Honestly who cares. I mean yeah it's sad that a piece of cinema history is gone forever but even if we had access to those films most people would never watch them even if they were truly the greatest films of all time. Not only that but how advanced could things like the writing and camera work have been back then anyhow? How good could the acting have been? I'm sure that during the filming of most of those films, Directors, Actors, etc. were just trying weird things because the whole genre of cinema was new. Most of those films would probably be unwatchable by todays standards

[@james312]

It’s fascinating to think that so many lost movies/shows are actually on VHS tapes in video hoarders’ collections, but with collections so big, they don’t realise or care that they may have one of the only remaining copies. Eventually, people die and families clear out hoards of this stuff too, throwing away everything that wasn’t a family video. Lots of lost media is still out there, silently sitting there, unplayed in a collection of thousands, just waiting for the day it gets thrown into a black bag, and there are no more copies left.

[@Gatorade69]

There's plenty of lost media that people don't even know are lost. Like look at some of the found ones, it took saying "Hey, does anybody remember this ?"

Just a note that the Phantom Blood movie wasn't the first on-screen adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; instead it was the Stardust Crusaders OVAs which aired from 1993-1994 and from 2000-2002.

[@Sunless-shade]

@modestmismagius105 destroying something on purpose doesn't make it lost. Nor does not distributing it. It's a misleading title. Putting films that are destroyed in a fire in the same category as non distributed content just isn't genuine. If the title said "films you can't watch anymore" then it would actually be accurate. Of course that title wouldn't be as attractive for people but it would be more genuine and build better trust from the viewers. Edit: one of the films actually was sent out when someone just asked for it. It woukd have been interesting to see if other movies could be accessed this way instead of just marking them off as lost. Contacting the companies could also show a lot about why they aren't being distributed if anyone replied. I get this is just a brief video probably made entirely by reading some list article but the title is misleading and it could have had some interesting research. I support this channel and its content and want to see it improve, that's why I'm saying any of this, and based on other comments im not alone.

The fact that there are likely thousands of old films that were around at one point, but nobody knows about their existence today.

48:52 Zhuangzi or Master Zhuang was an ancient Daoist philosopher.

55:10 There's another popular lost Indonesian film; it's called "Pocong" ("Shrouded Ghost" in english), originally slated to be released around 2005. It's a horror/slasher film about a shrouded corpse who haunts people who have wronged them. The movie didn't pass the censorship standards and was subsequently banned because it brought back the old wounds of the 1998 Indonesian regime change riots and a subplot of the film was deemed "too offensive" towards minority races by the Indonesian censorship boards. The film's final cut was also said to be too violent and gruesome. Now, what remains of the film is just a short international teaser trailer for festivals & a teaser poster. Though, despite its cancellation, the director of the film decided to go make a sequel of the film, titled "Pocong 2", in 2006, which became one of the most famous Indonesian horror films of that decade, and was followed by two sequels; "Pocong 3" in 2007, "The Real Pocong" in 2010, and a remake, "Pocong: Origins" in 2019 (this one was a 'soft reinterpretation' of the OG banned film's story, if i'm not mistaken)

For William Friese Greene, he wasn’t the creator of cinematography. He was the creator of Kinematography (pronounced with a hard k) , a blending of the words kinetic and photography. Moving pictures.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the films of Colleen Moore, though I'm sure you didn't want the whole thing to be dominated by the 90% of silent films that have been lost. If you didn't know about her, it's really interesting: Despite being a huge star, which almost single-handedly popularized the bob haircut in the 1920's, more than half of her films are considered lost due to the sheer neglect of the Museum of Modern Art. She sent in her own personal copies in the 1940's to be preserved properly and they put them aside and forgot about them for decades. By the time she had inquired about the films they were decayed beyond saving and she was devastated and spent the rest of her life trying in vain to find other prints.

As someone who HAS seen Mess O Blues since my father worked on JB, it was entertaining. Even I have urged Van to release it to the public. I haven’t seen it in well over a decade and a half, so I won’t be able to remember much, sadly, since my memory is fading somewhat.

