Every movie addict probably keeps a list of “holy grail” films, ones they’ve longed to see for years on the big screen in their original theatrical release presentation but probably never will. While some peoples’ lists might include lost films such as the complete, uncut version of Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons or Tod Browning’s London After Midnight, my constantly changing list usually includes movies that aren’t yet classified as lost and just might turn up in a rare retrospective screening at some film archive, museum or film festival such as Claude Chabrol’s LES COUSINS (1959) or Satyajit Ray’s DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST (1970) or Ingmar Bergman’s NIGHT IS MY FUTURE  (1948). But my list isn’t all high brow art cinema and includes plenty of odd and eccentric films like William Castle’s IT’S A SMALL WORLD (1950), a drama about a conflicted circus midget (that bore the tagline “When the emotions and longings of a man are pent-up in the body of a child!”) and THE WILD EYE (1967), an exploitation drama made by Paolo Cavara, the co-director of Mondo Cane, that not only attacks the mondo genre but also his former partner, Gualtiero Jacopetti.
