by

As a Prime Video user, I’ve been checking out what’s new, and this week of December 8th looks great! They’ve got a really good mix of films – some timeless classics, a few scary movies, and even a perfect Christmas pick. Honestly, Prime Video has so many movies, it’s one of the biggest streaming libraries out there. That’s awesome, but it also means it can be hard to find the really good stuff hidden amongst everything else.

Prime Video offers a wide variety of movies, from new original films like the recent Christmas movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer, to timeless classics from Hollywood’s golden age. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find something you’ll love on Prime Video.

3. 12 Angry Men (1957)

Sidney Lumet is a highly acclaimed Hollywood director, and many consider his debut film to be his best work. In 1957, he directed 12 Angry Men, a compelling legal drama. The movie centers on a jury deliberating a case involving a son accused of murdering his father, but it focuses on the jurors themselves rather than the details of the crime or the people involved.

This film unfolds almost entirely within the jury room as twelve jurors deliberate a young man’s fate. Director Sidney Lumet delivers a masterful performance, subtly changing camera angles as the days wear on to visually reflect the jurors’ growing confinement and make the audience feel similarly trapped.

This beloved movie will be available to stream on Prime Video this December, giving both longtime fans and new viewers a chance to experience it. Widely considered a classic, it received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay. It’s also been recognized as one of the greatest courtroom dramas ever filmed, earning a place in the National Film Registry.

2. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a reimagining of a beloved 1956 science fiction film, and it surpasses the original in almost every aspect. The story centers around an alien invasion where aliens kidnap people and create perfect copies, subtly taking over their lives. Both the original movie and this updated version reflect anxieties prevalent during the Cold War era.

Featuring an amazing cast including Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum, this film is a thrilling and expertly crafted study of paranoia. It’s highly rated, with a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and widely considered to be both one of the greatest remakes ever made and a top-tier science fiction movie.

As a total movie buff, I’ve heard there are tons of fun Easter eggs hidden in the Prime Video version this month – little details for us dedicated fans to find! Apparently, there’s a really cool moment where Kevin McCarthy is running down the street, warning everyone about the aliens. It’s a fantastic nod to his role in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is just brilliant.

1. Love Actually (2003)

With December here, many Prime Video subscribers are searching for a festive film. Luckily, a popular Christmas movie is now available on the streaming service! Amazon has just added Love Actually, a delightful and charming holiday movie perfect for anyone who enjoys the genre.

Love Actually follows ten different love stories, featuring a star-studded cast including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, and Emma Thompson. While some parts haven’t held up over time, the performances are excellent, and it’s still a popular choice for holiday viewing.

If you’re looking to get into the holiday mood starting December 8th, this is a great movie to watch on Prime Video.
