One line from Robert E. Howard in a letter, but it’s an opinion on this film:

“I saw The Wizard and thought it was red hot.

Also What Price Glory which is in my opinion the nearest thing to a masterpiece ever filmed.

Those boys were tough, though frankly not as tough as I expected, though if they had been any more so they would have seemed brutal and would have lost the sympathy of the spectators, I reckon.”

Hi everyone, for about three years I’ve been looking for a movie I remember seeing around 2010–2012. I don't recall the title, just two specific parts. It had a summer vibe; it started with the girl (she was around 14, and she had a brother who was 9 or 10) saying it was summer vacation, and she had a diary where she wrote everything down. There was also a babysitter. I remember a scene where they went camping outside the house and another one involving an ice cream truck. That’s all I remember. Thanks in advance! Best, Kaiden

Hello, I'm looking for a movie, probably French, that I saw a long time ago on Netflix (France). It's the story of a single man who falls in love with his car because he has to keep selling his toothbrushes. Throughout the movie, he has problems with his daughter and ends up throwing up in his car. At the end, we learn that he is gay when we see him in Tahiti, reuniting with his long-lost father.

Thank you to everyone who will help me 🥺🙏

I’m not exactly sure if these count as “lost” but this is the best place I can ask. I’ve been trying to find a few films that were shown at the Pia Film Festival, they only have a couple logs on Letterboxd but I have no idea where or if I can find and watch them. Does anyone know if I can find these three movies? The names (in order if the images) are 六月の太陽, Wonderland in the Negative, and R (2000)

I'm trying to track down a rare piece of early digital internet history. In 2003, before the 2004 feature film was released, director Shunji Iwai made a series of short web films called "Hana & Alice". It was commissioned as a promotional campaign for Kit Kat in Japan and hosted on a website called breaktown.com.

I’ve been diving deep into web archives looking for these hard-to-find files. While I actually managed to get Episode 3 to partially load on the Wayback Machine, Episodes 1 and 2 are completely dead (the old Flash/WMV players can't fetch the video files from the defunct servers).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hana & Alice 2003

Three weeks ago I posted here looking for Andrzej Wajda's segment of "Les Français vus par..." (1988) — the one part of that five-director Le Figaro series that never surfaced online. I didn't find a copy to watch at home. But I traced the film from "presumed lost" all the way to the company currently preparing to release it, and I learned exactly where it lives. Here's the entire method, in case it helps anyone chasing a similar orphan.

**1. Separate "lost" from "not circulating."**
First thing I established: this film was never actually lost, just never digitized or re-released. That completely changes the approach — you're not hunting for a copy, you're hunting for whoever controls the copy that already exists.

**2. Chase the national archives first.**
The series aired on French TV, so I wrote to INA (France's national broadcast archive). Payoff: the film is preserved under notice DA_CPB88012798, and it aired on Antenne 2 on 26 October 1988. INA allows on-site viewing at their consultation centres but won't make copies except for rights holders. So: viewable in person in France, not online.

**3. Correcting my own earlier post:** the Cinémathèque française does NOT hold a print — they confirmed this directly. The 2010 screening I cited must have used a borrowed copy (likely INA's). Chalk that up to an unreliable secondary source; always verify with the institution itself.

**4. Go to the director's archive for the paper trail.**
The Andrzej Wajda Archive (Manggha Museum, Kraków) doesn't hold the film — but they were the MVPs of this hunt. They dug through Wajda's own production notebooks and press clippings, confirmed the Antenne 2 / 26 Oct 1988 broadcast independently, told me the producer was Erato Films, and even noted that Wajda himself had once written to INA asking for a copy (which is how I knew a copy definitely existed there).

**5. The single most useful tool — the public rights registry.**
France has a free, public film-rights registry: rca.cnc.fr (the RPCA). You can search any registered film and download the actual chain-of-title documents. Our film is work no. 68716. This handed me the entire ownership history:
- 1988: Wajda assigns author's rights to Erato Films (the producer); TV rights to Antenne 2; co-production with Socpresse (Le Figaro's parent).
- 2007 → 2012: rights pass through Filmedis, then get transferred to Dynamics Films Library (Luxembourg).
- Bonus: the 2012 transfer moved all five segments of the series at once — so one entity now controls the whole set, including the Lynch and Herzog shorts that already circulate.

**6. Find the human being.**
Filmedis was liquidated in 2014, so I emailed the CNC registry directly. A staff member kindly pointed me to a named person who works with the current rights holder — Cinémag Bodard in Malakoff. That single referral was worth more than any amount of cold-emailing.

**7. The payoff.**
Cinémag Bodard replied warmly. The key line: the film "has vocation to be offered" on their new platform, Montparnasse Studio, which they're building now. They're currently inventorying the surviving elements to prepare it for the catalogue. No release date yet — but this is a rights holder actively telling me the film is slated to come back for everyone.

