These films are still available for streaming, but their time on the platform is running out. So, if you want to catch them, add them to your queue ASAP and enjoy the cinematic experience before they bid adieu.
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002)
Can one ever have enough of Ryan Reynolds? Before he became the iconic Deadpool, the owner of the Wrexham English football team, and a beloved Canadian treasure, Reynolds was an actor searching for his big break. One of his earlier roles was in “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder,” a contemporary take on the beloved National Lampoon’s franchise.
In this film, Reynolds portrays a character reminiscent of Ferris Bueller, who has turned college into a lifestyle, assisting fellow students while continuously struggling to graduate. When his father cuts off his tuition, Wilder embarks on a series of hilarious schemes to maintain his party-centric way of life.
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
When it comes to the dreamy actors who embodied the ideal ’50s man, James Dean takes the top spot. Arguably, his most iconic film is “Rebel Without a Cause,” a coming-of-age romantic drama centered around Jim (Dean), a teenager who constantly finds himself in trouble. However, his issues stem from a tumultuous home life.
This film delves into profound themes of parenting, youth, and generational disparities. “Rebel Without a Cause” is one of those historically significant movies that everyone has heard of, but not everyone has had the chance to watch. Now is the perfect time to experience it before it departs from Prime Video.
Yours, Mine & Ours (2005)
Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo star in this heartwarming family comedy about a blended family with a staggering 18 children in total. A remake of the 1968 movie of the same name, “Yours, Mine & Ours” follows Frank (Quaid), who reunites with an old flame named Helen (Russo). Frank has eight kids from his first marriage, while the widowed Helen has 10, including six adopted children.
When they decide to marry impulsively, the kids are thrown into a whirlwind as the two households merge. While “Yours, Mine & Ours” may not have received critical acclaim, it offers enjoyable, light-hearted, and predictable entertainment, making it a great choice for family viewing.
Wrath of Man (2021)
For those craving a gripping heist action thriller, the name Jason Statham likely springs to mind. Statham is among the finest in the action movie genre, and his performance in “Wrath of Man” is no exception. Written and directed by Guy Ritchie, the film casts Statham as Patrick Hill, an armored truck guard present during a robbery but suspected by his co-workers of potential involvement.
“Wrath of Man” unfolds uniquely in four acts, each revealing a different stage in Hill’s life before and after the pivotal events. While the movie may not be an award-winner, it certainly delivers the high-stakes action and suspense that Statham fans have come to expect.
Night Train to Lisbon (2013)
Based on Pascal Mercier’s 2004 novel, “Night Train to Lisbon” revolves around Raimund (Jeremy Irons), a Swiss teacher whose intuition guides him to save a woman’s life. When she disappears, leaving her coat and a train ticket, Raimund embarks on a journey to find her, using a book as his guide.
As he follows the trail, Raimund unravels the mystery surrounding the enigmatic woman. While “Night Train to Lisbon” received mixed reviews, with some critics finding it lacking in tension, the film offers stunning cinematography, with scenes shot throughout Germany, Portugal, and Switzerland.
Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy these captivating movies before they depart from Amazon Prime Video. Add them to your watchlist and savor their cinematic magic while you still can.
