Streaming giant Prime Video has no shortage of films to choose from, but finding the right one can be easier said than done. If you're stuck in an endless cycle of scrolling, let Radio Times's experts guide you to the movies most worth your time.
A good choice in Halloween week is Hokum, a supernatural folk-horror from writer-director Damian McCarthy. Adam Scott stars as a reclusive novelist who visits a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to become consumed by stories of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite.
Coming-of-age biopic Tony follows a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain during a formative summer working in the high-pressure kitchens of Cape Cod, where the relationships, excesses and hard-earned lessons of restaurant life begin to shape the man he will become.
Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski returns with sci-fi action-comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The film stars Sam Rockwell as a time traveller who recruits a ragtag group of Los Angeles diners for a desperate mission: stop a rogue artificial intelligence before it brings about the end of humanity.
In 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.
New to Prime is Rebuilding, a thoughtful neo-western drama from writer-director Max Walker-Silverman. Josh O’Connor stars as a Colorado cowboy whose life is upended by wildfire, forcing him to find strength in community while reconnecting with his ex-wife and daughter. The acclaimed Sundance film is a moving story of resilience, loss and fresh starts.
Biopic The Wizard of the Kremlin also pops up as a Prime exclusive. It tells how Vladimir Putin (played by a wig-wearing Jude Law) rose to power in the 1990s, helped by the relatively unknown scheming of one amoral power-player (Paul Dano). Intriguing and pacey, it's carried by Dano's fantastic turn.
You can also choose from Oscar-winning and -nominated fare such as Manchester by the Sea, Network and The Philadelphia Story, plus original movies such as Saltburn and Palm Springs, or feel-good pictures like hit musical Everybody's Talking about Jamie, meaning there is plenty to inspire you.
If you're looking for the best films to watch right now, then look no further. Every movie on the list below has been hand-picked by RT's team, so you will know exactly which titles you should dive into when you next log on to the streamer.
