[FULLY LOST] 1999 indie movie "Films That Suck" starring Read Ridley & Andy Morris

Films That Suck (1999) was a mockumentary-style indie movie with a very widely unknown cast and a small cult following. It follows Andy Morris (playing himself - and I should mention here that all the evidence I’ve seen on various sites points to him being the same Andy Morris who voiced Cicero in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) as a reporter sent to Nashville, Tennessee to profile filmmaker Read Ridley (also playing himself) before the mainstream media can get to him first. The tagline was “The Movie Sundance Doesn’t Want You To See”. There is an IMDB page (linked here) where the synopsis is widely available, as well as a Plex page (here) where you can also find the same synopsis worded differently. This movie has no poster/cover art, no screenshots, and no clips, and the full film is nearly completely lost. I say nearly only because I still have hope that it exists on an old CD-ROM somewhere, or possibly on an old torrent website (though I do not encourage piracy and would like the search to remain legal).

Search results may indicate that a copy is available to watch on Plex, but as of making this post there is no page on Plex that allows viewing this movie, just metadata that says it exists.

I have been very thorough in searching indie/cult movie sites that specialize in cataloguing movies from the late 90s, and each time I have come up empty. The movie synopsis does come up with a Google search (examples that work: Films That Suck movie 1999, Read Ridley movie Films That Suck), but the movie itself remains missing.

To be especially thorough and give anyone willing to help search a headstart, here are more sources I’ve gathered:
This Reddit post made four years ago by u/Jimp_lord in which he talks about also trying to find this movie, as well as the link to the now-defunct previous distributor of Films That Suck, SightSound Technologies, which the user links to in his post. SightSound used to have Films That Suck available on a pay-per-download basis in the 2000s, though the page has been a blank slate since the company's closure. Here is the movie’s TMDB page, made in 2017, though still with no trailer, no list of where to watch, and no cover art.

At this point, the most promising lead would be if someone has an old SightSound download of the movie, CD-ROM backup, or archived file from the late 90s/early 2000s. Since the movie *was* seemingly distributed digitally, there’s a good chance copies once existed/still exist outside physical media. Any and all leads or extra details found will be greatly appreciated.

The Wikipedia page says the budget was less than $200000 dollars to make.

Could anyone's hoard contain rare Monkees?

I have been a long-time fan of The Monkees - both the music and the television show. People in the film and video collecting circles might not realize there are actually rare and possibly lost versions of some episodes from the show because the studio actually changed the music. I made a video a few years back about this:

https://youtu.be/a3ObzKwZNbY?si=S5peRNA9UBphmMW0

I'm going around hoping word could get to people who have video or audio recordings that can fill in the gaps on these rare programs (originally broadcast from 1969-1972, but sometimes used for syndication in later years).

Those who have 16mm and 35mm collections occasionally have these rare versions. I have paid to have a handful of them scanned for preservation.

The alternate shows have also been known to air outside the US, particularly in the UK and Japan, but other international airings could be possible as well. I'm always interested to find recordings of the TV series from around the world, I haven't come across many.

In the most interesting cases, people actually recorded the audio of these programs on audio cassettes in the early 1970s. These have provided evidence of at least four episodes that haven't turned up (publicly) on film or video tape.

If you think people in your collecting circles have some of these materials, I'd be interested to hear from them.

Looking for Romanian dubbed iCarly episodes

Hi!
I’m looking for the Romanian dubbed version of iCarly.

Does anyone here have recordings, DVDs, archived episodes, or even clips from Nickelodeon Romania broadcasts?

I’m especially interested in preserving the Romanian dub because it seems very hard to find online now.

Even partial episodes, commercials, or old recordings would help. Thanks!

[unreleased media] old reel with unnamed silent movie

On a local marketplace type of site, I spotted an adverteisement of some hand cranked film equipment, 35mm format. It was clearly from the silent era.

On a rewind unit there was still a reel of film, a bit shrunk but not too deteriorated. A picture of one frame of the film was attached (luckily comparatively visible).

This 'screenshot' shows a man with a specific checkered suit. No soundtrack on the edges but that fits the rest of the stuff in the advertisement.

Sadly I've got no other information than this one picture. Still (no pun intended), all ideas are welcome what this might be.

Note. Physically this exists, because we have photos. But until we know what it is and have it available, it must count as lost according to the rules as I understand them.

Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Hi, well, the movie I'm looking for is a horror movie. It's about a young woman, the protagonist, whose birthday it is. Her friends go to her workplace, a hospital, to celebrate. The thing is, her friends go downstairs, to the area where the sick or dead patients are. One of the protagonist's friends climbs on top of a corpse and starts doing intimate things, still clothed. Then the corpse gets up and starts killing the friend and her friends, and then continues killing the friends who stayed on top. I don't remember much else, but I do remember scenes like the one where the protagonist is running and finds her friend, who ends up being cut in half by a saw. He then keeps running. Another scene I remember is where the protagonist and another friend start running from the corpse, which is resistant to many things. The point is, they inject it with some blue liquid, which seems to take effect and I think ends the protagonist's life. But her friend escapes through a small window in a room. He went to his car and drove home, and when he realized he was in the passenger seat and the one driving was the corpse (the killer), he was going to kill him. But he realized it when he got out to check something in the parking lot before leaving the hospital. Well, that's what I remember. If I remember anything else, I'll let you know. In the meantime, please, I'm asking for your help.

I already tried chat gpt and many apps of moviess.

Lost 2011 CGI Kid's movie from South Korea aired in Southeast Asia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfFJS0Mufmg

I made a video about it. But essentially there was a movie about Goblins from South Korea that was aired in Southeast Asia in 2011.

Since that year, I've been looking for it and even emailed LSSQ about the movie.

Too lazy to write the plot as I described it in my video but I have links and details from my personal search.

The movie's Korean name is 우당탕탕 도깨비 대소동 and it was directed by a guy named Bek-Choi who had a personal website called Image Toaster. His channel's gone and he directed another CGI movie in 2003 I think called Mateo.

The lost Halloween fan films called “Happy Halloween”(1989) [fully lost]

If you go on IMDb and look up Happy Halloween you will find Happy Halloween 666 at the bottom of the search page which is the 6th part to a short film series that seems like it is a parody or recreation of the Halloween movies but from what I know I can’t find them on the internet at all only that they have 6 movies listed and a 7th in production which I’m guessing will never come out but the main actor and writer on a few of the movies is Bryan Fortin (he also directed and acted in a Friday the 13th recreation called Jason’s curse which I can’t find either) he acted in every happy Halloween movie and wrote on some of them to I’m hoping y’all can help find this
