The Best of COLT 1-4 features 21 scenes of old school COLT full length pre-condom sex scenes. With two installments per disc, each DVD runs almost four hours. Looking at these restored 8mm scenes is both a titillating — and as funny as it may seem — educating journey.
    Most of these scenes came out in the 1970s. At that time I wasn't even an itch in my daddy's zipper, so watching these makes me realize how far gay erotica and porn have come in such a short time. Watching these remastered goodies made reminded me of Hollywood's silent films where there's a soundtrack, as porn-clichéd as it is now, and the models' lips move, but the audience only hears the disco-tinged soundtrack. Luckily, viewers won't need help to decipher what's being, said since it's pretty evident.
    Even though the equipment then wasn't as advanced as today's, what with HD everything and all, the cinematography is actually pretty good. In scenes like "The Big Box" with Julio Campas and Lars Lundig and "Timberwolves I and II" with Al Parker and Mike Davis, the sky, the pool and the colors are very vibrant and outstanding for that time.
    These scenes also show that no matter what decade you're in, and no matter how much gloss, glitz, muscle or inches the models have, those models have always got to have that mutual attraction to make it hot. In these 10-15 minute scenes, which feature solos, one-on-ones and group action, guys like Parker and Davis, or Rocco Rizzoli and Nick Rogers in "Coming to an End" or even Franco Arbruzzi in "Water Pump", have that certain "It" that made their scenes so hot, they're still celebrated and remembered years later with shrines and remastered releases like these.
    Not every scene here is a masterpiece, but even though there aren't a lot of penetration shots, some missing cumshots, or a lot of anal for that matter, the guys still give it all they've got, and usually create a stunning scene.
    COLT has always done its best to bring forth some of the most spectacular men as well as some of the most stunning erotica through print and video. With the raw sexual energy of the Best of COLT, the proof is in the pudding. It shows a timeless display of rugged, masculine and explosive men having sex so authentic and hot that years later it is still freakin' hot enough to make anyone cum multiple times.
    The DVDs have slideshows, galleries, trailers. The Best of COLT 5-6 and The Best of COLT 7-8 are also available.
