List of lost films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 91.135.5.122 (talk) at 22:40, 23 June 2013 (→1960s). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Lon Chaney, Sr. appeared in numerous films that are now lost. This still is from The Miracle Man (1919), a famous and sought after lost film.

For this list of lost films, a lost film is defined as one of which no part of a print is known to have survived. For films in which any portion of the footage remains (including trailers), see List of incomplete or partially lost films.

Films may go missing for a number of reasons. One major reason is the widespread use of nitrate film until the early 1950s. This type of film was extremely flammable, resulting in several fires, such as the 1967 MGM Vault fire and the 1937 Fox Pictures' vault fire.[1] Nitrate film was also melted down for its silver content.[2] Films may also become lost because production companies went bankrupt, or because no one thought the movies were worth saving.[2] Occasionally studios would remake a film and destroy the earlier version.[2]

This is necessarily an incomplete list. Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation claims that "half of all American films made before 1950 and over 90% of films made before 1929 are lost forever."[3] Deutsche Kinemathek estimates that 80-90% of silent movies are gone;[4] the film archive's own list contains over 3500 lost films. While others dispute whether the percentage is quite that high,[5] it is impractical to enumerate any but the more notable and those that can be sourced.

  56. ^ "[T]hat summer [of 1996], I booked my first [serious acting] role, in an independent movie called Puppet. [...] This film, which to this day I have never seen because I don't think it's possible to purchase a copy of it anywhere at any price, starred Rebecca Gayheart and Fred Weller [...] I don't know anyone who has ever seen or even heard of Puppet. All I can say is that it was screened in a theater at least once, because my manager went to see it." Lange, Artie, with Anthony Bozza and Howard Stern (2009). Too Fat to Fish, Random House Digital, Inc, ISBN 9780385526579, p. 172)
