when i hear it's partly found i'm hopeful you know there's actually a lot of Hitch's films lost, one was a short he did in (1930) and the rest are his silents both behind the camera and before he became a director and was a Title Designer

A lost film I would love to see is Lon Chaney's A BLIND BARGAIN (1922)

Street-Fighter (1959)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053311/

Produced, Directed & Staring Vic Savage, AKA Art Nelson, several years before he made The Creeping Terror...

According to reports, there's only one very poor VHS transfer known to exist.

I seen it! On tape! A looong time ago- like 1989. From a company like Video Search of Miami.

^Any good? Or cheesy? Or awful?^

Not any kind of good. Not even 'Bad' good.

I've read that many of cult no-budget horror/sexploitation director Andy Milligan's early films are lost.

...though if what little I've seen of his work that's survived is any indication, that may not be such a bad thing. That guy couldn't direct traffic. :D

[pennywise37]

if i recall wasn't some of his films found in recent years and those are the ones that are now on blu-ray?  i've never seen anything he's done so ya got me on how  god or bad his films are.

Here's a lost one I don't want to see...!

HIM (1974)- A gay porno about...Jesus?!?

"THE ACTORS AND MONSTERS ACTUALLY LEAVE THE SCREEN AND COME OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE"

s'pose this begs the question, are those actors and monsters lost as well ?

The Cure for Insomnia, listed by Guinness World Records as the longest movie ever made for years, apparently has no known extant copies.

Miracle of the White Reindeer - Saw this listed on KiddieMatinee's archive, with a note that they couldn't find a copy of the film. They contacted the daughter of the film's director, & her family didn't have a copy either. Seems like it was only released locally in the early 60's, as sort of a passion project by the girl's father. Makes me want to see it, but I doubt it still exists.

There was a SA movie made in the late 70s called "Mighty Man" - a black superhero righting wrongs in South Africa - which I get asked  about a bit: it seems to be a lost film as we don;t have it. It was directed by the person who made The Demon.

I tried watching The Demon today, but the picture quality on the copy was so poor I couldn't see what was happening on screen alas.

Most of Spencer William's films have been found, but Brother Martin: Servant of Jesus, is still lost.
