I haven’t hosted a giveaway in ages but Kino Lorber was kind enough to provide some quality silent films on disc. I have quite a few to hand out, so I have split the giveaway into multiple parts. More chances to win is always a good thing, right?
Here are the discs in this round:
The Epic of Everest: real footage of the tragic Mallory attempt to summit the peak.
Sherlock Holmes: The John Barrymore version featuring a very early appearance by William Powell!
Peter Pan: The beloved classic with authorial approval and stunning visuals and an exciting cast.
Here’s how you enter:
- Leave a comment saying why you want to win these movies. Please state the titles you want or just say you want them all.
- I will draw randomly for each disc on November 19, 2022 and contact you if you have won.
- If the winner does not claim their prize in one week, I will draw a runner-up.
This drawing is open for U.S. addresses only. Void where prohibited. All discs will ship via USPS.
I think that’s everything! Thank you, Kino Lorber, for sponsoring the fun!

Movies Silently 
I’ve always been interested in Sherlock Holmes movie adaptation and have wanted to see the 1920 adaptation. I already own the excellent release of Peter Pan.
Thanks for entering!
I have not seen any of these films so I would be ecstatic to win any of them. Sherlock Holmes is my most desired of the three, but I would be thrilled to win any of them!
I would love to win any or all of these discs — due to my fandom for Barrymore, Anna May Wong, and… deadly mountains? Thanks!
I would absolutely love the Everest disc but any of them would be amazing! Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I would love to win Peter Pan or Sherlock Holmes! I haven’t seen either of these adaptations yet — Peter Pan in particular is a formative story for me, but I’m also a big William Powell fan 🙂
Thanks for offering these. I would love to own a copy of Sherlock Holmes I like John Barrymore quite a bit and I’ve never seen this version of Sherlock Holmes.
I’d love any of these, but I am Holmes nerd and that one be especially awesome to watch!
Hello, I only recently started getting into silent film when I saw The Witch by Georges Méliès. I was genuinely blown away, and obviously giveaways are a bit shameless as an entrant but I would love Peter Pan as you describe the visuals as stunning and that has been my favorite part of watching silent films so far. I would also be interested in the Epic of Everest, if Peter Pan is taken. Thank you, and I love your work! I genuinely would not be as excited about silent film without your talking about it so positively. -Caroline
Thanks for offering this. I would very much like a copy of Sherlock Holmes if it’s still available I’ve never seen this version and I like John Barrymore quite a bit so I’m sure I would like this.
Forgive me if there are duplicates I’m having trouble posting this.
No worries, I always check for duplicates before I do the drawing. Thanks for entering!
The Sherlock would be first on my list, but any would be AWESOME!
The Sherlock would be first among equals, I’d say!
Peter Pan is my first choice, but Epic of Everest would be grand, too!
Peter Pan looks amazing- fantasy of the era is so delightful (Faust knocks my eyes out). Been hearing about this version for a long time but haven’t ever seen it. Very curious about Holmes too!
Ooh! Any or all would be awesome, but I am very drawn to the Everest film. That entire expedition fascinates me.
The only title of these I have not seen is the John Barrymore. I have long admired his acting and I’ve loved Sherlock Holmes since I was a boy.
Would love one (or more) of the silent DVD’s – thanks for the opportunity to win.
I know nothing about silent movies except what I’ve learned following you, and would be grateful for anything to learn more. Thank you so much for all the education you’ve given me so far, and for doing this giveaway.
I would LOVE to have a copy of the Everest disc. I’ve been curious about the Mallory expedition forever!
I’d love to have the Sherlock Holmes disc because I love mystery films but somehow I’ve never seen a single Holmes movie. Seems like a good place to start!
Peter Pan because I’ve seen clips, but never that version in its entirety. Would be beat to show my gf to because she’s a big Peter Pan fan and I don’t think she’s seen that version.
This is great! I very much need EPIC OF EVEREST since I discuss silent exploration films in the Third Edition of my book A NEW HISTORY OF DOCUMENTARY FILM-due out January 26, 2023 from Bloomsbury.
I really like John Barrymore so I’d go with Sherlock Holmes!
I would be interested in all three of these films – Everest, Sherlock Holmes, & Peter Pan. I have been a silent film fan for a few years, but haven’t seen any of these. I love the Sherlock Holmes stories & Peter Pan. The Mallory Everest expedition is so interesting; when Mallory’s body was discovered a few years ago, the team was surprised that Mallory’s group could have made it so far with their wool clothes & rudimentary equipment.
I’m interested in all, but particularly the Everest one. Those early extreme weather documentaries are absolutely fascinating. Came to mind again after listening to the most recent You’re Wrong About episode about the 1972 Uruguayan Air Force crash in the Andes.
i have the Sherlock on VHS and would amazing to have better copy.
