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:

Gladiator – 21st June

Ridley Scott’s historical epic, starring Russell Crowe, is as good now as it was over 15 years ago.

Sing – 21st June

This musical comedy is a charming animation packed with overwhelming positivity.

The Wolf of Wall Street – 21st June

Leonardo DiCaprio is outrageously good in this terrifying, obscene joy of a movie.

About Time – 23rd June

Richard Curtis’ deceptively serious comedy is an honest, moving piece about family.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World – 23rd June

Mature, childish and thrillingly inventive, Scott Pilgrim is awesome, surprising no one.

Shaun of the Dead – 24th June

“You’ve got red on you…”

Hot Fuzz – 25th June

Pegg, Frost and Wright’s endlessly quotable cop flick is one of the best British comedies of the last decade.

Schindler’s List – 26th June

Spielberg’s masterpiece is beautifully made, disturbing and vital cinema.

Back to the Future – 27th June

Nimbly scripted and endlessly entertaining, Back to the Future is, simply, a perfect film. Parts 2 and 3 also depart on the same day.

Bend It Like Beckham – 27th June

Gurinder Chadha’s coming-of-age comedy about a girl who rebels against her traditional family to join a football team is a modern classic, with Parminder Nagra leading an excellent young cast that includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keira Knightley.

A United Kingdom – 27th June

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

Ex Machina – 28th June

Alex Garland’s smart sci-fi thriller raises pertinent issues of gender and control.

The Place Beyond the Pines – 28th June

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

Snowpiercer – 29th June

Bong Joon-ho’s dazzling and daft dystopian satire is chillingly relevant, even years after its release.

Les Miserables – 29th June

This star-studded adaptation of the classic musical will make you cry.

Contagion – 29th June

Steven Soderbergh’s medical thriller is a gripping but harrowing watch.

Selma – 29th June

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

Jaws – 30th June

Just when you thought it was safe to start streaming the Jaws franchise…

The Fast and the Furious – 1st July

Don’t miss your chance to race through the first six films of the car racing franchise.

Killing Them Softly – 1st July

Andrew Dominik’s sharp-edged neo-noir is a scathing commentary on capitalism.

I, Robot – 1st July

Will Smith is on charismatic form in Alex Proyas’ underrated sci-fi thriller inspired by Isaac Asimov’s writing.

Layer Cake – 1st July

Intelligent, amusing and incredibly performed, Bridesmaids is simply unbeatable.

Matilda – 1st July

Danny DeVito’s Dahl adaptation of Roald Dahl’s kids’ classic crackles with the same electricity as the book.

Jan de Bont’s non-stop thrill ride is a masterclass in economy.

Martin McDonagh’s darkly funny crime thriller is warped entertainment of the highest order.
