11 movies to check out on Prime Video this July

Summer is here! So to quote Maximus from Ridley Scott’s Gladiator—which is being added to Amazon Prime Video in July—“Are you not entertained?” The answer, of course, is “heck yeah,” especially when you check out Prime’s 40th-anniversary presentations of Scarface and Valley Girl which are also being added in July. Other titles coming to Prime Video in July include Best Picture Oscar winner No Country For Old Men, the acclaimed Stephen King adaptation The Shawshank Redemption, classics like Rebel Without A Cause, and M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock At The Cabin. Also on deck is the new fantasy-adventure The Portable Door starring Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill. Sure we just named eight of the 11 films on our list. But read on for the other three, because you know you can’t stand the suspense!

Gladiator (Available July 1)

Ridley Scott’s 2000 sword-and-sandal epic won the Oscar for Best Picture while Russell Crowe took home the Academy Award for Best Actor, playing General Maximus Decimus Meridius. A long-planned sequel, scheduled for release in November 2024, co-stars Connie Nielsen, who played Maximus’ former lover and the mother of Lucius in Gladiator. Keep an eye on her as you refresh your memory with a return to the Colosseum circa 180 A.D.
