I know MST3K did find a bunch of forgotten movies for their show. I mean literally forgotten. "The Dead Talk Back" was in someone's garage and when the person found it they went to comedy central to see if MST3K would be interested in it.

Movies about nuclear war such as "On the Beach", "Panic in the Year Zero", "Dr Strangelove", et al. were on my view list.
