Amazon vs. Netflix vs. Crave
Prime Video, Netflix, and Crave are all great for their own reasons.
I personally find that Amazon has a lot more older movies, which I really enjoy.
The Amazon Original series seem to be geared towards an older crowd, and maybe even an American audience, but some of them are good.
Netflix definitely has the best original series and more options, while Crave offers HBO, Showtime, and Hollywood blockbusters.
I’m subscribed to all three streaming services, but it all depends on your personal preference!

Bridesmaids is one of those classic comedies that never gets old.

Workaholic TV producer Ally travels back to her hometown, where she runs into her ex Sean and starts to question everything about her life.

I love that Dave Franco and Alison Brie worked as a husband-and-wife team on this movie.
They wrote the screenplay together, Dave Franco directed it, and Alison Brie stars in it!
It also stars Jay Ellis from Insecure (on Crave), Danny Pudi from Community, and Haley Joel Osment, who played the kid in The Sixth Sense.

A Taxi Driver (2017)
A down-on-his-luck taxi driver and a foreign journalist get trapped in Gwangju when they find the city under siege by student protestors and the military.
This movie is based on real events that happened in 1980, and it’s absolutely wild.

He staffs his factory with Jewish workers, and when the Nazis start doing terrifying things, he keeps his workers safe.
Schindler’s List is a powerful film by Steven Spielberg based on true events – Oskar Schindler helped to save more than 1,200 Jews during WWII.
Liam Neeson stars as Oskar Schindler, and I honestly never knew he did any popular films before Taken!

Freedom Writers (2007)
Erin Gruwell teaches a class of at-risk freshman students and decides to unite them.
It’s a beautiful movie, and it’s actually based on a true story!
I watched Freedom Writers in theatres when I was a kid and recently rewatched it again, and it’s still as great as I remembered.
Hilary Swank is absolutely magical, and Patrick Dempsey also stars in the film.

I Care a Lot (2021)
A con artist works as a legal guardian and unknowingly bilks an elderly woman with ties to the Russian mafia.
Rosamund Pike is just as unlikeable in I Care a Lot as she is in Gone Girl, but I guess that makes her a really good actress.
Peter Dinklage is also in this film!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Spencer (2021)
Spencer is a fictional take on the real story of Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ strained marriage.
I really loved the cinematography in the film, and Kirsten Stewart was incredible as Princess Diana!
Her fashion in the movie was also on point.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Air (2023)
If you’re a big sneakerhead or a basketball fan, you’ll definitely want to watch Air.
It’s based on the real story of how the iconic Air Jordan line was born: a Nike employee set out to strike a business deal with rookie Michael Jordan.
Matt Damon, Chris Tucker, and Jason Bateman all star in Air, and Ben Affleck directed the movie!

Ingrid Goes West (2017)
Obsessed with social media influencer Taylor, Ingrid goes to LA with hopes of becoming BFFs.
Ingrid Goes West is absolutely cringe-worthy and hilarious, and is definitely a fun watch in this social media age.

Apartment 407 (2016)
A pilates instructor gets lured into a photographer’s apartment, where she gets kidnapped and sold into sex slavery.
Apartment 407 is based on the experiences of Frida Farrell, who also wrote, produced, and starred in the film.
It’s a difficult and heartbreaking film to watch, but it’s powerful and it shows what’s happening right under our noses to thousands of people every single day.

Best romance movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)

He falls in love with and marries the love of his life, but problems keep coming up as he constantly drifts in and out of timelines.
There’s actually a 2022 series of the same name on Crave, though I couldn’t really get into it.

The Vow (2012)
Paige gets into a car accident that leaves her in a coma, and when she wakes up, she doesn’t recognize her husband Leo, who does everything to try to win her back.

Jurassic Park franchise (1993, 1997, 2001, & 2015)

Of course, this doesn’t go very well, and the dinosaurs go off terrorizing people.

Jungle (2017)
Jungle is based on the true story of Yossi Ghinsberg, and it tells his story of survival after he and his friends follow a strange guide into the Amazon rainforest.
It’s actually very terrifying, but it’s a miracle Ghinsberg made it out alive.
Danielle Radcliffe does an incredible job of playing the lead actor!

John Wick 2 (2017)
Retired assassin John Wick is forced to put his desire of a quiet civilian life on hold when a mafia lord shows up on his doorstep.
I’m not typically into the action genre, but John Wick is a franchise I really like!

The Lord of the Rings franchise (2001-2003)

If you don’t already know of The Hunger Games, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where teenagers compete in the televised Hunger Games.
After her little sister gets randomly drawn to participate, Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her place, and that’s where the adventure begins.
The franchise is based off of the trilogy novel series, and the third book is split into two movies, so there are 4 movies you can watch on Prime Video.
4 films available on Prime Video
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
If you haven’t seen any of the Spider-Man movies before, it’s basically about a guy who gets bitten by a spider and uses his spidey senses and powers to defeat bad guys.
Superheroes aren’t really my thing, but the original Spider-Man series starring Tobey Maguire was amazing.
Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland have both since starred as Peter Parker, and you can watch Spider-Man: No Way Home with Tom Holland on Prime Video!
The cool thing about this newest film is that they bring back villains from the previous films, and there’s also a nice surprise.
1 film available on Prime Video, watch the trailer
No Escape (2015)
Jack Dwyer moves his family to Southeast Asia, and they get caught between a political uprising and riots aimed at foreign companies.
I think No Escape was one of the first non-comedy movies I saw Owen Wilson in, and I thought he was great!

