PornstarClassics is exactly the site you need if you’re a big retro porn fan. The site focuses on the biggest pornstars of the 1980s in particular, and features them in many of their most famous photo shoots and their biggest movies.
Featuring names such as Ron Jeremy, John Holmes, Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn amongst others, if you long for the days where pornstars had to strip out of spandex and leg-warmers before they got going, then PornstarClassics might be the site you have been looking for.
PornstarClassics has only around 15 photo galleries at its disposal, but has around 150 videos too. The photos vary in size, but are usually around 600x900 in size.
Videos are available in WMV format for the most part, and they display at 320x240 (750kbps) in their highest quality, but are available in two different speeds. Updates are made weekly on the whole.
PornstarClassics is your proof that some things never change. The titles are still occasionally inspired / awful (depending on how you look at them) – Hanna Does Her Sisters, On Golden Blonde and the particularly brilliant Terms Of Endowment will particularly stand out if you love your 80s mainstream cinema.
And a franchise is never allowed to die – just look at the amount of sequels to Deep Throat that are available here. The inclusion of that infamous title in full will undoubtedly be a draw to many people.
As it turns out, it isn’t that great. Comparatively tame by today’s standards, it’s worth a look for intrigue’s sake, but it’s far from the best thing here. The Ginger Lynn titles though may well be, especially The Pleasure Hunt and its even better sequel.
She was a performer of quite enormous talent who always straddled the fine line between innocent and slutty with no effort at all, and ALWAYS looked incredibly.
The John Holmes titles will also turn some heads, undoubtedly, but his lack of charisma makes you wonder how he lasted for so long in the industry.
What I particularly enjoyed bout the titles here was seeing how much effort they seemingly put into at least trying to make the film look professional. Very few mainstream porn directors bother these days, it seems, but these guys seemed to think they were making films that could trouble the Oscars.
The photo galleries here, by the way, don’t amount to much but the excellent library of movie titles has to be the main draw.
Pornstar Classics membership includes full access to MommyLovesPussy, Smashcom Hardcore, Pornstar Classics, Busty Classics, DoMyMom, CandyFilms
PornstarClassics has a reasonable navigation that works fine but could do with a couple of additions. A list of the stars featured on their own would be a nice feature, for a start.
The photos are reasonably sized though and in good condition despite their age. The download speeds are not too bad though although the video and photo quality can occasionally be a bit dodgy as some of the shoots are understandably quite old.
PornstarClassics is a must site for retro porn fans and indeed for fans of retro cinema full stop. With an army of the biggest talents from that time and a very impressive (and growing) library of titles, this will only get better.
PornstarClassics shouldn’t just be regarded patronisingly as a retro curio though for us to point at and go, “Aww, look at how they used to do it back then, how sweet!” Most of these girls and boys could out-perform pretty much all of the biggest names around now.
