If you’re on the lookout for your next movie night pick, Prime Video has you covered with a huge library of titles ready for you to choose from – and we can help you find the good stuff.
For starters, how about There Will Be Blood? Paul Thomas Anderson directs an Oscar-winning Daniel Day Lewis, who gives a towering performance as a ruthless oilman rising during California’s early oil boom, whose ambition brings him into conflict with a zealous preacher (Paul Dano). A dark, intense character study, it’s widely regarded as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.

As a warm-up while waiting for those late-night World Cup matches to kick off, you could watch Saipan. Steve Coogan is excellent as Ireland football manager Mick McCarthy, dealing with a team on the verge of mutiny during the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. But it’s Eanna Hardwicke as combustible team captain Roy Keane who brings the fireworks.
Furiosa: a Mad Max Saga is another suggestion. The film is a prequel to 2015’s hit Fury Road, which won six Oscars out of 10 nominations. Anya Taylor-Joy takes over from original star Charlize Theron as a younger version of Furiosa, with the epic story following her travails in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland after she falls in with a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth).
Inspired by Danny Lyon’s 1968 photobook of the same name, The Bikeriders tells the story of the Vandals MC, a motorcycle gang in 1960s Chicago that morphs from a refuge for outsiders to a sinister gang. Tom Hardy plays Johnny, the leader of the gang, and Austin Butler as Benny, a member of the club who finds himself torn between his loyalty to the gang and his partner Kathy (Jodie Comer).
You could try Oscar-winning and -nominated fare such as Gladiator, 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 to inspire film fans.
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.
