I will cancel my Max subscription in November to watch these five movies on Prime Video.

This month, Prime Video takes the cinematic spotlight, while Max focuses more on television series.

This month has been busy for major streaming services as the season begins when people prefer to stay home and enjoy online content. Both Prime Video and Max have added a significant number of new titles, but if you’re saving for Black Friday deals and the holidays, subscribing to all platforms may not be feasible.

In particular, Prime Video has had a month filled with movies, featuring over 200 new titles, while Max has had a more series-focused offering with just a little more than two dozen new films. Among the standout works on Prime Video are titles like Goodfellas, Elf, Unforgiven, and three from the Jurassic Park saga, positioning it as the most attractive option for those seeking quality cinema.

Below are five Prime Video movies that justify this month's subscription.

Carrie (available now)
This film, considered one of the best in the horror genre, is based on a book by Stephen King and directed by Brian De Palma. Sissy Spacek's performance is memorable in this revenge story of a tormented young woman. While there is a 2013 remake, the original 1976 version is highly regarded, with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Good Will Hunting (available now)
Starring Matt Damon and Robin Williams, this film tells the story of a young prodigy who receives guidance from a professor. The performances are remarkable, especially Williams', who brings emotional depth to his role. Critics highlight the script, direction, and its balanced tone between comedy and deep sadness.

Jacob's Ladder (available now)
This 1990 film is a psychological horror that follows a veteran played by Tim Robbins, who experiences unsettling visions after returning home. Described as "cerebral, emotional, and terrifying," it is a work that leaves a lasting impression on the viewer, complicating its narrative until the shocking conclusion.

The LEGO Movie (available now)
Far from being a simple sequel to a commercial product, The LEGO Movie is recognized for its wit and humor. As both a satire of action movies and a notable work in its own right, it has been acclaimed for its creativity and visual presentation, rising as an instant classic in the animation genre.

Coraline (available starting November 24)
An adaptation of Neil Gaiman's story, this acclaimed stop-motion film offers a visually stunning and, at the same time, terrifying experience. The work has been praised for its ability to engage both children and adults, achieving a narrative that combines both beauty and horror.
