3 underrated action movies on Amazon Freevee you should watch in November

There’s nothing better than a free movie, and Amazon Freevee is the best option for streaming fans who don’t want to pay a monthly fee to enjoy films from the past and the present. Much like everything on Prime Video, Freevee’s selection ranges from genuine Hollywood hits to some really bad low-budget flicks that might be better off forgotten.

Nevertheless, Freevee gives action fans plenty of options every month. Our top choices for November include one of the wildest Western action flicks from the ’80s, a chase movie, and a very enjoyable Jean-Claude Van Damme film. These are the three underrated action movies on Amazon Freevee that you should watch in November.

Young Guns (1988)

Did you know that Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez) was once a fully deputized agent of the law? Young Guns actually sticks pretty close to the real history of Billy, nee William H. Bonney, and his Regulators. When an ambitious rancher named John Tunstall (Terence Stamp) is murdered, his loyal ranch hands — Billy, Josiah Gordon “Doc” Scurlock (Kiefer Sutherland), Jose Chavez y Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips), Richard “Dick” Brewer (Charlie Sheen), “Dirty” Steve Stephens (Scream 6‘s Dermot Mulroney), and Charlie Bowdre (Casey Siemaszko) — are given the full authority to bring his killers to justice.

However, the Regulators’ brand of justice quickly gets them branded as outlaws and they face enemies on multiple sides. With no other options, Billy and his gang become a legendary band of outlaws.

Judgment Night (1993)

A night out with the guys takes a nightmarish turn for Frank Wyatt (Emilio Estevez), his brother, John (Stephen Dorff), and their friends in Judgment Night. After taking a few poorly chosen detours into one of Chicago’s worst neighborhoods, Frank, John, Mike Peterson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and Ray Cochran (Jeremy Piven) witness a local crime lord, Fallon (Denis Leary), murder Teddy (Michael DeLorenzo), a man who dared to steal from him.

Of course, Fallon can’t simply let the friends go after they saw that. He also seems to relish the opportunity to kill them. This sets up a desperate chase throughout the night as Frank and his group try to stay one step ahead of Fallon. And not even their affluence can help them get out of this mess alive.

Timecop (1994)

Universal Pictures

Out of all the movies that Jean-Claude Van Damme has ever Van Dammed, Timecop may be the most fun. It’s got all of the martial arts action that Van Damme has been known for, as well as a great premise that is neatly summed up in its one word title. Van Damme portrays Max Walker, an agent of the Time Enforcement Commission, which was created to prevent changes to history. In 2004, Walker is haunted by the murder of his wife, Melissa Walker (Mia Sara), 10 years earlier, and unaware of that incident’s connections to his current case. But soon enough, Walker is drawn back to 1994 as a conspiracy threatens to tear down the TEC from within.

Ron Silver easily has the best performance in the movie as two versions of Sen. Aaron McComb, the corrupt politician from 2004 and his slightly less evil self from 1994. He makes such a good foil for Van Damme’s Walker that it’s almost a shame that the story didn’t give them more scenes together.

3 great dramas on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in February 2025
Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors.

There are a lot of movies on Amazon Prime Video, but not all of them are great. In fact, one of Amazon's biggest weaknesses is the difficulty separating the good films from the mediocre movies. You may find yourself scrolling down for a long time — as I did — when picking out this month's choices for the three great dramas on Amazon Prime Video that you need to watch in February.
Our first choice is a wartime story based on true events, while the second is a romantic drama with a touch of sci-fi fantasy. Finally, our third pick of the month is a historical drama about a 16th-century courtesan who might be a little too smart and enlightened for her own good.

3 sci-fi movies on Hulu you need to watch in February 2025
Jessica Biel and Colin Farrell in Total Recall.

If Hulu was solely reliant on its sci-fi movies from 20th Century Studios, then there would be very few options beyond the Planet of the Apes, Predator, and Alien franchises. Fortunately, Hulu gets the best of all worlds by hosting most of the classic 20th Century Fox sci-fi flicks as well as a selection of films from other studios. And it's not a coincidence that all three of our picks for the sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in February come from Sony.

Two of these films are newly arrived in February, while the third has been around for a bit. Each of these movies is also an action movie with sci-fi elements. So while there may not be a lot of romance in these flicks, the action lover in your household should enjoy them a lot.

If you have to watch one Amazon Prime Video movie in February 2025, stream this one
Bill Murray stands and stares in Groundhog Day.

This year's Groundhog Day has already come and gone, but the 1993 comedy Groundhog Day remains our pick for the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you need to watch in February. It's not like this is a Christmas movie that immediately goes out of season after December 25th. Groundhog Day's namesake holiday is essentially irrelevant to the underlying story of the film. Who cares if there are six more weeks of winter when you're doomed to relive the same day over and over again?

Screenwriter Danny Rubin carried his concept for Groundhog Day for years, and it was originally a much darker story. Director Harold Ramis ultimately co-wrote and rewrote the final script with Rubin, resulting in a comedy with some fantasy elements that still manages to have moments of drama and pathos. It also had Bill Murray in one of his most memorable roles outside the Ghostbuster movies.
