As the UK gradually navigates its way through an easing of lockdown restrictions, 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 modern gems before their rights expire.

This is your last chance to stream the following with Amazon Prime UK:

The Living and the Dead: Season 1 – 27th June

More than your average ghost story, BBC One’s creepy, character-driven drama starring Colin Morgan is a horror show to savour.

Creed – 28th June

A gripping, moving human drama that finds fresh weight in boxing movie conventions.

Creed II – 28th June

This brilliantly acted sequel is too rooted in the franchise’s past, but still packs a moving punch.

The Truman Show – 28th June

Jim Carrey is on career-best form in this witty, poignant satire on reality TV, as one man discovers he’s the star of a series all about his life.

Cold War (2018) – 30th June

This soulful love story set in the years after WWII is an artistic triumph for Pawel Pawlikowski.

The Conversation – 30th June

Francis Ford Coppola’s surveillance thriller, starring Gene Hackman, is a stone-cold classic.

Widows – 30th June

Steve McQueen’s character-driven heist flick grounds its genre thrills with high stakes and real heft.

Zulu – 30th June

In this fact-based classic, a group of British soldiers in South Africa defends their outpost against attack by an overwhelming force of Zulu warriors.

Clueless – 30th June

Perfectly updating Jane Austen for 1990s Beverly Hills, Clueless is an evergreen classic.

Dragon Tattoo Trilogy – 30th June

Noomi Rapace delivers an iconic performance in this trio of Swedish adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s novels.

To Catch a Thief – 30th June

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly are effortlessly charming in Hitchcock’s bright and breezy romantic caper.

Away We Go – 30th June

Short, sweet and superbly sincere, Away We Go is a big affectionate hug of a film.

Arrow: Season 1 to 5 – 1st July

Stephen Amell makes for a charismatic hero in this entertaining adaptation of the DC comics.

Broad City: Season 1 to 5 – 1st July

Created by Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer and produced by Amy Poehler, this hit American comedy follows two best friends navigating their 20s in New York City. They may be broke and flawed, but they never shy away from the absurd situations and awkward encounters the Big Apple throws at them.

Dunkirk – 1st July

This raw, stripped-down war film is a harrowing elegy to British lives lost – and a powerful portrayal of despair in the face of hope.

Jungle – 1st July

Daniel Radcliffe delivers a strong performance in this extraordinary story of survival in the Amazon.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – 5th July

Brad Pitt and David Fincher reteam for this curious drama about a man who suffers from a rare ailment that causes him to age backwards.

Starfish (2019) – 7th July

AT White’s beautiful, sad film uses apocalyptic genre tropes as an expressive tool for the isolating, dissociative processes of grief.

Tesla – 11th July

Ethan Hawke stars in the most idiosyncratic biopic since I’m Not There.

The Fugitive – 17th July

Back before action movies were complex and full of high concepts, Andrew Davis’ 90s action thriller stripped down its plot to a simple, timeless premise: an innocent man accused of murdering his wife goes on the run while trying to track down the real, one-armed killer. Harrison Ford has rarely been more charismatic.

Do the Right Thing – 18th July

Smart, funny and electrifying, Do the Right Thing remains one of Spike Lee’s finest films.

No Country for Old Men – 20th July

Brooding, unforgiving and full of portent, No Country for Old Men is a tense noir Western that grips throughout.

Pacific Rim – 22nd July

Guillermo del Toro’s entertaining robo-monster smash-up isn’t clever, but it’s certainly big.

Mean Girls – 22nd July

Because we still haven’t made fetch happen yet.
