Amazon’s Prime Video plans to remove 39 movies after May 31, 2025. Here are the four you should watch before they leave, in my humble opinion.

Out of Sight (1988)
Out of Sight, the 1998 comedy/drama from director Steven Soderbergh which stars George Clooney as a bank robber who’s tracked (and, uh, pursued) by a federal agent played wonderfully by Jennifer Lopez. The great cast also includes Michael Keaton, Albert Brooks, Don Cheadle, Ving Rhames, Nancy Allen, Samuel L. Jackson…and too many more wonderful folks to name here. Watch this movie. It’s classic Soderbergh.

Lost in Translation (2003)
Lost in Translation is a hidden gem from director Sofia Coppola (Priscilla) who captures the human need for connection through the weary eyes of an over-the-hill TV actor (Bill Murray) and a beautiful ingenue (Scarlett Johansson). Set in the over-crowded but still isolating city of Tokyo, the film’s delicate exploration of cross-cultural encounters, coupled with Murray and Johansson’s on-screen chemistry, evokes an indelible and bittersweet emotional resonance. Beautiful, charming movie.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)
And speaking of sensational directorial debuts, Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs announced to the world that a new cinematic genius had been born. Reservoir Dogs is ostensibly a bank robbery picture, but Tarantino’s collection of misfits (Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, Michael Madsen) represent a unique stew of wry cultural observations, misguided loyalty, and strict adherence to the criminal code. And that makes Reservoir Dogs unlike any bank robbery picture you’ve ever seen.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
The 1998 cult comedy from the Coen Bros. features an iconic Los Angeles slacker (Jeff Bridges) named ‘The Dude’ who accidentally becomes the focus of a murder investigation.  Only Joel and Ethan Coen could take this farfetched plot and turn it into a cultural mainstay and masterpiece that resonates with multiple generations. The flawless supporting cast includes John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Huddleston, Julianne Moore, and John Turturro as Jesus, a bowler with a strange fetish for his ball.