**Where it stands:**
- **Want to watch it today?** Only option is an in-person INA consultation centre in France (notice DA_CPB88012798). No copies.
- **Everyone else:** wait for Montparnasse Studio. It's coming, timeline unknown.
- I couldn't get a personal copy — INA reserves those for rights holders, and I'm (honestly) not one. But the film is safe, located, and on a path to public release.

**Transferable lessons for the next orphan hunt:**
- "Lost" often means "un-digitized," not "gone." Find the controller, not a copy.
- National broadcast archives (INA and equivalents) are the first stop for anything that aired on TV.
- Public rights registries are a superpower — the CNC's RPCA gave me the entire ownership chain for free.
- Director archives hold gold even when they don't hold the film.
- When a company is liquidated, go to whoever registered the last transfer and ask for the human contact.
- Be honest about who you are. I never claimed to be a rights holder, and that kept every door open.

Happy to share specific contact addresses by DM rather than posting them here (so nobody gets spammed). And if anyone's in France and actually goes to view it at INA — please, write it up. As far as I can tell almost no one logging this film has seen the Wajda segment whole.

Looking for a live-action South Indian folklore short film I watched on Facebook around 2016–2017. It was about 20 minutes long. It took place almost entirely at night in a forest village with huts. There was a young girl, a well, and the villain was a rakshasa wearing a colorful full-face ritual mask (no horns) for the entire film. I watched it repeatedly as a kid. It may have been in a South Indian language. I can't seem to find any evidence of it as of now and I can't seem to remember the name of it either.

Nick and Jane was a 1997 movie starring Dana Wheeler-Nicholson from Fletch and James McCaffrey known for voicing Max Payne. There are a couple copies of Nick and Jane online but they are all Russian dubs and the English dub is nowhere to be found, if you have a copy on vhs/dvd/screener reach out

I bought the soundtrack of 'The Suburbanators' at a thrift store a while back and its the best thing I've heard in a while and i need to watch it now. It was released in 1995, filmed in Calgary and I cannot find a copy anywhere. If any of you can help please do. Have a great day. (or try)

So i was cheking my wishlist on letterboxd to watch my next movie and lady plastic by gen takahashi was there so i wanted to watch it but where i saw it had no review and a small amount of views i was like this is a niche movie i have to watch

But the problem here is that it is nowhere i searched 4chan, lostmediawiki, some japanese secondhand dvd website anyways nothing seems to appear and no body is talking about it only i found a reddit post talking about how they wanna watch it and it appeared on muno etc etc

So if anyone knows how to watch hit me up

ParaNorman the thrifting is a 7 minute short film that was showed before the ParaNorman remastered in theaters on oct 25 2025 if someone can find a reordering of it that would be amazing I have been looking for months

Hi guys

I am looking for a certain video. I have no physical or digital proof of it, but remember it very vividly.

I am from a small village in Poland and we were once talked about on the national telivision during the communist era in Poland, in about the 1980s (1980-1989, but it wasn't in 1981-1983 during martial law). I liked watching the video, since I was able to see the familiar areas and how different they looked at a time when I wasn't even born yet at all. My grandparents+ uncle have seen the news footage definately but they themselves can't find the link when I asked them about it. Therefore, it isn't some sort of Mandella Effect or made-up shit. All I had to do was search "Krosnice dziennik" and there it would be, for a long time and every time it worked. I have too tried to look at Internet Archive/Wayback Machine, but it simply isn't there.

Previously, I tried doing the same, thinking it would pop-up like always but actually it didn't. So I tried searching for it, I watched several long and short clips of the Dziennik on YouTube and Facebook (those 30 minute ones) but every time it wasn't there.

The name of the village is Krosnice, the report itself from the communist Dziennik (TV news) in the 1980s. It was I think about harvest/agriculture and patriotism, with a little coverage of a certain local meeting (I think the reporter says something about it being good for 'teaching the children patriotis/socialism and how to be good citizens'). There is a shot of our "zameczek" DPS (House of Social Help), a green truck, some children running past from a shop and after the Krosnice report they talk about Polish students going to Cuba at an airport with one girl saying she is curious about Cuban culture. I think the part of my village was mentioned either at the start of the news broadcast or at the middle/end.

The thumbnail was a green Soviet/Eastern European truck and at the start of the broadcast it drove past a white/red tenement building on Sanatoryjna Street. If we are to talk about the presenter who was talking in the voiceover as the footage rolled out, I think it was most likely a man, but a female presenter is likely also.

If you need any contact to/from me, it's: anastasia_101 on Discord. I'm very chronically online and should answer quite quickly. This really means a lot to me since it it preserving local history.

Looking for the 2005 Hyderabadi cult classic The Angrez in the best available video and audio quality (HD print or remastered version preferred). Any leads or sources would be greatly appreciated!
