What films can you expect from Amazon's massively successful streaming platform this month? Here are just ten of the best movies coming to Prime Video in September 2024.

'21 Grams'

(2004)

Legendary filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu crafts one of the best non-linear narratives ever conceived with 21 Grams.

Their stories converge in the most unexpected ways as they each become a vital element in helping each other cope with their personal struggles.

21 Grams is available to stream on Prime Video now.

'Army of Darkness'

(1993)

Army of Darkness breaks all the rules of a successful horror sequel, yet somehow manages to work exceptionally well. It may be the third entry of the original Evil Dead trilogy, but Army of Darkness takes a much more action-packed approach to the legendary IP and can be watched and enjoyed without watching any prior knowledge of the Evil Dead saga. Following the events of Evil Dead II, the one-handed Deadite killer Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is transported back to the Middle Ages - a time period where the charismatic supermarket employee feels entirely out of place. While he's desperate for a way back home, the only way to return to his timeline is to use the dreaded Necronomicon.

Army of Darkness is available to stream on Prime Video now.

Army of Darkness

A time-warped hero must retrieve the Necronomicon and battle an army of the undead to return home. Facing off against legions of evil, the chainsaw-armed Ash Williams leads medieval forces into battle, blending horror and slapstick comedy in this cult classic.

'Bram Stoker's Dracula'

(1992)

Of all the numerous adaptations of the classic novel, 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula is widely regarded as one of the most accurate iterations.

When he drunkenly takes on a gig from who he believes are Galaxy Quest superstars, he soon discovers that they are real-life aliens who think the dramatized events of Galaxy Quest actually happened. With the help of his fellow cast members, Nesmith embarks on an epic quest to fulfill his lifelong dreaam of being a true space explorer.

'The Big Lebowski'

(1998)

The Big Lebowski tells the ballad of The Dude (Jeff Bridges) - an easy-going drifter who just wants to find out why some guy broke into his house and peed on his rug. With the help of his friends, Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi), The Dude will not only find the answer, but he'll also become involved in a truly bizarre mystery.
