15 Best Movies to Watch on Amazon Prime Video
1. 13 Assassins
- Year: 2011
- Duration: 2h 5m
- Director: Takashi Miike
Takashi Miike has directed over 100 films, and this is one of the finest, samurai-style ballads built on modern filmmaking expertise. A remake of the 1963 Eiichi Kudo film, this film is based on the true events of 1844 when 12 samurai and a hunter collaborated to assassinate the leader of the Akashi clan. The film strikes a perfect balance between storytelling and samurai gore.
2. Almost Famous
- Year: 2000
- Duration: 2h 3m
- Director: Cameron Crowe
Cameron Crowe wrote and directed this 2000 masterpiece about a young man (Patrick Fugit) who travels with the rock band Stillwater. With superb supporting performances from Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, this is one of the most memorable and enduring films of its time, one that always feels better every time you watch it.
3. Good Will Hunting
- Year: 1998
- Duration: 2h 6m
- Director: Gus Van Sant
In 1997, two longtime friends named Ben Affleck and Matt Damon saw their dream come true in the form of a drama that would turn them into big names and win them an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Damon plays Will Hunting, a janitor who doesn't live up to his intellectual potential, but what really makes the film effective is its emotional foundation. Much of that is thanks to therapy provided by Robin Williams, who won an Oscar for his performance.
4. House of Gucci
- Year: 2021
- Duration: 2h 37m
- Director: Ridley Scott
One of two 2021 films by the excellent Ridley Scott is already available on Prime Video in this adaptation of Sara Gay Forden's 2001 non-fiction book. Lady Gaga gives a bold performance as Patrizia Reggiani, whose romance with fashion empire heir Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) ends violently. A modern camp classic for Jared Leto accent only, House of Gucci is a fascinating exercise in excess.
5. Moneyball
- Year: 2011
- Duration: 2h 13m
- Director: Bennett Miller
One of the best baseball movies ever made was adapted from the 2003 book by Michael Lewis, which chronicles the management of the 2002 season of the Oakland Athletics, and how they changed the way the game was run by bringing analytics to the game. Brad Pitt gives one of his best performances as general manager Billy Beane, a man who knows he has to find new ways to evaluate talent if the A's are to compete. It's a rich, smart, and interesting film that's made even more interesting considering what the Oakland franchise is up against in 2023.
6. The Pianist
- Year: 2003
- Duration: 2h 28m
- Director: Roman Polanski
Adrien Brody won an Oscar for Roman Polanski's true story about the life of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jewish pianist who survived the Holocaust. Heartwarming and thrilling, The Pianist captures something rarely seen in historical documents — how often survival is often decided by chance encounters and sheer luck. Polanski also won the Oscar for Best Director.
7. Thelma and Louise
- Year: 1991
- Duration: 2h 9m
- Director: Ridley Scott
It's hard to believe it's been more than three decades since Thelma and Louise dominated the national conversation and even the Academy Awards. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis give two of the best performances of their careers in this unforgettable story about an assault that sends two women on a journey where their fates are determined. Every aspect of this film works better than you might remember, especially the daring performances of its two main stars.

8. Whiplash
- Year: 2014
- Duration: 1j 46m
- Director: Damien Chazelle
Damien Chazelle may still be surprised by the mixed response to Babylon, but he could return to the movie that really made him famous, earning one of its stars an Oscar and earning a nomination for Best Picture. Chazelle's drama about a perfectionist drummer and his militaristic guru has been electrifying audiences since its premiere at Sundance. It's a big part of pop culture, a movie that feels referenced more and more every year.
9. Nope
- Year: 2022
- Duration: 2h 10m
- Director: Jordan Peele
The genius behind Get Out and Us produced its most controversial film of 2022, a story that mixes an alien invasion with commentary about movie-going and spectacles in general. Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer are fantastic in this story about people being plagued by an alien species who love to watch. With a brilliant structure and beautifully shot, Nope is the ultimate blockbuster horror film set.
10. Shutter Island
- Year: 2010
- Duration: 2h 18m
- Director: Martin Scorsese
In 2010, Martin Scorsese released his adaptation of Dennis Lehane's best novel, the story of a US Marshal (Leonardo DiCaprio) who investigates missing patients in a legendary mental hospital. Scorsese takes full control of his craftsman skills in this exciting thriller that also stars Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, and Michelle Williams. This is one of the most underrated films of the last decade.
11. The Big Lebowski
- Year: 1998
- Duration: 1j 57m
- Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Well, it's just your opinion, man. Joel and Ethan Coen followed up the biggest hit of their career, Fargo, with the story Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, played by the unforgettable Jeff Bridges. In one of her most iconic roles, Bridges captures the style of L.A. the laid back that turned this film into a comedy classic, a film that is being quoted somewhere in the world every minute of every day.
12. Lost in Translation
Tahun: 2003
Durasi: 1j 42m
Sutradara: Sofia Coppola
Sofia Coppola burst into the world of filmmaking with her second film, her drama about a faded movie star who meets an American girl in Tokyo, and their lives both change. Bill Murray gives the best performance of his career in this film (and should win an Oscar), and he's paired with Scarlett Johansson, but this is really a Coppola film, a soft, brilliant character study with personal resonance.
13. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Year: 2001
- Duration: 2h
- Director: Ang Lee
One of the most successful foreign-language films of all time, Ang Lee's Wuxia epic was so popular that it earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, along with nine other nominations (winning four). This is a beautiful film based on the Chinese novel by Wang Dulu starring the legendary Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen. This film hasn't aged a day in the more than two decades since its release.
14. Top Gun
- Year: 1986
- Duration: 1j 50m
- Director: Tony Scott
Tom Cruise reminded everyone that he really is a movie star in Tony Scott's 1986 action film about Maverick. This film has many iconic and unforgettable moments, and it also shows how Cruise can turn any movie into a blockbuster.
15. Moonlight
- Year: 2016
- Duration: 1j 51m
- Director: Barry Jenkins
Barry Jenkins' drama about a black gay man in Miami was a work of art and won Best Picture at the 2017 Academy Awards, beating out La La Land in a moment no film fan will ever forget. This is a stunning film, drawn with care and beauty, and features some of the finest performances in film history.
