Yesterday I had all my pics and Events on iPhoto ( including .mov file videos I took with my iphone).
Sudenly this morning I go to iphoto and everything is gone ???
So what I did was opening iphoto again and import an iPhoto file I had on the Pictures Folder in Finder . I recovered many of my missing pics but I'm still missing others ? Any advice ?
As for the .mov file videos they are completely gone?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 (11) give the following a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

If you imported an iPhoto library into a new iPhoto library you have a mess - that does not work and creates massive duplication , loses versions and edits, metadata updates and includes face thumbnails as photos
You need to fix your old iphoto library as Old Toad described or start over importing the originals from the Masters folder
Never import one iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
