2 ANGELS OF DARKNESS (1954) tarts are made homeless when their brothel closes (1954) Darnell, A Quinn, Masina.
1 LES LOUVES/DEMONIAC/THE SHE WOLVES -1957 French Noir with Moreau & Presle - has had VHS release but no subtitles
Bonus! also CALYPSO JOE (1957) Calypso craze cash in with Herb Jeffries plus Angie Dickinson as an air hostess - It has had official release as extra in calypso CD box set but costs £100 !!!!!! 
Yes - and the internet has really helped
Funny how accessibility dependent on ones location - not sure where you based (I'm in London UK) -I had YEN and RED DUST on VHS and now on R2 dvd - and found TEMPLE DRAKE and CONSTANT NYMPH easily WINSLOW BOY was (is?) heavily televised. I hope you enjoyed RAISE THE TITANIC more than I did which I saw in early 80s the video era.
the old imdb boards on individual stars, films, directors etc were a godsend to anyone trying to locate obscure stuff. For years my most wanted was BIRDS IN PERU - I eventually coughed up £50 or so for a professional dealer to jointly purchase a copy (he sent three copies) ... now you can find it free on youtube!
I think a respected poster on imdb1 listed OUT1 as his fave movie... can't recall who though.
Nice thread BTW
