With two Bank Holidays on offer, May is the best month of the year for bingeing your way through your watchlist – and this month, there are all sorts of classics about to depart Amazon Prime Video that you won’t want to miss.

From horror comedy and science fiction to old-school thrillers and modern takes on Shakespeare, there’s something for everyone to catch up with – including the masterful Cloud Atlas, the charming Eagle vs. Shark, the dazzling Before Sunset and the brutal Wolf Creek.

This is your last chance to stream the following:

Cockneys Vs Zombies – 16th May

This absurdly entertaining horror comedy gives you more than enough Roy Hudd for your Bread and Honey.

Emelie – 19th May

Sarah Bolger shines in this breakthrough role as a babysitter from hell, fuelling a horror that’s supremely suspenseful and exciting all the way to its end.

Going the Distance – 20th May

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long play a couple trying to make their long-distance relationship work, following a casual fling in a bar. Geoff LaTulippe’s raunchy script delivers a deceptively mature tale of a relationship overcoming realistic obstacles, while Long and Barrymore’s chemistry feels equally genuine.

A Scanner Darkly – 20th May

Keanu Reeves stars in Richard Linklater’s visually stunning sci-fi trip, which follows a narcotics cop in Orange County, Calif., who becomes an addict when he goes under cover.

The Two Faces of January – 21st May

Oscar Isaac, Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst are on superb form in this enjoyably old-school Patricia Highsmith adaptation that plays things as cool as its hats.

Eagle vs. Shark – 23rd May

Taika Waititi’s debut is a charmingly quirky romantic comedy starring Loren Taylor and Jemaine Clement.

Source Code – 24th May

Duncan Jones’ Hithcockian thriller about a bomb on a train matches confident mainstream entertainment with indie sci-fi smarts.

Wolf Creek (2005) – 24th May

This Aussie horror about some tourists who find themselves captured and tortured by a sinister bushman is graphic, brutal, horrifying stuff.

Much Ado About Nothing – 29th May

Joss Whedon’s take on Shakespeare’s winning romantic comedy is a sparkling, bubbly affair.

Cloud Atlas – 30th May

Bewildering, beautiful and bonkers, this astonishing universe-spanning epic from The Wachowskis is one of the most underrated masterpieces of modern cinema.

Macbeth (2015) – 30th May

Haunting, dark and hypnotic, Justin Kurzel’s take on Macbeth, starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, stands shoulder to shoulder with the great adaptations of The Bard. You’ve never seen Shakespeare like this.

Training Day – 30th May

Antoine Fuqua and David Ayer’s Oscar-winning thriller stars Denzel Washington as a rogue detective who take a rookie (Ethan Hawke) under his wing for a 24-hour crash course in LA policing.

Byzantium – 30th May

Neil Jordan’s slow-burning horror is a mother-daughter drama rather than a vampire thriller – which gives it even more bite.

Before Sunset – 30th May

Nine years after they first met, Jesse and Celine reunite for the second in Richard Linklater’s masterful romantic trilogy.
