Author Comments: 

I've seen the numbered ones.
I own the ones preceded by asterisks.

Except for the last two titles, these were taken from the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

I have looked for these at the library, IMDB.com, Greencine.com, Amazon.com, Netflix.com, Facets.org, and Nicheflix.com, eBay, Video Library. I try to indicate where I've found them.
