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.

A young man in a tank top and a woman walking opposite directions stop to look at one another in a scene from The Idea of You.

When it comes to a good rom-com, it needs to have a few elements. It has to make you both laugh and cry.
