Amazon’s Prime Video today (March 1, 2026) has added 53 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch (or rewatch), in my humble opinion:

Carrie (1976)
What Kind of Movie: Horror
Who’s In It: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, William Katt, John Travolta
The 1976 classic horror film stars Sissy Spacek as the high school girl who can move objects (among other things), particularly when taunted and teased by her fellow students. Directed by Brian DePalma, Carrie is a rich and pulpy satire of high school life and the difficulties some have in fitting in. Look for the young John Travolta in an amusing supporting role as one of the evil students who unwisely make Carrie their target.

Blow Out (1981)
What Kind of Movie: Thriller/Drama
Who’s In It: John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow
This haunting Brian DePalma-directed drama stars John Travolta as an accidental investigator of a presidential assassination with DePalma’s then wife, Nancy Allen, playing a clueless accessory. This is arguably DePalma’s finest work as he taps into the conspiratorial vibe that still haunted the nation in the early 80s after the political assassinations of the 1960s and the Watergate/intelligence scandals of the 1970s. Travolta is also sensational as the B movie soundman who’s seen and heard enough.

Raging Bull (1980)
What Kind of Movie: Biofilm
Who’s In It: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci
Robert De Niro delivered an Oscar-winning performance as Jake LaMotta, a raging bull inside and out of the ring. This is De Niro’s peak performance with the actor piling on 60 pounds to play LaMotta in his post-boxing years. Joe Pesci is also terrific as Jake’s sad sack brother and let us not forget director Martin Scorsese’s flawless work from the auteur chair. Great film!
