• 7 Amazon Prime Video Movies You May Have Missed

Amazon's big competitor Prime Video Netflix is ​​a treasure trove of cinematic goodness. The only problem is that it is boring to navigate. There are some areas where Amazon has fantastic content, but these are usually their own Amazon Originals and exclusive movies and shows. As such, if you're looking for something beyond a blockbuster, you'll need to dig deeper, while trying to avoid the many big-ticket pitfalls along the way. So, to help you get the most out of your Amazon Prime membership, we've spent many hours scouring online shelves to find 7 movies worth watching. Today's best Amazon Prime deals

Get Duked!

(Image credit: Amazon) Originally titled Boyz in the Wood, Get Duked is a fun and frenetic debut from music video director Ninian Doff (Chemical Brothers, Run the Jewels). Four boys from Glasgow are abandoned in the middle of the Highlands, as a kind of punishment by their school, where they have to kill their Duke of Edinburgh. Indicate smoking pot, listening to hip-hop, and too many bullshit jokes. Yet amongst the frivolity, there are plenty of laughs, there are some gory and politically charged quirks that wouldn't seem out of place in The League of Gentlemen.

Honey boy

(Image credit: Amazon) Shia LeBeouf's career seems to go from ping pong to gag (on All My Movies, he went live for 10 hours, uh, watching all of his movies) to the sublime. Fortunately, Honey Boy falls for the latter. A candid and heartfelt look into her own life, LeBeouf plays a version of her own father, an aggressive ex-rodeo clown, who watches her son rise to stardom. LeBeouf is fantastic in the film, but it's the story that she really draws here. She wrote it while she was in rehab, and playing the role of her father, who would have caused her so much pain in real life, is truly unique.

Hell House LLC

(Image credit: Fbi Films) Hell House LLC has come out with a glut of found films and has been wrongly dismissed by some critics. It's a shame, because there are real scares here. It's Halloween and a group of friends think they've created the ultimate horror house attraction, dubbed the Hell House. You can probably guess what will happen next, but the film shows the beginning of real-life horrors, finding out the reasons for the tragedy, piecing together interviews along the way. Filled with wacky scenes to keep you up at night, Hell House LLC is a low-budget curio that mostly works, unlike its pretty hokey suites.

The vastness of the night

(Image credit: Amazon Prime Video) A low-budget, no-budget thriller, The Vast of Night is the talk for UFOs. Set in the 1950s, but not wallowing in nostalgia for the decade (but definitely steeped in paranoia), the film is about strange radio static that has budding radio enthusiasts looking for aliens. . Create a tension-filled turn of events that's shot so brilliantly (some of this film's follow-up scenes compete for big-budget fare), you'll want to see it on as big a screen as possible.

Life after Flash

(Image credit: Amazon) There will never be another movie quite like Flash Gordon. Mike Hodges' multicolored masterpiece is a bad movie that knows exactly what he's doing, even if some of his actors, Max von Sydow in particular, don't. It's utterly ridiculous and endlessly watchable, and Life After Flash celebrates everything about the movie, from the way it was made to the love and adulation it still gets from fans. While it mainly focuses on Sam Jones and Melody Anderson as Flash Gordon and Dale Arden in the film, there's plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and talking heads that reveal how something so garish and boring opera Flash Gordon saw the light of day. .

The farewell

(Image credit: Amazon) The Farewell is one of the more well-known movies on this list, but we still think it needs to be seen by more people. It's something of a culture shock, built around an excellent premise: under the guise of marriage, an entire family comes together to say goodbye to their matriarch, Grandma Nai Nai, who doesn't know who. 'She suffers from terminal cancer. We see most of the movie through Billi's eyes. Now a New Yorker, she returns to China for the event and is shocked by the industrial change that has eroded her childhood memories. Directed by Lulu Wang and inspired by personal experience, this is a majestic film about white lies and how sometimes they end forever.

Brittany runs a marathon

(Image credit: Amazon) In all other hands, Brittany Runs a Marathon could have been a throwaway movie about an unfit person aiming to run a marathon (we're looking at you Run Fatboy Run), but there's something different at work here. This is thanks to writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo's honest approach to the subject and SNL alum Jillian Bell (last seen on Bill & Ted Face the Music), who is fantastic as a headline. from Brittany. You will find yourself supporting her as she tries to overcome some inner demons, although her nature is quite cruel.
