Just a few of the many messages I've received this week. I don't take any of this for granted, not one bit. Thank you so much everyone, for your kind words and for reminding me how important rarefilmm is. Sometimes I forget. It's been 11 years, but we keep going! 💪🙏❤️

Not out until April 2027 but this looks amazing! Extra points for including 3 cuts of the film.

For anyone struggling to OCR subtitles (converting vobsubs or pgs subs to srt) I recommend the Google Lens Sharp engine on the latest versions of Subtitle Edit, this used to be a pain especially with old dvd subtitles that used not the most clear fonts. It's super quick now 👌

As you can see it is even able to detect characters that are in a different language, in this case, Portuguese, even when you have the dictionary set to English, for this you usually had to stop the OCR and manually correct it each time, so stuff like this saves a lot of time.

Truly rare stuff right here, big ups to Bleeding Skull for digging this up in uncut form! I remember I tried to find this years ago but failed miserably, it had only been released in an edited, 90' version on VHS decades ago, this looks to be quite the upgrade from that.

To accompany this upload, I'd like to share Antoine Pellissier's once long-lost directorial debut LES PROIES DU MAL (1982), a 2 and a half hour lo-fi French horror movie with a very dreamy gothic atmosphere and a pretty awesome soundtrack. Just listen to these opening credits!

And no I didn't have the VHSRip, or I would have shared it haha. I found those screenshots on this blog, if you're interested in knowing more about this film it's a good read. splittoothmedia.com/les-proi…

Despite its utter obscurity and incomplete status, the mysterious three-hour epic may be Antoine Pellissier’s masterpiece.

Greed rules the world, and film distributors, streaming services are no exception, they don't care about helping films reach new audiences, they only care about profiting from it, and if you live in a poor country, well that's too bad, you don't deserve art. Fuck them all.

If you bookmarked the CHNGKING link but didn't manage to dl it dm me and I'll send it to you, I don't want to post it here again. I'll start posting a lot more on this account from now (name might change) to try to preserve this account. Hopefully I can stay here a bit longer.

If anyone here is looking for CHUNGKING EXPRESS (1994) with its original color grading, here's a link. This is the only way to watch the film as it looked in theaters in the '90s, and the only version that truly honors the work of DoP Christopher Doyle.

Btw if you're a subscriber to Criterion's streaming service you can find this this version there. That's where this rip comes from. Not my rip, all thanks to the original ripper 🫡

Halloween Triple Threat (first three Halloween movies) with original commercials as they aired on PHL-17, Philadelphia in October to early November of 1988. Thanks a lot to bakbang for the cool recording! Here's the intro to the first movie. gofile.io/d/yJggP4KD

American film twitter is so funny. Hopefully one day my biggest worry in life will also be if I should spend $500 on a Criterion box set or not.

Got a DM from someone who was looking for this one as the link from the uploader who posted it here months ago was dead. It's a WEB-DL from Plex, 720p and with English hardsubs, not the best but it's decent. Congratz to the Brazilian people for defeating evil, well done. 🇧🇷💪
