Help with movie titles

ATTENTION: I have been providing this free movie research service for several years now, but it has recently become too time consuming. I will continue to provide this service for a fee. If you need my help, I can be reached at cinemaclips.com. Click on contact at the bottom of the home page. For those who have appreciated my work, many thanks.

TIPS - We have had several notices of "hard-to-find" videos being offered at auctions. You might want to check those sites periodically
