3 New Prime Video Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 15-17): ‘Hot Fuzz' and More
It's heating up on Prime Video in May, with newly added hits and classics that are sure to keep you inside and entertained.
Watch With Us are true believers in Amazon's supremacy among its competitors, which is why we've curated a brief list of the best new Prime Video movies to watch this weekend.
The action-comedy Hot Fuzz is a cult classic for a reason - it's packed with enough laughs and punches to impress die-hard fans of both genres.
Speaking of hot, there's nothing steamier than Some Like It Hot, a classic comedy that's surprisingly suggestive for its time.
If you like a good summer horror film, nothing beats 2001's Jeepers Creepers, which shows how curiosity can kill more than your pet cat.
‘Hot Fuzz' (2007)
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a hot-headed police officer who isn't too happy when he's transferred from big city London to the provincial town of Sandford. That's why he's excited when two local actors are decapitated - finally, a serious crime to investigate! But when the bodies start to stack up, he'll have to team up with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), a local officer he doesn't have much respect for, to find who is behind the murders.
The second film in Edgar Wright's beloved Cornetto trilogy, Hot Fuzz works as both a satire of buddy-cop action movies like Lethal Weapon and 48 Hrs., as well as being a decent one all by itself. The movie is loaded with one head-turning cameo after another (blink, and you'll miss Cate Blanchett and Peter Jackson) and the film's plot is entertaining even when it goes off the rails, but what ultimately makes Hot Fuzz the cult film it is today is the brotastic chemistry between Pegg's Angel and Frost's Butterman. The characters are super pumped to become the action heroes they've always looked up to, and that feeling is infectious.
Hot Fuzz is streaming on Prime Video.
‘Jeepers Creepers' (2001)
On a road trip through the empty Florida countryside, siblings Trish (Gina Phillips) and Darry (Justin Long) see something they shouldn't have - a man wearing a trenchcoat dumping bodies near an abandoned church. Forgetting that curiosity killed many cats over the years, they investigate and discover the man they saw is The Creeper (Jonathan Breck), an ancient creature that hibernates every 23 years until it's time to feed on humans' fear again. The Creeper is still hungry, and it sets its sights on Trish and Darry to satisfy its appetite.
A sleeper hit in 2001, Jeepers Creepers has become a cult horror film that stills scares people today. It clearly rips off Stephen King's It, right down to the punctual ancient entity that conveniently wakes up just as the story starts, but Jeepers Creepers distinguishes itself with its carefully crafted jumpscares and two lead characters. Trish and Darry are appealing horror protagonists with some depth, and you care what happens to them.
Jeepers Creepers is streaming on Prime Video.
‘Some Like It Hot' (1959)
After big band musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) witness a mafia hit, they high-tail it out of Chicago and go deep undercover to avoid getting killed. How deep is their cover? Well, Joe and Jerry break out the makeup and girdles and pose as Josephine and Daphne, the newest members of Sweet Sue and her Society Syncopators, an all-female jazz band headed to Miami. But once they reach their sunny destination, a new problem arises - Josephine falls head over heels in love with Sugar (Marilyn Monroe), the band's blonde bombshell singer who's through with love. Will Josephine/Joe's infatuation break his cover and, in turn, break both his and Jerry's necks as a result?
Some Like It Hot is a classic for a reason - it remains one of the funniest movies ever made. It's surprisingly progressive for a movie made in the 1950s about men in drag and sexual fluidity, with Jerry/Daphne embarking on his own romance with daffy millionaire Osgood Fielding III (Joe E. Lewis). Lemmon is hilarious as the lovestruck Jerry, who is confused and excited about his new love affair, but this is Marilyn's movie, and the actress has never been more hauntingly beautiful or touchingly vulnerable as the jaded and gullible Sugar. The last minute of the movie remains the most perfect ending in movie history.
Some Like It Hot is streaming on Prime Video.
