“Best Amazon Prime Movies” is a very broad term. Also, what is better or what is worse for each one will always depend on subjective criteria. In any case, we are going to try to keep our recommendations following the most objective criteria possible, trying to undertake the arduous task of being inclusive with all types of public.
We have tried to put a bit of all genres for everyone, however it is possible that we have left something along the way. Without further delay, we leave you below with our list with the best that you can find in terms of cinema on the platform of Jeff Bezos's company.
A date with the past
Starring Chris Pine and Thandie Newton, this film stands as a strong candidate to be one of the best Amazon Prime movies. We meet a thriller of spies in which CIA agent Henry Pelham has to find the author of a leak that led to the death of 100 people.
In that trance, agent Pelham will meet up with his ex-lover Celia Harrison, with whom he will try to revive his old romance.
Damn bastards
Quentin Tarantino shows us his particular vision of World War II in one of the best Amazon Prime movies. This action title starring Brad Pitt tells us the story of a battalion made up of Jewish soldiers, centered on end specific objectives of the Third Reich.
This very special battalion is called "The Bastards", and this film also brings us Christoph Waltz in one of his most memorable (and detestable) performances. Totally recommended.
Fight club
David Fincher is the king of decadent atmospheres. films like Seven witness it, and Fight club it does nothing but witness it. It is without a doubt a film that marked an important moment in time, and that opens an interesting debate on what happens when a person longs to escape from his own life and is subjected to extreme situations.
Both Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are huge in the film. The idea of self-destruction as a way of keeping one's life interesting is thoroughly explored, with shocking results.
Bad streets
One of the emblematic titles of Martin Scorsese has to be part of our list of the best Amazon Prime movies, yes or yes. Not only is this director's first film, but it is also a classic in its own right.
In this film that would help define 70s mobster cinema, a New York robber is slowly climbing the ranks of the city's mafia, but a friend who keeps getting into trouble will make him choose between friendship and power.
wild bull
You can't talk about Scorsese classics without talking about wild bull. With a Robert de Niro who is simply spectacular (this role helped him win the Oscar for best actor), the story of boxer Jake LaMotta is a sports drama that has decades captivating viewers worldwide.
The Big Lebowski
One of the most beloved films of the Coen brothers helps us to talk about the first comedy on the list. In it, Jeff Bridges (who plays Jeff "El Nota" Lebowski) embarks with John Goodman and Steve Buscemi on the quest for the big lebowski, a guy with the same name as him.
The fact is that, thanks to the confusion of identities, a thug ruins the carpet of "El Nota". The "little Lebowski" has no choice but to find the big one, to see if he can recover the damaged property from him.
The Day of the Beast
The second film by Alex de la Iglesia is, without a doubt, one of the jewels of the new Spanish cinema that was conceived in the 90s of the XNUMXth century. We are talking about a hilarious black comedy, where the apocalypse, psychotropic drugs for dessert and unusual situations shake hands and dance around the viewer.
Father Berriartúa (played by the sadly deceased Alex Angulo) predicts that the end of the world will come on Christmas Eve 1997, and he will do everything possible to prevent it.
Thesis
We continue with that new Spanish cinema that began to buzz in the 90s of the last century. It's about the doctoral thesis of the director Alejandro Amenábar, which elaborates a masterful story of suspense with the snuff movies (movies where a real person is tortured and killed) as background. This story serves to elaborate an interesting reflection on violence in the cinema and the limits of what can be shown on the screen.
Played by Ana Torrent, the protagonist of the story comes across a video with an alleged real murder in the archive of the Faculty of Communication Sciences of her university. This discovery throws her into extremely murky waterswhere nothing is ever what it seems.
No country for old men
This film starring Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones is undoubtedly one of the best Amazon Prime movies. In it, we are set in West Texas in 1980, where everything is desolate and it is (almost all) open country. We are before a thriller which has drug trafficking as a background, in which Josh Brolin (Llewelyn Moss) finds a briefcase containing two million dollars at the scene of a drug deal gone wrong.
Moss takes the briefcase home, prompting Javier Bardem (Anton Chigurh) to be hired to retrieve it and take down whoever its current owner is.
Teachers
This Amazon Prime original movie is a nod from the platform to new ways of understanding the horror genre, explored by other films such as Let me out. Teachers is a psychological horror film which is set in an elite New England university, built on a hill that once stood as a pre-colonial gallows.
At this university as old as the United States itself, racist attacks on a black first-year student unearth the ghosts of the institution's past.
