Roofman (2025)
It's a weird time for movies, and Roofman would have been a hit 10 years ago. Channing Tatum stars as an escaped prisoner who hides in a Toys 'R' Us and soon falls for a woman who works at the store. Mostly glowing reviews and a great cast couldn't help the quirky dramedy secure much at the box office.
Thankfully, it has shot up the charts on Prime Video. The humor is light and refreshing, and it's the sort of breezy film that's ideal for unwinding during a stressful week. The fact that the movie is based on a true story makes it all the more compelling, and Roofman is bound to be a modern-day cult classic soon enough.

The Vast Of Night (2019)
With Hollywood budgets soaring, The Vast of Night shows how much can be accomplished with a lot less. In 1950s New Mexico, a DJ and switchboard operator attempt to track down the source of a mysterious extraterrestrial signal. It's moody and character-driven, and gets all the small details right.
Though it's certainly a slow burn, The Vast of Night is a satisfying sci-fi experience, especially for genre fans. It streams exclusively on Prime Video, so subscribers have access to a unique hidden gem. In a time when the sci-fi genre is looking for the next big thing, the 2019 gem is a reminder that bigger isn't always better.

Raging Bull (1980)
Prime Video might carry the latest films, but it also has many all-time classics in its catalog too. Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull chronicles the rise and fall of boxer Jake LaMotta, and his troubled life both in and out of the ring. Robert De Niro gave a career-making performance, and the movie was robbed of Best Picture.
A crown jewel in Martin Scorsese's filmography, Raging Bull is a startling character study with elements of sports drama thrown in as well. There's a subtle style to the black-and-white visuals, and it is a masterclass in the art of film editing. If you're looking to expand your film acumen, Prime Video has you covered with Raging Bull.
