What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in May 2024

By
Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.
Amazon MGM Studios

Unlike some other streaming services in May, Amazon Prime Video is giving subscribers all of the movies that they can handle. Everything from classic Westerns like 3:10 To Yuma and comedies like Airplane! to dramas like Cold Mountain and more are arriving on May 1. Even the German thriller Run Lola Run is back on Prime Video. And if you haven’t seen it yet, you should — it’s terrific.

Prime Video is also premiering new originals in May, including Anne Hathaway’s new romantic drama The Idea of You, as well as Outer Range season 2, The GOAT, and Clarkson’s Farm. George Clooney’s period drama The Boys in The Boat is also arriving on Prime Video this month, but not until May 28.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (May 2024)
Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.

Amazon Prime Video is starting off strong in May with several new additions to its library of movies, including the premiere of the original romantic drama The Idea of You. Last year's underrated Christmas drama The Holdovers is also now streaming on Prime Video. And as far as we're concerned, a good drama is never out of season.

Prime Video lost a handful of movies at the end of April, and Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza is only sticking around through the end of the weekend. But everything else on our list of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now is still available. Just keep reading, and you can make plans to watch any of the films that you want to see this month.
