Interesting list. Which one have you seen? Here are the list for those who do not want to watch the video: #1. "Song of the South" (1946) #2. "Nothing Last Forever" (1984) #3. "C*cks*ck*r Blues" (1972) #4. "Let It Be" (1970) #5. "The Day the Clown Cried" (1972) #6. "Wired" (1989) #7. "A Fistful of Fingers" (1995) #8. "Naked Tango" (1991) #9. "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (1977) #10. The Original, Unaltered "Star Wars" Trilogy (1977-83)
Back in my IMDb profile, I listed films that I try to find. I found almost all of them except these:
The Assault (Netherlands 1986), Dir. Fons Rademakers Last Five Days (West Germany 1982), Dir. Percy Adlon Atlantik (Germany 1929), Dir. Ewald André Dupont Les Misérables (France 1925), Dir. Henri Fescourt
What other films that are hard to find for you?

"Looking for Mr. Goodbar" - I watched it on cable TV a long time ago. Original, Unaltered "Star Wars" Trilogy (1977-83) – Saw each movie at a movie theater upon first release. I also have the first Star Wars movie on VHS.

The original Star Wars films aren't that hard to find. They were on VHS, laserdisc (including a Definitive collection), as well as the special edition DVD's that came out a few years ago as special features. I didn't say they were the best quality though. Obviously no remastered blurays or 4k streaming. I saw Song of the South in the theater in '86 or '87. Back when Disney re-released a lot of their more important films from time to time. I miss those days. Here is one that is impossible to find in the US, I believe mainly due to music rights issues:

You can find most of those on the web. I believe Song of the South remains available outside the US by Disney.
The Simpsons did a joke where someone is "looking for Mr Goodbar."

I had the original Star Wars movies on VHS up until recently. And I did see Looking For Mr. Goodbar on TV many years ago. As for the rest? Nope. I cannot find this movie anywhere.

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 !!!!!!

This looks very interesting, especially considering the political environment in the Middle East in the early 1980's.

(I originally saw it in the movie theater in 1980.)

Looking for hard to find movies is a fun challenge. Over the years, it took effort for me to find the following though some have been released on video since then.
Bastard Out of Carolina (1996)
Profumo di donna (1974) The Story of Temple Drake (1933) The White Rose (1982)
Syskonbädd 1782 (1966) The Pied Piper (1942) La traviata (1982) Raise the Titanic (1980)
Winslow Boy (1948) Chicago (1927)
La passion Beatrice (1987) Little Dorrit (1987)
The Constant Nymph (1943) The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932)
Red Dust (1932) Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy (1976)
These I found but haven't watched yet since they are extremely long:
La Révolution française (1989) Shoah (1985) Out 1 (1971)

The Very Thought of You (1944). TCM plays this about once every two years, but it's never been released on VHS or DVD.

A source for GRAND CHEMINS Would be welcome, esopecially if subbed in English!
Actually I have source for the Shirley Eaton one but it is based in Pakistan and I'm frankly wary of new sites that don't take paypal and it looks like they want $50 Postage - No doubt that Shirley in a Bikini and machine gun is worth much more than that but I can't afford it at present.
Thanks
