June is Pride Month (hooray!) and it’s also Month Two of the 2023 summer movie season (hooray?), so Prime Video is turning up the heat with a variety of features that honor Pride Month, as well as the blockbusters that have come to define summer. This month’s highlights include Air, the Ben Affleck-directed biographical sports drama about the Air Jordan basketball shoe, True Lies, starring Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ang Lee’s tragic gay romance Brokeback Mountain, and M3GAN, a future camp classic about a hostile AI-enhanced robot made to look like a little girl.

Prime Video kicks off Pride Month with Ang Lee’s 2005 romantic drama , starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as sheep herders who develop a deep emotional and physical bond while on the job. The movie won three Oscars, including Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score. Brokeback Mountain is generally regarded as the movie that broke queer cinema into the mainstream, so check it out for that and strong supporting performances by Anna Faris, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams.
