Review of Pornstar Classics
Date: Oct 20, 2007
Score: Full 5/5
Niche: Classic porn
Main Draw: Pornstar Classics is the most complete, most user friendly classic porn site I have ever encountered. This collection has a ton of my old favorites, and it's growing every day.
Design/Navigation: See the tour? That's pretty much the majority of the site, minus a few of the members only features. It does give you a good idea as to how it's set up - very user friendly and clear with many ways to find exactly what you are looking for at Pornstar Classics. You can use a search box to find exactly what you are looking for, or follow movie links, classic pornstar name links, or go via studios.
Pictures: This site doesn't have much to do with photos, so there's only around 12 picture sets with some information about the classic pornstars they feature. The pictures aren't bad, at 600x800, but again, it's the movies that really capture my interest here.
Movies: Here we go - the meat of this classic porn site. There is a good reason why Pornstar Classics has risen above all other classic porn sites I have reviewed or seen - it's just that damn good.
The company behind it, Smash Pictures, really knows their classic stuff and loves it. This comes through in every aspect of the site, from the style of the design to the careful remastering of all of the videos on it. Currently, there are 200 movies and 1,186 scenes featuring every pornstar you know and love from the good old days.
You can watch the movies in three different qualities - 176x144, 320x240, and 480x352. The top quality is higher than you typically see on classic pornsites, so it's a welcome part of this great site.
Movies are over 70 minutes long each, so you can begin to imagine just how many hours of classic porn are at your fingertips here. You can stream or download the videos, along with making your own clips. This is a cool feature that lets you piece together parts from different movies to make your own movie, so if you want all of the scenes featuring Ginger Lynn in one file, you can put them all together and download the custom clip.
I know I really appreciated that feature, as it made it easier for me to add things to my personal porn collection. Just as you can view clips in low, medium, or high quality, you can also make your custom clips in those sizes.
Extras: When I had a review pass, they were offering a free Christy Canyon book for members that stuck around for three months or longer (not sure if they're still offering that now, to be honest)
Speed The speed was fine for me in both browsing and downloading.
Originality You might have seen some of these classic porn movies before, but never in such a user friendly collection with lots of features to make your classic porn experience top notch.
Updates PornstarClassics gets updated every 2 days like clockwork!
Annoyances There were only two things that bugged me - the first was that you had to download movies scene by scene, although that's not a big deal if you end up using the custom clip making as much as I did. The other is that I wish there was a niche search, so I could find classic anal or classic interracial or whatever I was looking for. Those are really nitpicky points, though, and it doesn't detract much from the Pornstar Classics experience.
Is It Worth it? I dare you to find a better classic pornstar site. Really, I triple dog dare you! You aren't going to find it, especially not as the steal of a price you can get access to this collection with. This is a Vintagepornreview favorite!
