Summer may be winding down, but Amazon’s streaming service is still cranking out the streaming hits. Prime Video‘s August 2023 programming slate offers a diverse slate of genres: sci-fi movies, comedies, romance films, dramas, stand-up specials, and a 2023 movie about an animal all loaded up on drugs.

The list of new arrivals throughout the month features quite a few noteworthy additions to the Prime Video library, including the return of Thursday Night Football, the debut of the rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, the premiere of Harlan Coben’s new series Shelter, and library titles like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Cocaine Bear, and Bones and All.

It's sad to see April end. Not only was the weather nice, but Netflix was killing it with a lot of its original programming like the thriller series Ripley with Andrew Scott, the true-life story Scoop, and the cathartic drama Baby Reindeer, which became a surprise hit late in the month.

Multiple actors as Mr. Blue, Green, Grey, & Brown discuss how to leave the subway tunnels in The Taking of Pelham 123.

Among the many frustrating things about the modern streaming landscape is that, in addition to not knowing what to watch, it's also difficult to know when you'll actually be able to see it. Although Amazon Prime Video has plenty of great movies, those movies come to the streamer and leave it seemingly at random because of complicated rights agreements that no regular person should ever care about or understand.

It can be hard to make sure you catch a great movie before it leaves, which is why you should definitely make time to watch The Taking of Pelham One Two Three before it leaves Prime Video at the end of April. The movie, which tells the story of a MTA train heist in 1970s New York, holds up remarkably well 50 years later. Here are three reasons you should check it out.
It's a perfectly paced heist movie
