When you are in the mood for a hot, well made movie but you're not sure what kind of movie That's when Gay Movie Access comes in. But, if you know what you like and you know what you want, then you will do just as well here. There are over 3,280 scenes to view, from 824 movies, they are available to download in clips or full scenes in three resolutions and this is definitely one site where satisfaction is guaranteed.
When you've got 824 movies, where do you start? Well, you can start by using the good search and sort options. There are category lists with 21 genres, there is a vast list of stars and names to check out, you can view the many studios and see their titles arranged that way, or you can just browse the highest rated or most viewed. That's what Gay Movie Access does really well, it makes things easy.
You'll find pages of box covers as your first guide, you can usually read the titles on these pics, if not they are also written out, and you can sort them in various ways too. So when you choose, for example, Twinks movies to look at you can then see what's tops and what's most relevant to your search, you can skip pages, change the number of titles per page, and all and any can be added to your own personal favourites area.
Or you may fancy a particular studio and there are around 30 to choose from. You're not told much about the studios, or the stars for that matter, but when you select one you see all that studios titles on your index pages. And some of these studios are specialists in, for example, fetish work or older guys and dads, while others are pure Euro porn, including British companies. There were some that I'd heard of, some I recognised and many that were new to me, which suggests that this site, although well stocked, isn't your standard, run of the mill, collection of the usual suspects, making for varied and original entertainment.
And actually viewing your films is simple too. Although the pages give you a button for streaming, what you actually have are downloads (downloads in IE but streams in Firefox I noticed). Each movie is divided into its scenes, and each scene can be viewed in clips or as a full scene, but you have to download it first. I found only WMV files here but these were in three resolutions, from a dial up one, which was a bit rough, to a high definition one which was fine. Go for the best you can and you will find that the transfer rate for downloads is decent enough at a standard 70kbps or so.
Quality-wise; most studios here present you will good quality productions, well made, well filmed and often available to buy in shops. The casts vary of course, depending on the genre and studio, so there is nothing if not variety. And that is probably the main strength of the content; it is varied and there is a lot of it.
The main strength of the actual site though is its navigation. Each page has easy navigation links, with top jumps and next page where needed. The search and sort options are brilliant and there are many ways to find what you're looking for, it even has an advanced search engine for you to use. The design is professional and up to date, you're able to vote and thus rate the content, and I found no technical problems with the site at all.
I could suggest some things to add to make this even more special. There is some information about run times and a description of each movie; you can jump to a stars other scenes on the site from his linked name by a title on each movies individual page but there isn't a lot of info about the studios, stars and productions. A little more background would be good, though it's not really necessary.
The other obvious thing that's missing is update news. I didn't see any dates here so you are going to need to keep an eye on the home page to see if and when it changes. Mind you, with so much going on already, you've got over 1,000 hours of viewing ahead of you, so you're not going to need anything new any time soon.
Basically then, you've got a well designed site that is well stocked and very easy to use. No problems with getting around, there are some interactive options and some very classy search and sort functions to make your stay in here even more enjoyable.
Gay Movie Access is very simple and to the point in that it gives you loads of gay movies to view. Behind it is a very complicated programme running nice and smoothly that makes sure you get to what you want quickly and efficiently. It looks good, it's varied, it's well presented, there is loads of choice, three resolutions for each clip and scene, and you've got several months' worth of viewing waiting for you.
