Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide - "...movies can vanish from the market place very quickly; even the biggest distributors can't send you a movie that's ...out-of-print..."

Video Movie Guide
by Mick Martin & Marsha Porter
"As with books, movies go 'out-of-print'... Disney titles are released for a brief time and then placed on moratorium, which means you... cannot buy them... Other titles that were available at one time exist in some kind of never-never land, as rights have been transferred... Still others were pulled by their respective distributors and are not available... We regret any inconvenience a reader might have in attempting to buy a particular title listed in this book. However, as much as we would like to help, we do not have the time or resources to find movies for readers who want to buy them."

Halliwell's Film Guide - "Video releases come and go with great rapidity... the vast majority of them... (are) now... unobtainable."

The Film Foundation - Beverly Hills - "Film directors, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood, George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick, Sydney Pollack, Robert Redford and Steven Speilberg announced the formation of The Film Foundation, dedicated to ensuring the survival of American film heritage. Serving as Secretariat to the Foundation will be the National Center for Film and Video Preservation at the American Film Institute... Fifty percent of all the films ever made in the United States before 1950 have already been lost, and much more remains endangered."

Motion Picture Conservation at
the Library of Congress by David Francis, Chief - "... until 1951, when acetate, or safety, film replaced it, the film base chosen by the industry was made of cellulose nitrate, an extremely flammable substance that... undergoes continuous chemical decomposition... Only about 10 percent of the movies produced before 1929 still exist."

Martin Scorsese, Filmmaker and member of the National Film Preservation Foundation (NFPF) Board of Directors - "Film is history, With every foot of film that is lost, we lose a link to our culture, to the world around use, to each other and to ourselves. Fewer than 20% of U.S. feature films from the 1920's survive in complete form; of the American features produces before 1950 only half survive... We're still racing against the clock to save what we can."
