Are amateur sex movies the best?

I cannot find this topic posted before, but going through and looking at the amateur vids, the praise for these such as "these are my favourite kind" etc, seems to be a clear vote in favour.

Why? If you prefer them then why is that? I know I do and I think it's because it's a lot closer to the real thing than all that staged, camera, lights action material which has a clinical, unreal quality about it.

Sure the amateur stuff has less-than-attractive women sometimes, some might be a little on the weighty side, but for me that's a bonus and an added charm as the video becomes real; not a pair of actors doing their nine-to-five work-a-day job and getting paid, but a horny couple enjoying what people enjoy most.
Also I guess you get a more genuine woman: one who wants to suck and shag and not a heavily made-up, to-gorgeous-to-be-true model with a silcone superstructure who lies back and thinks of getting laid then paid.

Okay, Filthymac is off his soap box now. Your thoughts please.

Some good points you made... I like both, but I tend to prefer the high quality studio stuff, I like how the lighting is just right so you can see everything clearly, and the camera is always getting a good shot of the action and is constantly moving in for close-ups, etc, as opposed to amateur videos where usually is just set in one position, and there's poor lighting, etc.

This is often very true, however, I have seen many mainstream hardcore productions where it's clear that the women enjoy their work, or at least are VERY convincing at it, and there are plenty that don't have boob jobs either (I can't stand the silicon!). Sasha Grey is a fine example.
