The List is now on the 3rd page alphabetical and with all errors taken out. I worked on it for a long time. I will make another post of it without the spaces soon. ENJOY!! And don't forget to sell me one of these real cheap if u snag one from an unsuspecting seller at some yard sale or some shit.
Saw someone looking for these and I wanted a nice comprehensive list myself. I ripped this from a link provided by CAG member IKOHN4EVER from DVDTALK. I copied and pasted what their members were listing as rare or OOP. Other than reading pages of posts, here's the good stuff. Duplicates i'm sure are in there. I have retooled the list and if someone wants the file to fix and post it is all complete. Just PM me your email.

Is the Usual Suspects in the plasic slipcase rare or The Andromeda Strain?
Tool: Salival - there were 50,000 copies printed in 2000, and now it seems to be considered very rare. Unfortunately, my CD is slightly scratched, but the DVD is in great condition
Cinematic Orchestra: Man With a Movie Camera - Corvin mentioned this one, too. I haven't seen it ANYWHERE (eBay, amazon, etc.) since.
Eraserhead - not exactly "rare", but definitely a "specialty" item that was worth every penny.
Wicker Man LE - wooden box with two different cuts of the film.
A few OOP Criterions (Silence of the Lambs, Straw Dogs). I would have had the Wrong Men & Notorious Women set, but was scammed on amazon.com marketplace. On the upside, I got my money back, but now the set is way more expensive.
The Red Desert
nekromantik limited signed european edition, only 111 copy all around the world
Starcrash collector edition signed by Luigi Cozzi
demons boxset limited edition (JP)
sergio leone collection - limited
Shoeshine (R1 version) - This went out of print right after it was released. It shows up on ebay occasionally and almost always sells for over $100. In fact there's one on there now that's up to $51 with a day left to go. It will probably shoot up over $100 towards the end...
Pixote
Pig (Rozz Williams) - I suppose this would actually be the rarest i have as there were only a thousand or two made.
Clownhouse - This one should be really rare but it's not for some reason. It was recalled before it ever hit the stores a year or two ago yet you can find brand new copies all day long on ebay for less than the normal street price of a new dvd. Where are all those copies coming from?
Parents - Fairly rare, you don't see this one for sale too often. On the other hand it's not particularly desirable and therefore not particularly valuable either.
Other recently out of print stuff, not particularly rare or valuable (as far as I know):
I Will Walk like a Crazy Horse
Viva la muerte
Presence of Mind
The Tree of Wooden Clogs

Shoeshine (R1 version) - This went out of print right after it was released. It shows up on ebay occasionally and almost always sells for over $100. In fact there's one on there now that's up to $51 with a day left to go. It will probably shoot up over $100 towards the end...
Pixote
Pig (Rozz Williams) - I suppose this would actually be the rarest i have as there were only a thousand or two made.
Clownhouse - This one should be really rare but it's not for some reason. It was recalled before it ever hit the stores a year or two ago yet you can find brand new copies all day long on ebay for less than the normal street price of a new dvd. Where are all those copies coming from?
Parents - Fairly rare, you don't see this one for sale too often. On the other hand it's not particularly desirable and therefore not particularly valuable either.
Other recently out of print stuff, not particularly rare or valuable (as far as I know):
