First of all, I have to say that I am not a hugh fan of Private Studio and only watched just a few of their movies. However, I have fondness of a good stuff called Fatal Orchid 1 and 2
Other titles you may like include the second installment of Dangerous Things, Fashion, Italian Flair, and recently released The Last Muse and soon to be released Sex Opera. Of Pierre Woodmands movies I particularly enjoyed The Collector. Trust me on these...you'll love em!
The two Cumshot Deluxes are excellent in that they give a good overview of the Private starlets and so you may find one there you will want to find more of their movies. I would also recommend the Tania Russof story, she is quite hot and it shows a lot of her great scenes from the Pyramid series. I also enjoyed several dvds with Laure Sainclair, Katia Kean, recently Lea de Mae in the Bride Wore Black. Anything with Sylvia Saint is worth checking out. Private does excellent work also try the two Private dvd sampler discs, they give previews of various Private releases some previews longer than others. Good luck.
Millenium is a great place to start. I've really been enjoying Private's Pirate line. It's great fetish stuff. The first Summer Wind was also really good and has Tricia Devereaux, which is always a plus.
I'm one of the few people who doesn't care much for what I've seen from Pierre Woodman. The sex is very good, but I think the movie lacks due to the dubbing. I like to hear the conversations in plot based porn (which a lot of Woodman's stuff is) and instead of translating the entire movie, a narrator gives little summations every now and then. There aren't even English subtitles so I could read them. Every now and then I give him another chance (since I want to see the rest of The Pyramid and some of his other stuff I've heard so much about) but overall, I avoid him.
- Good lesbians and stylish: Amanda's Diary 4 & 5, Private Penthouse series (Call Girl, Fashion, Dangerous Things 1 & 2, Italian Flair, The Last Muse,...). Also a great lesbian scene in "Sex Slider Shag-a-rama".
- Joey and all of you who like Monique Covet: Stay tuned for the appearence of Monique's Private anthology... Private Life of Monique Covet... In a very special DVD edition.
I just recently watched The Academy and agree that it is good. It was nice to see Lea de Mae lick some pussy, don't get this for Sylvia Saint because she is only in the first scene and in the final orgy in bits and pieces but the overall movie is good with some nice anal and some decent facials.
I would like to know what Monica Sweethearts best Private titles are if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

I'm new on this forum, so I don't know if you really works for Private, but just in case you do... there are plans for releasing the Triple X series on DVD?
The real question with Private films is which ones don't have the simulated sound during the sex scenes. I've gone from being an absolute Private lover, to someone with a mild interest in anything produced by the company.
It's a real shame that they practice this because the sex can be incredibly hot.
Private has continued to impress me over and over again.
The sex is hot, the ladies incredible, and the cum-shots are usually enourmous and stylistic. Wonderful stuff.
"Xtreme Desires" is a .. unique.. DVD. It is definately fetish with lots of leather, latex and bondage and more (I won't ruin the little surprise in the scene called "toilette")..
For more mainstay tastes I thought "Sex Shots" was fantastic playing Cassandra Wilde (A gorgeous Euro-Blonde) against the dark and sexy Laura Angel as they compete for the attention and dominance of a man (lucky bugger!)
The complete Triple X Series won't be put on DVD, mainly because of quality reasons. The masters are really old and there is many scenes shot in poor technical conditions (for our actual standards).
By the way, we will release a some new compilations of the best scenes of the Triple X, Private Stories and Private Video Magazine under the name of "Private Lust Treasures". This will be a series filled with never-before-released-on-DVD scenes catching the best of those old video series.
Wait for the first "Private Lust Treasures" DVD to be released on September 2001 (one month later in the USA).
For all those who don't like dubbed Private movies, here's a list of Private titles I own that feature performers using their real voices and are not dubbed:
Call Girl (Private/Penthouse) Fashion (Private/Penthouse) Dangerous Things 1 & 2 (Private/Penthouse) Italian Flair (Private/Penthouse) The Last Muse (Private/Penthouse) Apocalypse Climax 1 & 2 Forbidden Desires Gaia: The Temptations of Clarisse (directed by Christoph Clark and featuring Wicked Pictures' Jonathan Morgan)
Way too much slow motion and black and white. Slow motion can totally kill the heat of a scene and Private is becoming famous for showing almost an entire scene in slow motion(i.e the Penthouse titles).
Dubbed sound. Dubbing during a sex scene is a serious no-no to me, if it's a classic porno it's expected because that's how things were done at the time, but in this day and age there's no excuse for it. And all these people that claim that the new Private/Penthouse titles have direct sound are only partly right. There is direct sound during the dialogue, but when the sex scenes start in the Penthouse titles it's about 75% in slow motion and the rest in real time, and you know that when you show slo-mo, the sound you hear is dubbed, the only time you get real live audio is when they are not showing slo-mo (only 25% of the time, i.e.Fashion, The Muse). These movies are the most annoying porn I have ever seen. The women are beautiful but they have to cool it with the slow mo. It's idiotic. Plus the sex scenes are only about 7-10 minutes long, when you condsider the fact that 75% of it is in slow motion you are left thinking at the end of a scene, is that it? There must be some other titles that have direct sound that are directed by someone other than the guy who's doing the Penthouse titles for them. The artsy crap is irritating. I want to see those beutiful girls getting fucking hard in real time with real sound, is that too much to ask? For now I'm sticking with Diabolic/Anabolic and Evil Angel for my Euro porn fix.
Yeah, I hate Private too. They really seem to think that they're providing us with classy entertainment, but in the most predictable of worlds (porn if you haven't understood that on your own jackasses) Private is the most predictable. Just watch a Private scene for five seconds and you know exactly what's going to happen. Private sucks more than a DVD with fortyish drug whores made by frogs. Well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but why not...
Private has a lot of good titles but they aren't all "5" like so many claim. MB and Whiplash make valid points. I've had the chance to review a number of Private titles (got a good price) and many have been good, hardcore, fun. For the price they usually cost though-they really vary as to value.
That said, many of the female performers are very attractive and not afraid of condom free sex or facials (I'm not a facial fan and I don't care about condoms but a lot of people do). The dubbed narration (instead of translation) on many of their movies blows goat spew but overall, they have better production values than many of the domestic companies...
I believe Forbidden Desires, and possibly other early Private titles by Steve Perry (Ben Dover).
However, the Odyssey 2001 compilation that I have features scenes from Call Girl, Fashion, and Dangerous Things from this list.
Especially the scene from Fashion (Kate More and Sophie Evans by a pool with Franco Roccaforte) is very obviously dubbed. Actually, it sounds very funny if you appreciate that kind of humor. (Anyone seen the movie Jesus of Montreal?) The scene looks great, though. I believe the other scenes are dubbed as well.

