That’s odd- the first film mentioned by this article (Ben-Hur from 1925), which it describes as completely lost, is not lost, at least according to its wikipedia article. Apparently it was (at least) partly considered lost until being found again in the 80’s. Not sure whether to trust TFA on any other claims now.

The article doesn't say that Ben-Hur was lost. It says that another movie, The Devil Dancer, by the same director was lost.
