Greetings, people of Every ’70s Movie! Last month, I wrote a post asking for help
finding obscure ’70s flicks for review purposes, and I’m happy to report that
intrepid readers helped me track town Boardwalk (1979), The Double
McGuffin (1979), Marriage of a Young
Stockbroker (1971), Pigeons
(1970), Rivals (1972), Stand Up
and Be Counted (1972), and Sudden Death (1977). Thank you! (Here’s a
very special shout-out to reader Eric R. in Chicago, for service above and beyond
the call of duty.) Now it’s time for another list of ’70s movies that have
proved elusive. If anyone has access to copies of these films, please share.
Information about commercially released DVDs is helpful, since I’m thus far
stumped on these titles, and streaming links on legit sites are even better. If
by some chance you physically own tapes or videos and can loan or render
copies, please e-mail me directly. (It’s my preference to avoid download sites,
and I’m aware that some of these titles are available on such sites, so no need
to hip me to, say, RareLust.com.) Thanks in advance, and keep on keepin’ on!

Forget THE FARMER. Impossible. The Olsen Twins(Code Red and Scorpion DVD) own it and refuse to put it out.
ReplyDeleteI've talked to Walt Olsen who said he'd only release The Farmer if he can be guaranteed thousands of sales. Then he released some horror/ comedy The Dribbler w/ Fred Travalina....
ReplyDeleteIf he had a hot film like The Farmer, he'd have put it out...
Another 70s rarity directed by and starring George Peppard titled FIVE DAYS FROM HOME. Here's the IMDb page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077557/
ReplyDeleteTerry, FIVE DAYS FROM HOME is available on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteAll over "Five Days from Home." Watched and reviewed, just haven't posted yet. But good looking out. Very much a below-the-radar release.
ReplyDeleteI have a digital copy of Joe Hill, but I have been unable to find English subtitles for it! Not terribly useful.
ReplyDeleteVHS copies of NEWMAN'S LAW available on eBay:

here's 1 (I think maybe) you might not have come across Night Flowers 1979 w Gabriel Walsh
ReplyDeleteA number of these (NOT the Farmer) are available via the members only Cinemageddon site but I'm afraid you'll need someone with a much better download ratio than mine currently is to get them for you. They have MACKINTOSH & TJ, YOU AND ME, COAST TO COAST, JERUSALEM FILE, SKULLDUGGERY, TRADER HORN and others.
ReplyDeleteA few years back, Cycles South (1971) was on some legit streaming sites, and then fell off the radar. Can't seem to find a legit copy anywhere of that rather happy-go-lucky time capsule.
ReplyDeleteCoast to Coast is on Rarelust.
ReplyDeleteThe Jerusalem File is on Veehd.com
Mackintosh and TJ is available here http://penlandproductionsinc.com
The Nelson Affair is also on Rarelust
Newman's Law is at MyDuckisDead.org
Sammy Stops the World is available through ioffer.com
Two People can be found at modcinema.com
And Trader Horn is on TCM on demand until Oct. 26. Better hurry!
