Freevee, Amazon’s ads-included streaming service that does not require a Prime membership, will add 32 new movies to its lineup tomorrow (December 1, 2023). Here are the three best, in my humble opinion:

The Night of the Hunter (1955)
The Night of the Hunter, directed by Charles Laughton (the only film the great actor ever directed), is a haunting masterpiece that blends 1950s noir with gothic themes. Robert Mitchum plays a charismatic preacher whose eyes are on earthly possessions (like stolen money) rather than what’s above. Two children have the secret to the loot, leading the Preach on a hunt for the kids that’s marked by striking visuals and shadowy contrasts, creates an atmosphere of unremitting tension. Great film!

The American (2010)
The American is a suspenseful and visually stunning thriller that showcases George Clooney’s understated yet compelling performance as an assassin seeking refuge in a picturesque Italian village. Says here this is Clooney’s best performance and arguably his best film ever.

Men In Black (1997)
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the sci-fi comedy stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as secret government agents who regulate extraterrestrial activity on Earth. The silly premise, based on the conspiracy theory about real-life agents in black suits who, uh, regulate alien visits, would have failed in lesser hands. But  Sonnenfeld, Smith and Jones team to produce two hours of great entertainment.
