Prime Video is among this year’s early Black Friday streaming deals, and with a huge library to watch, you might not know where to start. Thankfully, I’ve got three excellent movies to recommend, to suit a variety of tastes.
Whether you’re a horror fan like me who has streamed all the new horror movies in November, or you prefer classic cinema, I’ve picked out some titles with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, and one of them is even close to being a perfect 100%.
Conclave
![CONCLAVE - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters October 25 - YouTube](https://i0.wp.com/img.youtube.com/vi/JX9jasdi3ic/maxresdefault.jpg?w=696&ssl=1)
Age rating: PG-13
Runtime: 120 minutes
Main cast: Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini
Director: Edward Berger
RT score: 93%
If you didn’t watch Conclave around awards season, now is the perfect time to do it. I have never been so invested in cardinals before, and the drama is so gripping to watch. It’s perfectly paced as we uncover some dark truths about the Roman Catholic Church.
Not only that, it’s shot beautifully too. Whenever I rewatch Conclave, I end up completely invested in its world and story. You don’t need to be religious yourself to be entertained by this story of powerful religious leaders gathering in the halls of the Vatican to vote for their next Pope. It is a masterclass in filmmaking.
10 Cloverfield Lane
Age rating: PG-13
Runtime: 104 minutes
Main cast: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr
Director: Dan Trachtenberg
RT score: 91%
I’m always very impressed when a sequel outperforms the original. 10 Cloverfield Lane has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than Cloverfield, which only scored 78%. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t watched Cloverfield either, as this movie works very well as a standalone piece.
We follow a woman named Michelle, after she finds herself in a bunker with a stranger who informs her that the air outside is poisoned. Michelle is dazed and scared, and decides to try to escape the bunker despite the stranger’s warning. It’s tense and edge-of-your-seat stuff, and I think I also might like it more than the first Cloverfield.
Rear Window
Age rating: PG
Runtime: 111 minutes
Main cast: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
RT score: 99%
Finally, here’s a classic movie that came so close to having a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. Next to Psycho, this is one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. Full of suspense, layered themes, and great performances, it’s gone down in history as being one of the greatest thriller movies of all time.
The plot centers on a professional photojournalist with a broken leg who spends his time spying on his neighbors through his window to pass the time. But when he believes he’s witnessed a murder, his pastime becomes dangerous and obsessive.