I would love to win any of these movies to add to my silent film collection
I’m replying here, because the other wanted me to log in to something I’ve never registered for, and, well, it just felt weird.
So, briefly, ….
I’d love the Everest (1) because I’ve been there (in 1973, up the side of Pumori, directly opposite, arduous as hell, but it afforded an astonishing view of the mountain and its sheer massivity. Went to a black rock outcropping called Kala Patar (means black rock, of course) that is high enough that it reveals the mountain from the summit down below the Lhotse Shar ridge to about a third the way down the Western Cwm. And (2) because when I went to see this film in Pordenone I fell asleep and … slept through it (sad to say, not a rarity as I age and age and age; decrepitude cannot be far distant).
I’d love the Holmes because I have the Gillette, and would love to hear what John and George have to say to each other (mutely, of course, though with grandiloquent gestures galore).
And I’d love the Peter Pan because — how is this possible? — I’ve never seen it !! Or at least that’s what my database says. Well, that and because various women in my life have accused me of never growing up; but mostly because a wonderful child once christened me “Charlie in the Faraway”.
thanks for the generosity of the offer — not to mention the generosity of your time and passion. charlie cockey
I would love to win any or all of these movies. I’ve never seen any of them and would enjoy the opportunity to get to see them & add them to my collection.
Let me see… Sherlock Holmes and Peter Pan fly to Everest to save the lost Mallory boys… I would love to have any part of that triple feature. Thank you for your consideration.
I already have Sherlock Holmes and Peter Pan (both are my favorites). I always wanted to get The Epic of Everest ever since I heard about it. I am hoping to win the Everest disk.

4. Growl growl.
5. I live free things
6. I like movies
I would LOVE to win “Peter Pan” – I had the opportunity to see this with live accompaniment in Rochester, NY years ago and would be ecstatic to add it to my collection! Thank you for the opportunity!
Reposting my comment from Twitter 🙂
Big fan of the Holmes stories since I was a kid, and I loved Barrymore in 20th Century (1934) so I’m most interested in seeing that one.
I’m a film historian though and have started collecting movies on blu-ray so I’d also be interested in winning any of them!
I would like to enter for all three discs. The last couple years I have been giving myself an education on the history of silent cinema, reading whatever I can find, watching whatever I can find, at my own pace. Your site and recommendations have fueled my passion immensely. I have not seen any of these three films but would love to see a documentary feature from the silent era, a John Barrymore film, and a silent Peter Pan.
My other comment might have been deleted…Anyway, yes I’d be interested in any of these three films. I have not seen any of them, and over the last couple of years silent cinema has become my new passion. I’ve been reading as much as I can and watching as much as I can and learning so much from your blog and enjoying your enthusiasm for silent movies. The Everest one would be really cool as I don’t have many silent documentaries. I don’t have any John Barrymore films and I’ve heard about the silent Peter Pan but never seen it. Would love all three! Thanks.
With winter coming on, what better to watch than The Epic of Everest? (Already own the other two) Thank you 😊
1st choice: Sherlock Holmes … 2nd choice: Peter Pan … 3rd choice: Epic of Everest. Thank you for offering these.
I loved Peter Pan, and a Blu-ray would be nice. I’m also curious about the other two, and they look interesting, so put me down for all three. Thanks!
I’ve only seen Peter Pan. Always looking for new films to check out!
I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for the Epic of Everest and Peter Pan. The former because I love silent documentaries, and the latter because I’ve heard a lot about it but have never seen it. Thanks for all you do!
Yikes, sorry for the multiple posts. Was having severe difficulties logging in.
No worries, I’ve heard this from several people. I am not disqualifying anyone for accidental duplicates, I’ll just cut you down to one comment and you’re entered!
I enjoyed the early 30’s Sherlock Holmes films especially with his greatest rival, Moriarity! The ’22 Barrymore would be my choice to win. He always seemed to have an element of comedy in his acting. Loved his 1930 version of Moby Dick and Svengali 1931. Thanks for considering my bad for the dvd prize. #Jeff Molnar# 📽️
All of these look super interesting, but as a Holmes nerd I would love to have that one! Thanks for all you do!
I’ve never seen any of these silents and would love to add them to my collection.
I haven’t seen any of these movies, but I would be especially thrilled to win the Sherlock Holmes or Peter Pan one!
“Everest” and “Sherlock” both look fascinating. Well, “Peter Pan” is too, but I already have it and it’s wonderful.
While Everest looks fascinating, I’d be pleased to add any of these to my collection.
Id love to see 2 epic profiles!
Barrymore and Everest! 😉
I am not entering this contest, as I won one last time. Hope you winners enjoy them – I have two of these already, so you certainly should!
I would like to win any of these. I am always excited to see a silent film, and am always looking for more to watch. 🙂
I would love either Sherlock Holmes or Peter Pan. I needto watch more silent film.
