What’s leaving Amazon Prime Video UK in July / August 2022?
David Farnor | On 23, Jul 2022
As the UK continues to navigate its way through the Covid-19 pandemic, Amazon Prime Video’s sizeable library of movies and TV shows is a useful resource for keeping entertained indoors. But before you start bingeing through the line-up, don’t miss out on catching up with some old and new gems before their rights expire.
This is your last chance to stream the following with Amazon Prime UK:
The Magicians: Season 1 to 5 – 26th July
Harry Potter with grown-up problems, this entertaining, ambitious fantasy is an often ridiculous but absurdly realistic take on magic.
Small Soldiers – 27th July
Joe Dante’s sci-fi action flick about toy soldiers that come to life, leaving two kids (including a young Kirsten Dunst) caught in the middle of an ancient war between two plastic races is unexpectedly charming stuff.
The Shallows – 28th July
A surprisingly effective survival horror.
King Kong (2005) – 28th July
Peter Jackson’s remake of the iconic creature feature combines stunning effects and a massive scale to make a truly jaw-dropping update of a classic.
Shakespeare in Love – 30th July
Loved not wisely, but too well – this Best Picture by any other name would still be as sweet.
District 9 – 2nd August
Neil Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley shoot to stardom with this slick and compelling sci-fi.
The Hateful Eight – 2nd August
Quentin Tarantino goes all Agatha Christie with this gripping, surprising lockdown thriller.
O Brother, Where Are Thou? – 3rd August
No matter what, the Coen brothers can always be relied upon to make movies for themselves rather than anyone else. This take on Homer’s Odyssey – which sees three convicts (led by George Clooney) break out of a Depression-era Mississippi jail, only to form a barbershop triplet – is the perfect example. But O Brother, Where Art Thou? also proves that the Coen brothers’ movies never fail to entertain the rest of us too.
Kindergarten Cop – 8th August
Mr Universe turns Mr Tumble in this sweet yet bizarrely violent comedy.
Catastrophe: Season 1 to 4 – 11th August
Written by and starring Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan, this hilarious series follows Rob and Sharon, an American guy and a British woman, who get together after she falls pregnant during a brief fling while he was in the UK on business
Senna – 12th August
Pitch Perfect – 14th August
This catchy music comedy will get your sides splitting and vocal chords humming.
The Courier (2021) – 18th August
Benedict Cumberbatch is brilliant in this deliberately low-key historical spy thriller.
(500) Days of Summer – 18th August
There’s more to this anti-rom-com than its reputation suggests.
Air Force One – 18th August
“Get off my plane!|
