Is it just me, or does it always seem like best of complitations never really include all of the stars best work. The best compliation disc I have seen is the "Private life of" series. They are unusually good becuse they are double discs loaded to the brim with material, but even these do not include all of a stars "best scenes". Sure they do not specifically state that it is a best of, but clearly that is what it is.

Is this just a case of tastes are different, or do studios hold back the best scenes to protect the sales of the titles they are from?

Edited for spelling

It might just be that I'm jaded, but it seems to me that most compilations are "thrown together" to cash in on a currently hot commodity. There seems to be little thought given to these titles except for the potential payback to the studio. Before I get flamed, I know there are exceptions, but I believe this is the rule.

Interesting questions. I haven't seen very many compilations, and what little I've seen hasn't made me want to see more.

I reviewed Only the Best of Inari Vachs not long ago. I'm still relatively new to porn (I bought my first adult DVD almost exactly one year ago), so I haven't seen enough from Metro to evaluate whether this is truly the best they have to offer. But on the whole, I felt it was a below average disc. Certainly I've seen Inari do stronger work with other studios.

YogaGrrl--it's almost always best to avoid Metro comps, even though some are pretty good. It's just that they have SO MANY of them-& you always end up with duplicate scenes, either from the movie they took it from, or another of their comps.---menace

There are a few good comps out there, but many more bad ones. VCA's Deep Inside series and the Adam & Eve's Signature Series are both well done comps that cut the scenes together with interviews from the star it's featuring. I've only seen one of the Private Life of DVDs, but agree that it's also a fantastic series. Adam & Eve's Ass Angels and Shades of Sex have also been a great series focusing on anal and inter-racial respectively, although their compilations have been very hit or miss. Vivid's Ultimate and Up Close and Personal also look very good, but Vivid's authoring has been leaving a lot to be desired lately which puts them near the bottom of the pile for me.
