One of my favorite subjects in lost media is old silent films. But, since 70 percent of all silent films are lost, maybe forever. So I've only scratched the surface of every lost film, so if youve heard of a lost film then make a reply about it, id love to hear all about it. I might also make post about films I've already heard about before.

Yeah I know. I just feel like there are so many lost silent films people could spend a lifetime researching, and still not hear about everything. Plus im sure wikipedia doesnt have every movie listed so I wanted to hear more obscure stories from other users. Thanks for linking it though.

The Wiki is helpful, but there's no way it could log all the lost files out there. We're getting a general, broad look at things and there's plenty of lost films we know about that aren't logged on Wikipedia, let alone IMDb or Letterboxd for some of them.
I know on our Wiki, there's an article or section for rare and hard to find movies and that alone is really hefty. But, having something like this here and possibly incorporate it on the Wiki would be nice, like a subsection of the lost film section or go about it like the r/htf thing and links to said films would get added as they're made or found depending on their significance.
