Freevee, Amazon’s ad-supported free service, next month (August 2023) is adding 47 new titles, mostly movies. Here are the 4 best movies, in our humble opinion:
1. Jurassic Park (1993)
Jurassic Park, the 1993 movie directed by Steven Spielberg, is an absolute masterpiece that continues to awe and captivate audiences even decades after its release. With groundbreaking special effects, a thrilling plot, and memorable performances, this dinosaur-packed adventure remains an enduring classic of the sci-fi genre. Spielberg skillfully balances wonder and terror, immersing viewers in the marvel of a resurrected prehistoric world while weaving a cautionary tale about the dangers of tampering with nature.
2. Damsels In Distress (2011; released in United States in 2012.)
Damsels In Distress is a quirky and refreshing comedy that breathes new life into the college campus genre. Director Whit Stillman’s witty dialogue and cleverly absurd scenarios create an engaging and eccentric world inhabited by a group of well-meaning but eccentric college girls led by the charismatic Greta Gerwig. The film’s unique blend of satire and sincerity explores themes of friendship, romance, and the pursuit of bettering oneself through an unusual and amusing lens.
3. Tombstone (1993)
Tombstone, the 1993 western starring Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer as Doc ‘I’m Your Huckleberry’ Holliday. Russell is good, but Kilmer is masterful in the role of the terminally ill gunslinger who seems to tempt (and cheat) death at every turn.
4. The Magnificent Seven (1960)
The Magnificent Seven, released in 1960, is an absolute cinematic triumph that continues to stand the test of time. Director John Sturges masterfully brings together an ensemble cast of iconic actors, including Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, in a thrilling and emotional tale of valor and camaraderie. This classic western epic is a captivating blend of action, drama, and memorable character development, set against stunning cinematography and a stirring musical score.
