Members DRW50 Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 I know there are the preservation societies for films, but I was wondering if there was any type of website (beyond Wikipedia) which lists a lot of the lost movies or TV shows, and those that have been recovered, what some of the recovered films or TV shows have been. I guess I'm most interested to know whether or not they are still finding lost stuff. I know there is only so much to find but I hate to think that they aren't finding anymore. There are still so many old silent and early sound films, the Our Gang shorts, and so many old episodes of lost TV shows, like Doctor Who, Z Cars, the live anthology shows, et al. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 This forum is UK based, so they talk primarily about that, but they also talk about US shows as well. I'm a member of that forum, as I am a big music footage collector, and they have a sub-forum that deals with just that. http://missingepisodes.proboards.com/index.cgi#active 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted April 27, 2014 Members Share Posted April 27, 2014 For me the holy grail of lost films is "London After Midnight" with Lon Chaney Sr. No copies are known to exist although there are tons of photographs. Lon Chaney I think might have been the best silent screen star of all, and this was said to be a classic directed by Tod Browning, who was the master of silent macabre. It was remade year later with Bela Lugosi as "Mark Of The Vampire" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 It makes me sick to think of the tons of lost film and TV. Nearly all of the programming from the now defunct Dumont network was dumped in the east river in the 70's. Daytime TV has suffered the most when it comes to destroyed,wiped or lost footage. I read NBC kept wiping programming till the early 80's. A lot of people have speculated that most of Sale Of The Century's run has been lost except what episodes are airing on GSN. These same episodes are the ones USA reran in the 90's. I don't even have to mention all the lost soap footage. Another World is a prime example of tape wiping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