My genuine thought process is that Foodfight was an elaborate insurance fraud scheme. I mean, you tell me that someone just stole a bunch of hard drives, and early 2000s computer hard drives at that, of a film involving food mascots, let alone one from a studio most known up to that point for adaptations of Mortal Kombat?

Those who are searching "Heartbeat in the Brain" might have some luck in Poland. Believe it or not this (or some other documentary featured the scene of her drilling her skull) was aired in Polish TV in late 90's early 2000's. I was little kid but I vividly remember that scene.

Amanda Feilding's life and story are fascinating and 100% worth their own deep dive video! She actually originally tried to find a doctor to perform her trepanation, but they all refused so she used two dentist drills for her trepanation instead (the first one broke). Her pet pigeon featured in the film is named Birdie, the same as her second kid's middle name. In addition to "Heartbeat in the Brain," she and a friend, Bart Hughes, wrote a medical school thesis on the benefits of trepanation on a literal scroll. Bart Hughes was later kicked out of medical school for naming his daughter "Maria Juana." Amanda also ran for parliament (she's the descendant of a duchess so she had the money) under the message of sharing trepanation with the public, which surprisingly gained traction from people who thought she was satirically saying they need a government like they "need a hole in the head." There are also some photos of Joey Mellon performing his own trepanation if you're curious. She's recently been featured on both Dua Lipa and Joe Rogan's podcasts for her psychedelic research with the Beckley Foundation too. Truly a one in a generation woman!

I can't stop thinking about the premise of The Werewolf 1913. So she comes back after 100 years and the guy that killed her boyfriend is still around? I feel like that is less believable than her turning into a wolf. I guess it depends on when the boyfriend was killed, because it could have been way after she died. Still, this will live rent free in my head for at least a week now.

I don’t think this classifies on lost media but I recently remembered an old Lego video I used to watch when I was little. You see back in 2009 Lego had a theme known as Power Miners where the titular Power Miners dig underground and fought rock monsters. The video in particular that I’m talking about was a really well made stop motion video where three male power miners are simping over this woman power miner (note there were no official female power miner characters but I digress) and when one of them goes to talk with her she begins to sing a song to him. Her mouth was also fully animated too unlike the other characters in the video. As she sang rock monsters proceeded to act as her backup singers causing two of the power miners to run away in fear as she sang and the one who tried to talk with her trying to escape. The video from what I can remember was very well animated being completed stop motion aside from the mouth of the female power miner. I’ve tried looking for it on KZbin to no success. One detail I do remember is they all sing in unison the words (if I remember correctly) “K N U C K” and the only word related I can think of is knuckle. I don’t expect any aid in searching for this but it’s something I thought I’d try to throw into the Lost Media world. Thank you for your time.

[@connorrorison4247]

One “lost” (kinda, we’ll get into it) film I desperately want to see is the original English language version of Footsteps In The Snow (1966). It’s a Canadian thriller film that’s really only notable for being the penultimate film appearance of Veronica Lake (1922 - 1973), who was a major star in the 1940s. For some reason it’s only available online in German, and the only other reel that’s been found also had a hardwired dub on it. It’s a long shot that anyone will ever find it considering how uneventful it’s release was, coupled with the fact that other than Lake, none of the cast or crew are particularly notable in film history

An excellent iceberg would be a lost music iceberg. The amount of lost, or at least undiscovered, music out there is absolutely insane. There's stuff like unreleased masters, or the tons of random manuscripts of sheet music from unknown to famous composers from centuries ago. Then there is what I like, which is all the 45 and 78 RPM records from all over the world that have never been re-released.

A pet peeve that i have about lost media is when someone has a movie that is completed but they choose not to release it.

[@clarkthatcher8165]

Another honorable mention that isn’t really a whole film but more like an ending, was the ending of Dr. Strangelove! In the original script, a pie fight scene happens. It was filmed but cut due to Stanley Kubrick not really liking it, plus with some certain lines said by general Turgidson that were eerily similar to the JFK assasination (which happened the day Dr. Strangelove was supposed to be released). So it got cut, and it was only shown once in 1999, and the only things that remain are a good handful of stills.