You are free to dislike Private, but you may miss a lot because I believe you generalize based on the few movies you have seen (apparently mostly from the Private/Penthouse series). Some Private movies are not dubbed, some Private movies have very hardcore, Gonzo style, sex, some Private movies have very unusual and imaginative sex. The Private DVD catalogue is huge so please let's not oversimplify!
I own about 50 adult DVDs, over 60% are from Private and I was rarely disapointed, for my money they are the best value on the market (I live in Europe).

Max Hardcore directed a coupla Private flix. And they are not only not-dubbed, but they're really funny comedies too. Yes, you heard it right: ole Max did comedy movies!
JOEY STAR - Are most of those titles you have on VHS?
Personally I am very dissappointed with Private DVD releases. They are highly overpriced and equally over rated. I've found the scenes to be too "hollywood" and the language barrier to be too hard to follow in a movie. The overdubbing just comes across as really fake. As far as their DVD's I find it hard to promote them as a good product. Obviously there are more released on VHS so they must be better overall.
Houston Don already pointed out their production value, it is VERY high. Too high if you ask me. Some of the camera's even use softening filters. The hollywood effect stated above.
I've mentioned some things I like about Private in another thread so I won't repeat myself here. I will say that people that don't like Private titles in general (and there are a lot of lines that cover all sorts of tastes) just what are you watching??? I agree the dubbing really hurts most of there movies. But in many causes the sex is hot enough that you can overlook it. To be honest I wasn't very big on Private before DVD. I own several Private VHS tapes and have rented numerous others in the past and the dubbing was usually a turn off. But I'd rather watch a dubbed movie by Private than anything put out by Vivid or any of those 'glamour' studios. Personally, I recommend the Private Penthouse line and the Pirate Video Deluxe Line (Tanya Hyde's stuff especially). Their other lines I usually go by the women in them...I've had good luck with the Black Label line too and I've heard good things about the Virtualia (sp?) line, but am waiting (somewhat patiently) for my favorite online store to stock them...

I haven't watched a ton of Private, but I like most of what I've seen so far. African Dream is a gorgeous movie - the Indian woman in the first scene is one of the prettiest women I've ever seen in porn.
Sure, I've run across one or two that I fast-forwarded through, but the women and locations are hard to beat. Yeah, Private DVDs are around $24, but so were Vivid Wave DVDs a year ago.
