In the world of cinema, there are quite a few films that are sadly no longer available for us to enjoy. This is especially true of films that were produced around the turn of the 20th century when the film wasn't nearly as durable as it is today and it was impossible to simply digitize footage for archival purposes.
Studio fires are one of the biggest culprits for lost media. Countless films have been forever lost in blazes such as the 2008 Universal Studios fire, the 1937 Fox vault fire, and the 1965 MGM vault fire.
Apart from fires, some films have been lost due to a common practice back in the early days of the cinema of filming over the previously used tape. Apparently back then no one considered just how monumental some of these early works would be considered decades later.
Some films are completely gone and will never be seen again while others are only partially lost. There is a chance that some collector somewhere will one day discover that they have a lost or partially lost film in their possession, but until that day comes, we're simply left with what we have.
If you find lost media as fascinating as we do, watch this video to learn about several classic films that are missing footage that has never been found.
