This is a list of just under 7,200 feature silent films noted to be lost in the Library of Congress film database.

Each entry in the list contains the following information in this order:

  • the title of the film (with a hyperlink to the Library of Congress database record)
  • the year the film was released
  • the director of the film
  • occasionally, a short note about the film's preservation

Film titles beginning with "The", "A", or "An" have those words at the end, for example: "Big Drive, The".