Greenland (2020)
A planet-killing comet hits earth, and the world turns to chaos as people fight for their survival.

Bullet Train (2022)
An unlucky assassin is determined to do his job peacefully after one too many gigs has gone wrong, but his latest mission puts him on a bullet train to Kyoto with other lethal assassins from around the world.

Bullet Train doesn’t have rave reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was hilarious.
It also stars a bunch of big names, including Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Logan Lerman, and Bad Bunny.
Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds both make uncredited cameos in the movie as well!

Scarface (1983)
If you’re in the mood for more classic crime dramas, you’ll definitely enjoy Scarface.
Tony Montana and his close friend Manny build a strong drug empire in Miami, and as his power grows, so does his ego and his enemies.
You might recognize the iconic “say hello to my little friend” line from the movie.
It’s also actually a remake of a movie of the same name from the 1930s!
Al Pacino also stars in this one, alongside Michelle Pfeiffer.

Best sci-fi movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
Ex Machina (2014)

Ex Machina is an amazing film, and it’s got one of the most epic endings ever.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Splice (2009)
Two scientists who specialize in creating hybrid species create a dangerous creature using human DNA.
Splice is a creepy one, and it’s a great one for sci-fi fans.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
An average woman accidentally enters the multiverse, and she fights off absurd dangers using her newfound powers.

Triangle (2009)
After a storm ensues, a group of friends aboard a yacht jump onto a mysterious ship for safety.
I watched this movie without knowing anything about it beforehand, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!
It’s a really fascinating film that’ll leave you wondering what the heck really happened.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Voyeurs (2021)
The Voyeurs is a super intense thriller about a young couple who starts spying on their neighbours across the street to the point where they become obsessed.
Sydney Sweeney and Justice Smith were both awesome and had fantastic chemistry.
I also thought it was really cool that the movie was based on Montreal!
It’s not family-friendly at all by the way, so maybe don’t watch this with your parents or your kids.
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
My Son (2021)
A divorced couple’s young son goes missing from camp, and it turns out he’s been kidnapped.
James McAvoy (young Professor X from X-Men) stars in My Son, and he’s awesome in it.

Till Death (2021)
Stuck in a stale and unhappy marriage, Emma and her controlling husband spend a romantic anniversary evening at their secluded lakehouse in the winter.
Emma wakes up to a surprise the next morning when she’s handcuffed to her dead husband, who she discovers turned it all into his own twisted game.

Best horror movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada
I’m a big horror fan, and I’ve watched tons of horror movies on Amazon Prime Video Canada (the good, the bad, and the ugly).
I’ve included some of the best ones here, but I’ve also got a separate blog post all about the best horror movies on Prime Video, with even more great films for my fellow horror fans.
Train to Busan (2016)
Train to Busan is without a doubt the best zombie horror film I have ever seen.
While Seok-woo and his daughter are aboard a train to the city of Busan, they get trapped in the middle of a zombie outbreak.
It’s absolutely terrifying, especially since the zombies actually run fast.
The film is in Korean, so you’ll have to read subtitles, but it’s absolutely worth it.
There’s also a sequel called Peninsula, but it’s a completely different story and I didn’t love it as much as the first movie.
If you like Train to Busan, you should also watch Kingdom, a Netflix series about zombies invading ancient Korea (who also run fast), and #Alive, another South Korean Netflix movie about zombies!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Get Out (2017)
Chris’ girlfriend invites him to a weekend getaway to meet her parents, and he starts to discover some disturbing things.
Get Out was absolutely mind-blowing when it first came out, and it’s definitely one of the best psychological thrillers out there.
It was written and directed by the genius Jordan Peele, who also came out with Us and Nope!
It’s crazy that Get Out was also his debut into horror – he started out as a comedian on Mad TV!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
A Quiet Place (2018)
A Quiet Place is a fantastic thriller that was so innovative and unique when it first came out, and it’s about a young family who lives in silence to avoid mysterious alien creatures that hunt by sound.
If you’ve seen Bird Box or The Silence on Netflix, it’s quite similar, but way better in my opinion!
A Quiet Place Part II is pretty much a direct continuation from the first movie, and you can watch it on Netflix.
Super cute thing: John Krasinksi (director and the dad in the movie) and Emily Blunt (the mom in the movie) are married in real life!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
Don’t Hang Up (2016)
Two pranksters have the tables turned on them when a stranger’s prank call turns into a deadly game.
Don’t Hang Up is an interesting concept, and it’s definitely a creepy watch.
If you like the Scream franchise (the first 3 movies are on Crave), you’ll definitely enjoy it!
1 film available on Amazon Prime Video, watch the trailer
The Mist (2007)
I watched The Mist when it came out with my family, and it literally haunted my dreams for months because of how scary and gory it was.
It’s about a group of people who get trapped in a supermarket when a mysterious mist engulfs a city, bringing along bloodthirsty creatures that devour anyone in their path.
It’s based on a Stephen King novella of the same name, and there’s actually a Netflix Original series based on it that’s pretty good!
