Amazon this month (February 2023) is adding 76 new TV shows and movies to its Prime streaming lineup, including 59 movies added today. Here are four films that we absolutely love and would recommend that you watch at your earliest convenience.
* Almost Famous, the critically-acclaimed comedy/drama from director Cameron Crowe, based on his teenage adventures as a Rolling Stone correspondent;
* Chaplin, the 1992 biodrama starring Robert Downey Jr. in the title role (which netted him an Oscar nomination) as the legendary comedian;
* Downhill Racer, the 1969 drama starring Robert Redford (and Gene Hackman) as a skier who sacrifices everything for victory. Redford shows that he’s not afraid to exhibit a dark side as the narcissistic skier and Hackman is flawless (as usual) as his coach;
* And Heaven Can Wait, the 1978 comedy tour de force from Warren Beatty who (co-directs with Buck Henry) and stars as a NFL quarterback who gets a second chance at life after mistakenly summoned to the after life.
Here is the complete list of new TV shows and movies that will be added in February 2023 to Amazon Prime, which is free with an Amazon Prime membership:
