5 best movies coming to Amazon Prime Video this August
5. Inception
Release date: Aug. 1
Looking for a Christopher Nolan film that you may or may not understand? Inception is the film for you!
It comes to Amazon Prime on Saturday, Aug. 1, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Wantanabe, Cillian Murphy, and Micheal Caine. The film follows a thief who steals company secrets. But he isn’t stealing them in the normal way. He steals them using a dream-sharing technology and with the use of this tech, he’s told to plant ideas into people’s minds.
4. Margin Call
Release date: Aug. 1
Ready to see an insider look into an economic disaster? Who isn’t? If you are, you must check out Margin Call when it hits Amazon Prime on Saturday, Aug. 1.
The movie stars Zachary Quinto, Stanley Tucci, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Penn Badgley, and Simon Baker. The story happens over 24 hours and shows the bankers and analysts who were involved in the 2008 financial crisis. It will probably make you incredibly mad, but it’s a good inside look into the minds of the people who made it happen.
3. Four Weddings and a Funeral
Release date: Aug. 1
Ok, enough drama. Time for a rom-com! Four Weddings and a Funeral is also coming to Amazon Prime Video on Saturday, Aug 1. The movie covers five different events and the group of friends who attends them. But it mostly focuses on Charles (played by Hugh Grant) who meets Carrie (played by Andie MacDowell) at one wedding and throughout the film, discovers that he is completely in love with her. This is a classic British rom-com and is as funny as it is romantic. Hugh Grant isn’t one of the rom-com kings for nothing.
2. The Peanut Butter Falcon
Release date: Aug. 6
More in the mood for a dramedy? The Peanut Butter Falcon, starring Shia LaBeouf, Zach Gottsagen, Dakota Johnson, Bruce Dern, and John Hawkes, follows the story of Zak, a young man with Down Syndrom who runs away from his care home to go on an adventure and achieve his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. While on his journey, he meets up with Tyler who not only becomes his friend, but also his traveling companion as they make their way to a wrestling school. It comes to Amazon Prime on Monday, Aug 6.
