“The Devil in a Convent” (1899) was considered lost until it was discovered by Cinémathèque Basque in 2010. It was part of a set of films originally found in a garbage bin by the donor in the mid90s.

Supposedly, “Won in a Cupboard” (1914) is a send up of D.W. Griffith’s short crime thriller “An Unseen Enemy” (1912), which was the first film to star The Gish Sisters.

Buster Keaton directed the famous scene of the engine crashing into the river. It was shot in one take with six cameras as well as a crowd of spectators. It’s considered to be the most expensive 14secs of #SilentFilm ever shot.

No problem! I don’t watch sports so I was a little worried that the game would run long (of course, not worried enough to even give the game a cursory glance for scheduling reasons🙃)

Having come across several old films that have “Ghost Breaker” in their title I did some digging into that phrase means and apparently it’s just an old timey term for paranormal investigators

Despite “The Cameraman” (1928) being used for years by MGM as an example of the perfect comedy the film was almost lost forever b/c the ONLY COPY was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire.
