The 51 Best Movies on Amazon Prime (November 2021)

We know the drill: Sliding onto the couch cushions for movie night usually starts with flipping through the selection of flicks on Netflix and Hulu before you navigate over to Amazon Prime Video to see what’s good there. And while it may not be your first choice, the truth is that Prime Video has been building a massive library of movies and producing some award-winning titles consistently since 2006, and with its recent acquisition of MGM, it’s only going to get better.

But back to the dilemma at hand — you’d better find something to watch before your couch swallows you whole. Which is where we come in. Based on our own personal preferences, as well as ranking from aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and IMDb, this list is curated so you can cut to the chase and get to watching a great comedy, drama, sci-fi, documentary, or one of the excellent and award-winning Amazon Original Movies the streamer has to offer, fast. Have a read, watch a trailer or three, and take your pick — there’s a winner just waiting for you.

We’ve also put together guides to the best shows on Prime Video, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Netflix, and the best movies on Disney+.
