There’s one great tragedy that affects all movie lovers — you simply can’t watch everything.
There are so many amazing movies out there, and if you subscribe to Amazon Prime Video, you can access hundreds of them with just a few quick keystrokes.
But while the Watch With Us team can’t help you watch every great movie, we can definitely point you in the direction of some movie masterpieces.
This week, we’re highlighting three of our favorites — from a farcical comedy to a romantic fantasy to a road trip crime drama. Check out our recommendations below.
While Hulu added a lot of comedy movies in October, there just weren’t very many good ones among them. When the comedy movies’ Rotten Tomatoes scores are scarier than anything on Huluween’s horror movie lineup, then you have to find your laughs somewhere else. Thank You!

Comedic mastermind Mel Brooks takes us back to the Old West with this brilliant satire starring Cleavon Little as Bart, a chain gang worker who gets appointed as sheriff in the small frontier town of Rock Ridge when evil capitalist Hedley Lamarr (a scenery-chewing Harvey Korman) hopes to make the townspeople abandon their land. Despite the prejudices of the Rock Ridge natives, Bart teams up with local drunk sharpshooter the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) to save the day in a film that’s as clever as it is absurd.
A comedy classic, Blazing Saddles is an unforgettable film that will have you quoting it for days after each viewing. Its sharp satire and outrageous humor cemented Brooks’ reputation as one of the funniest filmmakers of all time.
Cher won an Oscar for her performance in this romantic comedy about Loretta Castorini, an Italian-American woman who accepts a practical marriage proposal from Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello), despite not being in love with him — only to fall for his estranged, hot-tempered, one-handed brother Ronny (Nicolas Cage).
An ‘80s fairy tale about love, family and magic, Moonstruck is charming, sweet and quirky. Olympia Dukakis also shines as Loretta’s wise and weary mother, Rose. With its witty dialogue and irresistible chemistry, Moonstruck captures the chaotic beauty of falling in love when you least expect it, and it asks the big question — is it better to avoid love if it means you avoid pain? Or is the pain part of what makes love worthwhile?
The ’90s were an incredible decade for film — Quentin Tarantino had changed the game with Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas became an instant classic and The Usual Suspects gave us the twist of a lifetime. Thankfully, streaming platforms offer a banquet of the best films to watch from this fantastic era of cinema, and Watch With Us is […]
Thelma and Louise might be the ultimate buddy movie, the ultimate road trip movie and the ultimate feminist revenge movie rolled into one. It follows two best friends — Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) and Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) — who embark on a road trip that goes badly wrong but leads them to embrace a chaotic freedom that neither of them has ever experienced before.
On the run from lawmen like Detective Hal Slocumb (Harvey Keitel), Louise and Thelma cut a swath of chaos across the country, refusing to cower any longer in the shadow of abusive men. With one of the most memorable endings of all time, this Ridley Scott masterpiece is simply unforgettable — a powerful story of friendship, defiance and liberation.
