Must-watch classics on Prime Video (Vol.2)
Here's the second volume listing the best recommendations from the catalogue of classic cinema available on Prime Video.
Rolling Thunder
A smouldering revenge drama where William Devane plays a Vietnam war veteran who, along with a fellow officer (Tommy Lee Jones), seeks vengeance for tragic events that shatter their quiet existence.
Raging Bull
Martin Scorsese directs Robert De Niro in a complex, multilayered portrait of a flawed boxing hero grappling with his demons and insecurities, which is equally discomforting and awe-inducing.
Fargo
A kidnapping and blackmailing attempt gone awry brings together a bunch of disparate, conflicting characters in a chain of chaotic events that lead to bloodshed and make ample space for dark humour.
Hannah and Her Sisters
The Woody Allen directorial paints a thought-provoking picture of a bunch of women dealing with complications and contradictions in their own personalities and their relationships with flawed men.
Thelma & Louise
Ridley Scott's poignant tale of female bonding, with exceptional performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, is also one of the best road movies ever made where the dark elements are evened by sweet moments.
The Purple Rose of Cairo
Imagine you're watching a movie and you fall in love with a character who comes out of the screen and meets you in the flesh. What would you do? Directed by Woody Allen, the film is a delight for serious film buffs.
The Long Goodbye
Elliott Gould's singular interpretation of the iconic private detective Philip Marlowe, from Raymond Chandler's books, fits the counterculture mood perfectly and benefits from Robert Altman's gritty treatment.
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three
The far superior original 1974 version has Robert Shaw as the cool, composed mastermind of a hostage situation on a subway train and Walter Matthau as a police officer trying to salvage the situation skillfully.
