4. Courtesy of all over my friendlists: the rediscovery in a Chilean warehouse of John Ford's The Scarlet Drop (1918), thought lost since its initial release. Just its survival is neat to know.

In the trailer at the link, at the very end, are those flashes gunshot f/x physically scratched into the film? I had no idea that was a thing, and it could just be damage or some processing feature, but that's definitely what it looks like!
