The Boys are back in town or, at least they’re on Amazon Prime starting June 3. But what about movies for the streamer? For June, Amazon Prime has a nice collection of female-driven films as well as some so-bad-they’re-kind-of-great ’80s and ’90s films.

I’ve always wanted to see Burnt Offerings. Bette. Eileen. Burgess. Love them all.
I’ve never even heard of it before. Somehow. But yeah I’m game.
It’s too bad the movie isn’t anywhere near as thrilling as the trailer. It’s very slow moving. Watching these actors, sipping tea, is always worth the time. However, it comes across as a ‘TV movie of the week’ of it’s time. I think if it was remade today, someone could do a much scary and interesting take.
It always cracks me up when they do these lazy clickbait lists then quote negative reviews in them
Just because they are “the best” doesn’t mean they are “good!”
Lady Bird might be the biggest piece of overrated hipster bullshit I’ve ever seen. Just goes to show that you can throw that undernourished baby bird Timothee Chalamet in damn near anything, and people will eat it up like soylent green.
Timothee Chalamet looks like an 18th century prince who’s dying of both tuberculosis and the haemophilia his mother-sister and uncle-father left him with when they mixed their seed when they realised they needed an heir.
Timothee Chalamet looks like a failed Abercrombie & Fitch fall marketing campaign.
Timothee Chalamet looks like a teenage girl spent three hours trying to recreate Robert Pattinson in the Skyrim character creator.
Timothee Chalamet looks like the poster child of the European branch of NAMBLA.
Beg your pardon?
I said LADY BIRD MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST PIECE OF OVERRATED HIPSTER BULLSHIT I’VE EVER SEEN. JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU CAN THROW THAT UNDERNOURISHED BABY BIRD TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IN DAMN NEAR ANYTHING, AND PEOPLE WILL EAT IT UP LIKE SOYLENT GREEN..
I’m willing to accept a broad definition for “best”, but several of these movies (looking at you, Vampire in Brooklyn and Space Jam) are fucking terrible. And despite what the article says, Vampire in Brooklyn isn’t bad in a fun or entertaining way.
At least half of these movies are straight-up terrible. Seriously, WTF?2 Days in the Valley is pure, derivative garbage. Just awful.
As for some of the other offerings? Vampire in Brooklyn? Nacho Libre? Also total dreck. Sheesh.
“Gawd Dammit!”
Nacho Libre is a comedy classic that has aged far better than Napoleon Dynamite, in my opinion.
I know the workaround but “some things happening on Amazon” really doesn’t require a slideshow.
Huh, for some reason I always assumed Jared and Jarusha Hess were siblings, not spouses.
Can someone explain why a list of “the 15 best films hitting Amazon Prime in June” has so many with mediocre reviews? Has Trump really sent us back to 1984, where best is worst?
“Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man” is an objectively terrible movie that I watch once every 18 months or so and always kind of enjoy.
“Double Jeopardy” is a ridiculous piece of trash that does not understand the title concept or, as far as I can tell, any aspect of the American justice system.
But Ashley Judd gets naked
All Crap
