Critics Choice Video, Videomatica, Buy.com and CDWOW have many of the same films available as Amazon and Movies Unlimited.

Sinister Cinema specializes in "B" movies and has several hard-to-find Rathbone films available.

Amazon also has some of the out-of-print and rare films available through its Marketplace.  These films are not listed as being available at Amazon because it's constantly changing; what's available this week may not be available next week.

One U.S. supplier has master tapes (or 16 mm film) and will make videotapes or DVD-Rs of rare films for customers: Sid Bloomberg (SB).
