A whole host of new movies arrived on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video in June, including one of the most iconic and enduring black-and-white films of Hollywood\u2019s Golden Age. The streamer\u2019s other June arrivals include a classic sports underdog drama, an underrated biopic from \u201cLost in Translation\u201d filmmaker Sofia Coppola, an endlessly quotable early 2000s romance and an oft-forgotten late 2010s thriller starring \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d star Olivia Cooke. Amazon subscribers do not, in other words, have a lack of options to choose from on the platform in June.<\/p>\n

Here are the best movies on Prime Video<\/a> that are new to the streaming service this month.<\/p>\n

\"12-angry-men-cast\"\u201c12 Angry Men\u201d (United Artists)<\/p>\n

\u201c12 Angry Men\u201d (1957)<\/p>\n

\u201c12 Angry Men\u201d is a Hollywood classic that has stood the test of time. Director Sidney Lumet\u2019s feature directorial debut is a masterfully staged, performed and edited adaptation of Reginald Rose\u2019s 1954 teleplay of the same name. <\/p>\n

Anchored by an understated everyman performance for the ages by Henry Fonda, the film focuses on the members of a twelve-man jury as they deliberate the potential conviction or acquittal of a teenager charged with murder. An exploration of justice, guilt, bias and mercy, \u201c12 Angry Men\u201d works just as well now as it did 69 years ago.<\/p>\n

\""Hoosiers"\u201cHoosiers\u201d (Orion Pictures)<\/p>\n

\u201cHoosiers\u201d (1987)<\/p>\n

One of the greatest sports films ever made, director David Anspaugh\u2019s \u201cHoosiers\u201d is a movie of soft-spoken grace. Inspired in part by a real-life high school basketball team\u2019s 1954 state championship win, the film follows an outcast basketball coach (Gene Hackman) whose attempts to transform a small-town Indiana team into a winning unit are met with resistance and skepticism. <\/p>\n

Featuring two unforgettable performances from Hackman and Dennis Hopper, \u201cHoosiers\u201d is a straightforward underdog story that hits all the right notes, and it does so with a level of emotional maturity that makes even its quietest moments land with real force.<\/p>\n

\""Priscilla"\u201cPriscilla\u201d (A24)<\/p>\n

\u201cPriscilla\u201d (2023)<\/p>\n

Stars Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi give two wildly underrated performances in writer-director Sofia Coppola\u2019s \u201cPriscilla.\u201d<\/a> Based on Priscilla Presley\u2019s 1958 memoir \u201cElvis and Me,\u201d Coppola\u2019s film dramatizes the real-life romance between Elvis Presley (Elordi) and his wife, Priscilla (Spaeny).<\/p>\n

Told with the same clinical attention to detail as so many of Coppola\u2019s films, \u201cPriscilla\u201d is an understated and meditative coming-of-age docudrama about outgrowing your teenage dreams. Coppola tells her subject\u2019s story with the level of sensitivity that it deserves, and Spaeny\u2019s wide-eyed, open-hearted lead performance is bound to stick with you long after you finish watching it.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Apartment\u201d (United Artists)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Apartment\u201d (1960)<\/p>\n

1960\u2019s \u201cThe Apartment\u201d is one of the greatest films ever made. Director and co-writer Billy Wilder\u2019s follow-up to \u201cSome Like It Hot\u201d reteams him with frequent collaborator Jack Lemmon, who gives one of the best performances of his career as C.C. Baxter, a low-level insurance clerk who \u2014 in the hopes of climbing the corporate ladder \u2014 allows his superiors to use his apartment for their extramarital affairs.<\/p>\n

Things get messy, absurd and quietly, achingly heartbreaking when CC\u2019s corporate hustle ends up complicating his budding romance with heartsick elevator operator Fran (Shirley MacLaine). Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond\u2019s screenplay is faultless, and the same is true for the resulting film.<\/p>\n

\"night-of-the-hunter\"\u201cThe Night of the Hunter\u201d (United Artists)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Night Of The Hunter\u201d (1955)<\/p>\n

Speaking of perfect films: 1955\u2019s \u201cThe Night of the Hunter.\u201d Actor-director Charles Laughton\u2019s nightmarish Southern Gothic thriller is one of the most visually imaginative and striking horror films ever made. Star Robert Mitchum gives an unforgettably sleazy, villainous performance in \u201cThe Night of the Hunter\u201d as a serial killer<\/a> who, while posing as a preacher, ensnares a widow (Shelley Winters) and her two children in his trap to acquire the $10,000 of stolen cash that their late father hid before his death.<\/p>\n

An unflinching clash between the darkness of the adult world and the innocent light of children, \u201cThe Night of the Hunter\u201d is a fairy tale thriller about the corrosive powers of greed and the graceful beauty of mercy and care.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Notebook\u201d (New Line Cinema)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Notebook\u201d (2004)<\/p>\n

Director Nick Cassavetes\u2019 \u201cThe Notebook\u201d holds a special place in a lot of film fans\u2019 hearts for a reason. An adaptation of the 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks, the film tells the story of a young couple (played by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) who fall in love in the 1940s and have their passionate romance tested by matters of class, war and their own, stubborn hearts.<\/p>\n

Gosling and McAdams have near-unrivaled chemistry together on screen, and Cassavetes\u2019 direction finds the right balance between genuine romance and a little good old-fashioned sentimentality. A tearjerker if there has ever been one.<\/p>\n

\"Thoroughbreds\"\u201cThoroughbreds\u201d (Claire Folger\/Focus Features)<\/p>\n

\u201cThoroughbreds\u201d (2018)<\/p>\n

\u201cThoroughbreds\u201d is an unsettling, deceptively clever black comedy thriller from first-time writer-director Cory Finley. Oft-forgotten but better than its slight reputation suggests, Finley\u2019s feature directorial debut follows a cold high school student (Anya Taylor-Joy<\/a>) and her emotionless friend (Olivia Cooke) as they plot to kill the former\u2019s stepfather (Paul Sparks) with the help of a local, small-time drug dealer (Anton Yelchin).<\/p>\n

Unsparing in its examination of its leads\u2019 carefully hidden sociopathy, \u201cThoroughbreds\u201d is a thriller that unfolds with a lazy pace that leaves you totally unprepared for its stomach-churning final act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A whole host of new movies arrived on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video in June, including one of the most…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":731963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[4856,88,206,5135],"class_list":["post-731962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-amazon-prime-video","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-what-to-watch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/731963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
