Just Go With It (2011)

Official Trailer: Just Go With it (2011)

If you’re a fan of Adam Sandler’s best movies, you’ll appreciate Just Go With It, a surprisingly good rom-com that stars the comedian and his frequent film collaborator, Jennifer Aniston. In this remake of the 1969 movie Cactus Flower, Sandler plays Dr. Daniel “Danny” Maccabee, a successful plastic surgeon who pretends to be in an unhappy marriage to woo women without having to commit to them.

There’s only one person who knows about his little trick, his office manager and assistant, Katherine (Aniston). But when he finds a woman he truly wants to be with and she discovers his fake wedding ring and believes him to be married, Danny enlists Katherine’s help to pretend to be his bitter soon-to-be-ex who conveniently gives her blessing. The plot is predictable, but the hilarious and heartwarming journey to get there make Just Go With It an instant Sandler classic.

Stream Just Go With It on Prime Video.

4 great 1974 movies you need to watch right now

A 50th birthday is a momentous occasion and marks a prodigious milestone -- halfway to a century is nothing to squawk at. It’s only fair that we respect our movies the same way, especially considering film itself is less than 150 years old. We’ve only broken the surface on what the art form can be, and much like a museum patron appreciating Renaissance greats, it’s our job as the viewer to keep the legacy of these movies alive.

Luckily for us, the movies of 1974 are not only great, but often mirror the same thoughts, paranoias, and experiences that we see in our present-day lives. While exaggerated to a point and perfectly placed within their time, here are a few films ranging from true classics to underrated gems that are celebrating the big 5-0 and are just as successful through a modern lens.

If you have to watch one Amazon Prime Video movie in May 2024, stream this one

A man points a gun in Run Lola Run.

Classic film lovers have a lot to enjoy on Amazon Prime Video in May, including some of Alfred Hitchcock's suspense thrillers like Psycho, Rear Window, and Rope. For comedy fans, there's Airplane! and Bottle Rocket, while Chocolat and Cold Mountain should warm the hearts of romance aficionados. Gattaca offers some sci-fi-adjacent drama, while Once Upon A Time In The West is the last great spaghetti western. But if you only watch one Amazon Prime Video movie in May 2024, our pick is the 1998 German thriller Run Lola Run.

Tom Tykwer wrote and directed Run Lola Run, which was considered an experimental film during its initial release. Franka Potente stars a Lola, a woman who only has 20 minutes to save the life of her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). And when fate conspires against Lola's efforts, she writes her own fate through sheer force of will. Run Lola Run is only 80 minutes long, but it moves at such a fast pace that you'll hardly notice the time. If you haven't seen Run Lola Run, these are the reasons why it's the movie to stream this month on Amazon Prime Video.
Franka Potente gives a terrific performance
