As the UK continues to navigate its way through the coronavirus 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:

Star Trek Beyond – 19th December

Funny, fast and fondly old-fashioned, Beyond feels more like an episode of Star Trek than a blockbuster – and it’s all the better for it.

Escape Room (2019) – 27th December

This fast-paced, puzzle-driven thriller is a fun, fiendishly executed ride.

The Place Beyond the Pines – 27th December

Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper are excellent in this quiet, thoughtful and stunning epic of fathers and sons.

A United Kingdom – 27th December

A powerful story of romance and race, A United Kingdom is a crowd-pleaser that deserves the biggest crowd possible.

Be Kind Rewind – 28th December

Jack Black and Mos Def are hugely entertaining in this amiable comedy about a man who accidentally erases a video store’s VHS tapes, leading them to try and recreate the most popular films on a low budget with their own camera.

The Shallows – 29th December

A surprisingly effective survival horror.

Selma – 29th December

David Oyelowo is unrecognisable in Ava DuVernay’s stirring, powerful biopic of Martin Luther King, Jr.

A Little Chaos – 31st December

Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet are charming in this low-key drama about Louis XIV’s gardener.

Amazing Grace – 31st December

This restored, intimate recording of Aretha Franklin from 1972 is an electrifying showcase for a music legend.

Becoming Santa (2011) – 31st December

This interesting, surprisingly sweet documentary follows a group of people attending Santa college in training to becoming Santas at shopping centres during the Christmas period. The result strips away some of the magic of the season, but also has enough heart and hope to make the whole thing magical all over again.

Testament of Youth – 31st December

This adaptation of Vera Brittain’s WWI memoir is undeniably stirring cinema.

Thor: Tales of Asgard – 31st December

Teen Thor embarks on a quest with Loki and the Warriors Three in this engaging animated adventure.

Mirai – 4th January

The Boy and the Beast’s Mamoru Hosoda delivers another breathtaking adventure in this time-hopping tale about a young boy who finds his perspective on life opened up in a magical, moving odyssey.

Magic Mike XXL – 7th January

“How much for the Cheetos and water?”

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – 15th January

The final two-part entry in The Hunger Games franchise is grippingly political and thrillingly personal.
