Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings

The Ones that got away: The movies I couldn't find

If you've looked over this site, you'll notice that I've seen quite a few movies. However, I'm far from having found and seen every movie I've looked for. In fact, some of the movies have eluded me for so long, I've dropped them from my hunt list.

What follows is a list of the movies that I've failed to find. I list the movie, the year, the director, and my guess to its existence status; some of them appear to be LOST, which I will probably never find. Some of them are HARD-TO-FIND, which means that I have reason to believe they exist, but which have nevertheless eluded my searching. And finally, some of them are classified as UNKNOWN; I have no idea whether they exist or not.

If you've enjoyed this site, and happen to have any information about these movies (their existence, where copies may be purchased or found, etc.) please feel free to email me with this information; you will have my deepest gratitude.

Now, the list...
