[Videos] Reel Classics

Do you like looking at boobies? Then you’re in luck! Reel Classics is a nearly-three-hour extravaganza of vintage breasts, showcasing large and lovely mammaries from an earlier era. Understand, this isn’t a documentary about breast fixation throughout cinematic history. There is no voiceover, no historian of sexuality explaining the context or provenance of what we’re seeing on the screen, just scene after scene (after scene after scene after scene after scene . . .) of big bare breasts through the ages, in glorious grainy black and white. There’s an occasional bit of butt on display, too, but no sex — tellingly, this flick is rated R, so it’s not even remotely hardcore. It’s pure old-school cheesecake erotica, and it’s a breath of fresh air after the usual double-anal gonzo ganbang fetish fare I’m accustomed to reviewing.

There’s a charming innocence and naivete to the scenes, like the opener, with Linda West in a tiara and black gloves and a diamond necklace, shaking her ample assets around and posing in various positions. There are sequined pasties, naked ladies sitting on hay bales, gloriously gratuitous shower scenes, lots of garter belts, funny hairstyles, topless dancing, boobs resting on tables, bare-breasted ladies reading paperback novels, leopardskin blankets, and lots and lots of deep breaths. Everything but jumping on trampolines! I’m not sure of the date range presented here — there’s very little in the way of informational material — but I’m guessing a lot of it is from the ’50s and ’60s. It’s nice to see big natural breasts, and the actual curves of belly and ass that tend to go along with such, but this is a highly monomaniacal video. It is utterly and completely meant for tit men.

Granted, by watching this you’re ogling the breasts of women who are long dead (or at least very old), but here, they’re young and sexy forever in all their cinematic glory. You can enjoy the film as a historical curiosity or as a festival of titty-tastic goodness from a simpler era — either way, Big Top has done the world of smut a service by preserving these lovely fragments of a busty (but by no means dusty!) bygone times.
