I don't think it's quite that simple Mr J.
Over the years, as Rank Films division was broken up, rights to different films were bought up by different companies.
And then some of those companies went bankrupt or were taken over and sometimes just batches of rights were sold.

The upshot is that you have to track them down almost film by film.

The majority seem to have finished up with either Canal+ or Granada

Didn't CARLTON take on the bulk of the RFD library ? Hence the good films from the back catalogue which used to be on Carlton Cinema...

As Steve says, now probably absorbed into Granada Ventures.

Look on the BFI site to find out approximately who owns what (by production company). Granada International own the rights to the Rank films.
