A map to the most buried of cinematic treasures

SCOTT FOUNDAS, writing for the LA Weekly, knows how to find the movies that just aren't available anywhere else. Movies that are not available on DVD or out-of-print on VHS in the USA, or have never been to a theatre near you, and never will. These are the links to the sources he suggests:

Turner Classic Movies has the MGM archives
Fox Movie Channel has the 20th Century Fox archives
Facets Multimedia has an archive of out-of-print VHS and rents by mail
Film Movement distributes exclusive films on DVD by mail
Five Minutes to Live does DVD-R
Roberts Videos does mail-order
Super Happy Fun has mostly foreign titles
Masters of Cinema keeps track of release dates

You can read the article here to discover how and why these are the great sources for rare cinema.
