3 underrated movies on Prime Video you need to watch in November

Every month, new movies come to Prime Video. Others also leave the streaming service, so you might find yourself in the “get them while they’re hot” mode, desparate to watch a film before it’s no longer available. Conversely, you might not even realize a movie has been added that you have been meaning to watch.

What is it about those movies that were never on your radar to begin with, but are right up your alley now? We have lined up three underrated movies on Prime Video you need to watch in November, including a visually stunning sci-fi horror movie, a thrilling psychological thriller, and a cute rom-com.

Hollow Man (2000)

Hollow Man (2000) Official Trailer 1 - Kevin Bacon Movie

Hollow Man might not have received rave reviews when it was released more than 20 years ago. But the Kevin Bacon-led sci-fi horror movie, which spawned a direct-to-video sequel, is a special effects marvel worth seeing and one of director Paul Verhoeven’s better American movies. Bacon stars as scientist Sebastian Caine, who volunteers to be a test subject for a new serum that can purportedly make you invisible. It works wonderfully, except his peers can’t figure out how to reverse the test. Angered and frustrated, Caine goes on a killing spree.

The movie, which has a pretty killer cast that also includes Elisabeth Shue, Josh Brolin, and Kim Dickens, earned Hollow Man an Academy Award nomination for its visual effects. Sure, we may have come a long way in visual effects in the last 20 years. But for the time, Hollow Man was pretty revolutionary.

Along Came a Spider (2001)

Along Came a Spider (2001) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

Morgan Freeman and Monica Potter are a wonderful match in Along Came a Spider, a sequel to the hit 1997 movie Kiss the Girls, in which Freeman starred alongside Ashley Judd. He reprises his role as detective Alex Cross, who has now retired, but gets drawn back when the daughter of the U.S. president is kidnapped, and the abductor alerts him of his plans to replicate an infamous crime from the 1930s. Cross is paired with Secret Service agent Jezzie Flannigan (Potter) to try and locate the missing girl and her abductor.

Labeled as derivative and implausible by some critics, this is precisely what makes Along Came a Spider a perfectly mindless, yet gritty and fun neo-noir psychological thriller to sink your teeth into.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

10 Things I Hate About You -Official Trailer #1 (1999) Heath Ledger Movie

Looking for something a little lighter? Before he was the Joker (his was arguably the best portrayal of the Batman character ever), the late Heath Ledger was making his mark in the teen rom-com genre in movies like this one. 10 Things I Hate About You is a modern (1990s) version of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew about bad boy Patrick (Ledger), who goes out on a date with the antisocial Kat (Julia Stiles) in order to help his friend date her popular sister.

A classic tale of opposites attract, what begins as a forced romance turns into something more as both Patrick and Kate begin to fall for one another. Both Ledger and Stiles were praised for their performances and the script was lauded for being clever and charming. As far as predictable ‘90s rom-coms go, 10 Things I Hate About You is among the most entertaining.

3 underrated movies on Hulu you need to watch in March 2025
A woman and male dance in the rain.

Fresh off her dominance at the 2025 Oscars, Anora finally heads to Hulu on March 17. Sean Baker's romantic dramedy stars Mikey Madison as Ani, a Brooklyn sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch. The first half resembles a fever dream, while the second half becomes a nightmare. Anora is an excellent Best Picture winner and can now find an audience at home.
Anora should attract a lot of eyeballs. However, there is a wide selection of under-the-radar movies ready to be streamed with the click of a button. The underrated movies featured in March include a rom-com from a famous author, an invigorating dance film, and a steamy thriller.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
The Last Song (2010)

The Notebook gets all the credit as the Nicholas Sparks movie, and rightfully so. It's Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams — need I say more? The Last Song is middle-tier Sparks, but there's an argument that it's in the top five. Miley Cyrus stars as Ronnie Miller, an unruly 17-year-old who has never recovered from her parents' divorce three years prior.

Amazon Prime Video’s AI dubbing could placate cinephiles while angering voice actors
The Amazon Prime Video app icon on Roku.

Amazon Prime Video plans to use AI to dub foreign language shows and movies into English and Latin American Spanish. The company has begun a pilot program that uses "AI-aided" dubbing on 12 licensed movies and series, including titles such as El Cid: La Leyenda, Mi Mamá Lora, and Long Lost.

Amazon says the pilot uses a hybrid approach to dubbing "in which localization professionals collaborate with AI to ensure quality control," and made it clear that it will only use its AI-aided process on content that doesn't already have dubbing support.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in April 2025
Kevin Bacon in The Bondsman.

Amazon may have been a little late turning in its homework this month, but we're giving everything new on Amazon Prime Video in April 2025 a high grade. The selection of new movies added to the Prime Video library, including last year's Oscar contender Conclave, is impressive.

Prime Video also has a strong lineup of originals in April, including The Bondsman, a new series that features Kevin Bacon as a bounty hunter who sends demons back to Hell for Satan. Meanwhile, Viola Davis is an action president in G20, and that's not a joke. Not since Harrison Ford in Air Force One has one of our nation's fictional leaders had to step up to such a challenge largely by themselves.
