If you love the movies, and if you have no bias against silent films...

This is the story of 75 "Lost" films being returned for restoration in the U.S. Films gone missing by John Ford, Al Christie (a really influential comedy figure of the silent era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Christie) and Lois Weber (the single most important female film maker ever. At the time she was spoken of in the same breath as D.W. Griffith & Cecil B. DeMille.
