If you’re lining up your next movie night, Prime Video has plenty to dive into.
Based on Stephen King’s novel, dystopian thriller The Long Walk follows teenage boys forced into a televised endurance march where slowing down means death. Starring Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, The Long Walk explores survival, friendship and the brutal cost of hope under an authoritarian regime.
How about Quentin Tarantino’s 1969-set Hollywood reverie Once upon a Time…in Hollywood, which follows fading actor Rick Dalton and devoted stuntman Cliff Booth (Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt), as their lives brush Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), against the looming Manson murders and changing industry?

In brain-twisting time loop comedy Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, a Kyoto café owner discovers his monitor shows events two minutes ahead via a screen below. As friends experiment with this anomaly, looping images create paradoxes, forcing them to act according to what they have seen.

Meanwhile, what could be a more enjoyable way to spend the evening than with classic romantic comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary, about the protagonist’s struggles against increasing weight, alcohol and cigarette addiction, and the anxieties of being a 30-something singleton? Helen Fielding’s novel is brought most satisfyingly to the screen by director Sharon Maguire, writers Andrew Davies and Richard Curtis, and particularly Renée Zellweger as Bridget.

For a more sobering watch, documentary film All the Beauty and the Bloodshed follows photographer and activist Nan Goldin, tracing her life, work and involvement in AIDS activism and the art world, alongside her leadership of the group PAIN in campaigning against the Sackler family’s role in the opioid crisis.

You could try Oscar-nominated fare such as Nickel Boys and The Zone of Interest, plus original movies such as romcom Palm Springs and Saltburn, or feel-good pictures like hit musical Everybody’s Talking about Jamie, meaning there is plenty for any film fan to choose from.

The streamer has developed a great habit of picking up some of the best cinema releases of recent years for its library – and one film that fits squarely into the category is Small Things like These, an emotionally devastating drama set in 1980s Ireland starring Cillian Murphy.

Those wanting horror fare can turns to movies including Longlegs and Heretic, while those looking for classics can enjoy the likes of From Dusk till Dawn and The Long Good Friday.
