With so many specialized movie torrent trackers and DDL forums around, you’d think you have access to all the flicks internet has to offer. However, there are some sites waiting to be discovered that index content not found anywhere else – yep, sites like Surreal Moviez. Surreal movies is a huge direct download link forum with tons of movies – unlike most other similar sites of this genre, SM focuses on non mainstream flicks - “Here at SurrealMoviez, the focus is away from the mainstream, leaning heavily towards experimental movies, surreal movies, independent movies, extreme cinema, artistic movies... etc...”. SM offers direct downloads to a diverse set of content spanning across several decades – from movies made in early 1900s to late 2000s. Both English and non English flicks are indexed.
It may not be the most talked about DDL forum on the net but Surreal Moviez is pretty big. It’s index is huge by any standards and contains 25000+ titles. This includes movies, shorts and documentaries. As said above there is a diverse variety of content here – SM has retro, classic movies made in early 1900s as well as new, modern movies produced in the late 2000s. In addition to the large number of English movies available, SM indexes many non English movies such as those in Russian, French, Italian, Mandarin, German, Korean, Romanian (and the list goes one).
Having a huge amount of movie download links would not do any good unless they are organized properly. Thankfully, SM does a pretty impressive job at presenting what it indexes. The main browse page is well organized and each movie displays Year, Director, IMDB rating, Country and Language information next to it’s title. You can search for a movie using the built in search or browse the index in alphabetical order. There are some other cool features such as Directors collections, actors/actresses collections, other movie collections, etc – all of these are accessible through the ‘Movies Section’ located on top of left sidebar. Individual movie description pages are also detailed and come complete with screen captures, cover art, movie summary and of course, download links.
Speaking of download links, Surreal Moviez does not host any files on it’s own servers. However, it indexes verified, non fake download links to files hosted on services such as RapidShare. Some of the file are password protected and the password is usually given in movie description page.
Registrations for SM are currently open. If you are a movie lover, a collector or an enthusiast, this is a forum you’ll want to become a member of.

I've been a member here for a while, and it's an excellent site.
HUGE database of movies.
There's also lots of info posted about each movie, including the specs of it. Mirrors are posted if need be too.
There's also directors and actors collections on the site.
Friendly atmosphere with people posting rare movies.
very good. thank you..
Anyone know what happened to horrorflix?
whoaaaa,amazing collection of films there!
thank you,filenetworks team.everything i need,and have been looking for.what a wonderful thing.thanks.
damn,i just have to post again.this has made me almost drunk with excitement.
i have to thank you again,filenetworks team.this community is just fucking great.a movie i have been trying to find for months,and it's there.
what the hell, it seems i have found some treasure!
i love films,and this is just wonderful.
haha kankar glad you found it useful.
SurrealMoviez is really a great site. it's a kind of karagarga ddl.
btw, kankar, you should try karagarga too! I'm sure you will love it.
i would love to,Fernando,but you know it is a private community without any open signups,and i have no idea how to get invited to it!
but,what i have found in surrealmoviez is just fantastic.newer films are easily available,but it's the older and less conventional ones that are hard to get.and this place has tons of them!
it surely is heaven for film-lovers.
Thanks a lot!
I am told that one must become a paid-up Premium Member of RapidShare in order to download movies - or anything for that matter.
Is this correct ?
well kayhaytha,i don't know of any such 'rule'.i became a member yesterday,and i have already downloaded two films,and i don't have a premium account at rapidshare[but i did read the rule that one must have the premium account or a collector's account to upload films].
it's just that having a premium account saves you from waiting.
i had to wait for some time,and disconnect and connect again to download the parts the films had been divided into to bypass the rapidshare limitation of a certain amount of download in a day for an ip address.
it is a bit tedious but i am ready to do that for rare content not available to me anywhere else!
kankar, not being IT literate, I could use some help here. I have down-loaded 3 of 8 files. The first one can be played using VLC player. But attempts to play the second and third using VLC return a message "unknown format".
My questions :
Do I have to 'join' all the 8 .avi files before playing the movie ?
Which Player should I use ?
Thanks in advance
you must download all the files to view the complete film,kayhaytha.
the rar files that you have downloaded are compressed parts in which the complete film has been divided.
when you have all the parts,you should open the first rar archive using winrar[or even winzip or any other software you have for compressed files.even the default windows applicationmay work here,i think].
now choose to extract it to a specified location or you can choose 'extract here' to extract at the same location where all the rar files are.here,you must remember that while extracting,all rar files for the same film should be inside the same folder.
now,the complete film would be extracted in its original media format and you can watch it.
i hope this helps.do post if you face any problems.
Thanks, kankar for the prompt response. Much appreciated. However, the files that I am downloading are AVI files and not RAR.
So the question that I have to ask (again) is :
Have I got to 'join' the 8 files using some software (what ?)before it works ?
Or have I got to use a specific Player ? (what ?)
To date I have tried VLF, DivX, Media Player and Media Player Classic.
Thanks again in advance for your time
oh,i went ahead giving the lecture assuming you had the rared files!
well,if they are separate avi files,then each one should be playable without a need to join with the others.strange.you have tried all those media players too.if you can,try to play using kmplayer too.if even this does not work,the file may have got corrupted[although i have no idea how it could have,if a working one was uploaded in the first place! just an assumption].
in case of failure still,could you post the download link to one of the problem-causing files.i can download it and see if the problem persists.
don't hesitate,i'm glad to be of any help!
The links to 2 files are as follows
http://rapidshare.com/files/327152837/lrsh.avi.002
http://rapidshare.com/files/327158023/lrsh.avi.003
The size of each is 100mb. The message I get with VLF is "Unknown format".
Thanks again kankar for really extending yourself to help me solve this problem. I have also sent an email to the Uploader of the movie. Will keep you informed of his response.
oh,by seeing the names of the links,this may just be a very simple filename issue,actually!
just right-click the file,and click rename,and then rename each of the files so that the names end in .avi,not .avi.002 or .avi.003 et cetera.
you can name them anything,just the file extension should be .avi.
hmm,just to make sure the settings on your system are such as to make changing the extension easy,follow these steps[i am assuming you are using a windows operating sysem]:
- open the folder options dialog box from the menu bar inside any drive partition or from control panel.
- once there,go on the view tab,and make sure that the 'Hide extensions for known file types' box is unchecked.if not,uncheck it,and click ok.
these steps will configure your operating system to show the file extensions of all file types,and you can change them,as and when required.
- now,change the names of these media files as mentioned above.
well,that is the solution,i hope.do post back the result of this.
Use hjsplit software to join .001 extensions buddy n play the movie in vlc or km player or gom :)
Thanks kankar and kishorebharath for your advice and suggestions.
I will set about implementing such advice over the next few hours and inform you of the result.
kankar & kishorebharath,
hjsplit software from freebyte.com did the trick !!
Many, many thanks from an IT-idiot.
great.a much simpler solution at last!
the filename change would still have you end up with 8 separate files.this one combines them all.this is better.
Looks like something to check out. Im always looking for more info on certain classic movies and where to find them

Hey! I would really much like to have an invitation for Surreal Moviez! I had just a few days ago some intensive lessons given by Andres Duque, an experimental videoartist from Spain, and I'm terrifically attracted by this kind of cinema. I also have started my own webpage in tumblr where I post experimental movies that I make. It's called Jordania. I hope it's possible, my e-mail adress is daniel@olmosochoa.com
Thanks very much
I would like to get an invitation !
