This page is here to bring you great selections from Prime Video's enviable back catalog. When you've worked your way through this little lot, make sure to check out our guide to the best new shows and movies, as well as our lists of the best shows on Prime Video and the best movies to watch on Prime Video right now.
Relationship Goals
Available: US/UK
Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland and Cliff "Method Man" Smith star in this buzzy romantic comedy. Rowland plays Leah Caldwell, a TV producer on a prestigious New York morning show. She is hoping to take the next step in her career and become the first female showrunner on the programme, but just as she thinks she has secured the role, Jarrett Roy (Smith) joins the network and becomes her immediate rival. Complicating matters significantly is the fact that Leah and Jarrett used to date.
Who will get the job? And will their rivalry rekindle their attraction? This is a romantic comedy, so you can probably guess the answer to that last one. Relationship Goals is a warm and funny movie that's sure to brighten your weekend.

Fargo
Available: US/UK
The Coen Brothers have countless classics in their filmography, but Fargo is a strong contender for their best ever feature. This darkly comic thriller from 1996 is set in snowy Minnesota and follows a bungled kidnap plot, a tenacious cop – the always excellent Frances McDormand as the instantly iconic Marge Gunderson – and a lot of bloodshed. It's back on Prime Video now for the first time in a while and, if you've never seen it, you're in for a real treat.
Fargo served as the inspiration for the TV show of the same name by Noah Hawley. That's a great anthology series, very much in the same vein as the film. Still, the original remains a peerless classic and a movie that stands up to multiple viewings.

Sisu
Available: US
This stripped down revenge thriller took a lot of us by surprise when it debuted in 2022. Jorma Tommila stars as Aatami Korpi, a gold prospector in Lapland who crosses paths with a gang of Waffen-SS. The Nazis harass Korpi, something that proves to be a big mistake when he mercilessly slaughters them all and then goes after their platoon, making inventive use of every weapon he has to hand. And that's kind of it.
The pleasure of Sisu (a Finnish word which means "stoic determination, grit, or bravery") is the dark humor and sheer energy with which its taciturn hero goes about offing the baddies. With the sequel, Sisu 2: Road to Revenge having released late last year, and now available to rent and buy digitally, it's a great time to revisit the beginning of this bloody saga.
