The 72 best movies on Amazon Prime Video (October 2022)

Trying to find the best movies on Amazon Prime Video by scrolling and hacking your way through the streaming service’s awkward menus is no fun, we know this. But with more than 7,000 movies to choose from — all free if you’re an Amazon Prime member — why wouldn’t you want to take advantage and get the most out of your membership? Especially since there’s an utterly insane amount of great films to be had, spanning every conceivable genre from comedies like Bridesmaids and classics like The Purple Rose of Cairo to even newer hits such as Alexander Skarsgård’s brutal Viking action drama The Northman. They’re all here for the taking, and we know this because we scour the monthly listings to find them for you every week for this helpful roundup. For a full look at everything new to Amazon Prime Video this month, check out Rick Marshall’s list as well.

We’ve also put together guides to the best shows on Prime Video, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Netflix, the best new movies to stream, and the best movies on Disney+.
