Overview:
Pornography might be a relatively new form of entertainment but it still has its classics, those films that inspired the next generations of producers and directors, movies that once filled cinema seats with all kinds of asses looking for a new viewing experience. Movies like Behind the Green Door, Debbie Does Dallas, New Wave Hookers, Caligula, and Liebe von Madchen made waves when first released on the sexually frustrated and shielded viewing public. Now made available once again by The Classic Porn, this wealth of vintage hardcore can now be streamed or downloaded for convenient viewer. Across its huge archive, The Classic Porn, in both its hetero and homosexual versions, caters to fans of 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s adult cinema as well as viewers out for a different hardcore trip. Paying for access to this heavenly archive of period smut will leave you $34.95-a-month, but can such a site possibly satisfy today's demanding porno viewer. There's no Virtual Reality here at The Classic Porn, nor is there a single true POV flick or High Definition video, but with some of the most carnally explosive footage of all time laying here in plain sight, this is one golden-age site that doesn't and shouldn't bother with such fads, not when there's steamy sex to be had in more traditional styles.

Pros:
Golden age titles like Lust at First Bite, Diamond Baby, Manbait, Sex Akademie, Nightshift Nurses, and Alice in Wonderland sit among the many thousands of titles held at The Classic Porn. All the basic information is provided, giving you context and links to other films, stars, studios, and a great variety of content can be found here. From John Holmes classics to Greek amateurs fucking in the woods, The Classic Porn has almost everything!

Classic stars line the pages of The Classic Porn and, when selected by you, display their bio details, a small gallery of photos, and a full filmography. Among the listed films, you'll find many titles highlighted, indicating they can be found here, pointing you to the best work of legends like Nina Hartley, Christy Canyon, Kay Parker, Vanessa Del Rio, Tom Byron, Christy Canyon, John Holmes, Seka among many others.

The Classic Porn's large video archive isn't the most consistent in quality, but it does generally bring you 480p or 480i streaming and downloadable videos for each of the six-to-sixteen movies arriving here most days of the week. With both hetero and homosexual branches to its collection, The Classic Porn has something for every retro-leaning viewer and is now discounted to only $19.95-a-month.

Cons:
Video streams play the full-length feature movie, not a single chosen scene. This reassures us that the videos are uncut, but it does make it very difficult to quickly find, say, a Kay Parker deepthroat BJ in a movie that you know has Kay Parker in it somewhere or other. Scene-by-scene descriptions, tagging, and playback would be a great addition to The Classic Porn.

Much of the footage held at The Classic Porn fails to deliver strong images. Shot back in the days of Super8 and 16mm film then Betamax and VHS, the source formats are partly to blame for the low image quality. It's also clear, though, that no remastering, digital cleanup, or post-production polishing has been applied.

Quite obviously, not much can be considered exclusive at The Classic Porn. After all, this is an archive pulled from many countries, studios, license holders, distributors, and hyper-aggressive copyright defenders and there's many other vintage porn sites in operation. Some licensing issues are clearly at play, too, with some features tied very closely to well known foreign movie companies.

Photo galleries are only available for individual models, not films or titles, and present a selection of shots from their career at 900px resolutions. These galleries are okay for die-hard fans who want a few more reminders of why their favorite was the greatest but they'll leave most other photo fans hanging.

Conclusion:
The Classic Porn doesn't hold many surprises once you grasp its driving concept: delivering to viewers a huge range of international pornography from years past. Movies can be found quite easily and performers are given profile pages, photo galleries, and full filmographies. Viewing is also a breeze, though it's hardly hitting HD levels of clarity. A variety of video sources means some movies look remarkably lush, transferred from clean 35mm prints held in controlled archive environments while others look like they were edited by gloveless hands on a mechanics workbench after-hours. Variety, they say, is the spice of life, which would make a membership to The Classic Porn the ghost pepper of the vintage porn circuit. Of course, few of these movies cannot be found elsewhere officially or through back channels, leaving The Classic Porn few honest claims of exclusivity. Really, though, in the world of vintage porn, that's pretty much a non-issue when you have Christy Canyon's legendary bosom heaving in front of you. And heaving bosoms of world-class stars is something The Classic Porn has plenty of.
