Looking for something to watch right now? Well, I can’t help you there. But if you’re looking for something to watch in July, which is only a week away, you’ve come to the right place. Below, see all the TV shows and movies coming to Amazon Prime Video in July 2021.
Alien
Ridley Scott‘s Alien remains a classic for a reason: it’s a masterpiece. And you know what? All the sequels and prequels that came after it (we’re not counting the Alien vs. Predator movies) are worth watching, too. Are they as good as the original? No! But they’re all worthwhile in their own unique ways. Anyway, watch Alien on Amazon Prime Video July 1.
Vertigo
Vertigo was not a big hit and received mixed reviews when it was released in 1958, so much so that director Alfred Hitchcock blamed the film’s failure on the age of his star, James Stewart. But now, all these years later, Vertigo is often heralded as one of the best movies ever made, and many folks consider it to be Hitchcock’s masterpiece. So let this be a lesson to you: one day, you’ll be dead, and something you created might be finally hailed as a masterpiece. Not that you’ll care much because you’ll be worm food. Streaming July 1.
The Mask of Zorro
Remember when Hollywood made blockbusters that were funny and sexy? One of the last good examples of this is probably The Mask of Zorro, an utterly delightful take on the Zorro story starring incredibly attractive people Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Loaded with swashbuckling adventure, sex appeal, and a good sense of humor, this is more enjoyable than pretty much any blockbuster released in the 21st century so far. Streaming July 1.
Marie Antoinette
Sofia Coppola‘s unconventional biopic tells the tale of Marie Antoinette set against a New Wave soundtrack. It sounds like a gimmick, but Coppola makes it work, aided by a wonderful lead performance by Kirsten Dunst. This is streaming on Amazon starting July 1.
The Tomorrow War
I haven’t seen The Tomorrow War yet so I can’t comment on its quality. But I suppose it behooves me to mention Amazon’s big original movie for the month, a sci-fi action pic that stars Chris Pratt in action hero mode. Which makes me want to ask: Hollywood, when the hell are you going to realize Chris Pratt should be more of a comedic actor and not some tough guy? I know he’s in great shape, but you’re wasting his talents. Anyway, look for The Tomorrow War on July 2!
