I still haven't mastered it. And I can't find any audio samples off the net.

Maybe you can find reruns of Charro on the Tonight Show.

What languages have the Rs rolled? I can think of Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Arabic, Italian, Gaelic, and some dialects in the UK.
What others did I miss?

I don't exactly know what the Spanish rolled R is like, but keep trying and exaggerate. Don't be afraid to try it out. Just keep saying it until it sounds right to you.

They're not all the same, though.

I pick the spanish rolling R from those pimsleur tapes. They start you saying a 'th' sound and move it over to the R that is desired. I still don't do it right all the time, but when I've been talking long enough they come out and I don't even relize what I did until later.

How forgivable is it to not roll the R well? Does Brazilian Portuguese have rolled Rs?
