As we all welcome the move to warmer weather, Prime Video has a great lineup in May to try and keep you indoors. From underrated Steven Spielberg to empowering civil rights entries as well as warm-hearted comedies, Prime Video has something for everyone. This month’s highlights include the ’80s time-travel classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Eddie Murphy’s 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor, and Dwayne Johnson’s 2003 action-comedy The Rundown.

You mean Cigarettes & Coffee. Coffee & Cigarettes is Jim Jarmusch and is, in my opinion, far superior.
Indeed. Coffee and Cigarettes has a Tesla coil, Tom Waits, and not one but two Cate Blanchetts.
Not to mention an Alfred Molina and a Steve Coogan if you’re into that kinda thing.
At…at the same time?
Oh yeah, you bet. And get this: in the scene, they’re cousins.
I believe the plural is “Cates Blanchett”
Face the Music did pretty well and was well received. But yeah man, okay
The Rundown is a movie I have been saying “oh yeah, I’ve been meaning to see that” for like 20 years now. Maybe now is the time.
> Write “Best movies” list> Add “Howard the Duck” and “The Nutty Professor”
