Last night I was searching for a specific movie. I went searching for streaming services like Amazon, Mubi and so on, but there was nowhere to be found! Then I searched for a DVD and again I found nothing. Finally, I went through all the pirate sites that I already knew, and typed “Winter in Sokcho 2024”. I went on searching for about 30 minutes. A movie would come up, but the movie didn’t exist at all.
At that point, I realized that I might be the only person who wanted to watch this movie.
Then I asked myself, how many movies are lost like this? Maybe a copy exists somewhere forgotten, yet nowhere to be found. It was played in cinemas for some time though.
Have you ever come at this point? I will go with the book for now, the only thing that exits.
The Village has been out of print since the DVD days. I also couldn’t find a couple Robin Williams movies that were recommended to me: Jakob the Liar and What Dreams May Come.
What Dreams May Come is an amazing film. $8 and change on Blu Ray. Looks like it’s not on 4K yet.

Jakob the Liar looks like it’s only on a DVD two-pack with Moscow on the Hudson:
