Here is a collection of rare silent films.  These films are copied from my personal film collection and are in the public domain. Each DVD has no region coding so they should play world wide.   I have added a royalty free soundtrack to each of them. Please note I am not a professional musician and if you don't like the music I've chosen you are free to turn the sound down and play your own selection.  Also these films are not professionaly restored (which costs an arm and a leg) as I said they have been copied from my personal collection warts and all.  They are however so rare that many exist only in private collecitons or archives like the Library of Congres, the George Eastman House or the UCLA Archives.  Unless you live close enough to one of those archives chances are you will never see many of these films.   It is my hope that other film collectors will begin copying their films and making them available to the public like I am doing.  If you are a collector and would like some tips on how to do this I will be glad to respond to your questions. 

    Here is  Rare Silent Collection #12 with four films.

A Desparate Scoundrel aka Dirty Work In A Laundry (1915) Ford Sterling, Minta Durfee

"A Desperate Scoundrel" begins with Ford being chased from the park when he's caught trying to steal milk from a baby! He then directs his larcenous talents towards a laundry. After stealing a wad of cash, the owner eventually realizes what has happened and the chase is on

Love and Rubbish (1913) Ford Sterling

Be My King (1928) Lupino Lane, Wallace Lane

 Sight gags is what Lupino Lane did. Lupino was absolutely mind-blowing as a rubbery stunt comic. This film is hilarious but it is  unfortunate that the racial material (the cannibals are whites in blackface) is truly embarrassing today.

Ten Of Spades, or a Western Raffle (1910) Jay Barney Sherry, James Young Deer
