11. London After Midnight (1927). The influence of this Tod Browning-Lon Chaney collaboration is strictly posthumous: considered by many as the holy grail of lost films, London After Midnight symbolizes the fragility of a medium where works that were once widely seen have seemingly disappeared without a trace. And while many once-lost films have been relocated and painstakingly restored, a painfully high level of films remain missing and are believed to be lost forever.
