I'll have to give that one a think myself, actually!

TV shows also - everything ever shot on film/video since 1886!

If you didn’t mean to exclude them, I’d be picking up ten ‘lost’ silents, beginning with A Daughter Of The Gods , at least one “Great” Theda Bara film, & several that I’m not sure of the status, something besides Haxan from Benjamin Christensen & an early Asta Nielsen.

If you mean stuff that could conceivably hit the shelves…

The Complete Harold Lloyd (oh Yes, hell just froze over-The Lloyd Trust made a deal)
Duck Soup
White Heat
King Kong
Power And The Glory
Brighton Rock
Hotel Terminus
Harlan County USA
Eyes On The Prize
Hollywood

Although this would still mean I couldn't prove there was a lady named Garbo who made films...

As others have pointed out, it depends what you mean by every film 'ever made'.

Using a very broad definition:

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (5+ hour original roadshow version)

Double Indemnity (with gas chamber ending)

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (with restored gas station scenes from The Killers)

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (the restored version that's hopefully coming to dvd someday soon)

The Sting (OAR)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (uncut)

National Lampoon's Vacation (with cut camel scenes restored)

Suspicion (with Hitchcock's original ending - not sure if this was ever actually filmed)

The Godfather films (with cut scenes back in, including never before seen Michael's shotgun revenge scene)

WKRP in Cincinnati (with all original music)


From a more traditional meaning of just unreleased movies period:

Star Wars films

The African Queen

Top Hat

To Be or Not to Be (1942)

Out of the Past

The Long, Long Trailer

Ninotchka

Up in Arms

Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House

Silver Streak



"Movies should be like amusement parks. People should go to them to have fun." - Billy Wilder

"Subtitles good. Hollywood bad." - Tarzan, Sight & Sound 2012 voter.

"My films are not slices of life, they are pieces of cake." - Alfred Hitchcock

"My great humility is just one of the many reasons that I am vastly superior to everyone else." - Ramrod Clerk

-Homicide: Life on the Street (all the seasons not already released)
-Rocko's Modern Life (funniest cartoon ever, and by far the most underrated)
-Star Wars Original Trilogy
-Indy Jones Trilogy (blind purchase)

Um...that's really all I can think of right now, as I didn't really become a big film fan until we got a DVD player, so almost all of the worthwhile movies I've seen are on DVD already.




\"Old theatres are irreplaceable. They could never be duplicated at today\'s costs - but more importantly, their spirit could not be duplicated because they remind us of a day when going to the show was a more glorious and escapist experience. I think a town\'s old theatres are the sanctuary of its dreams.\"-Roger Ebert
The Senator Theatre
