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!

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 Prime Video, watch the trailer
Air (2023)
If you’re a big sneakerhead or a basketball fan, you’ll definitely want to watch Air.

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.

In reality, her appearance hasn’t changed, and her fearless attitude and confidence is what makes her excel.

After a storm ensues, a group of friends aboard a yacht jump onto a mysterious ship for safety.

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 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.

Backcountry (2014)
Backcountry is loosely based on a true story of a real Ontario couple that got chased by a man-eating black bear in backcountry.
It’s actually very terrifying, and it’s made me scared of doing any “real” hiking in Canada lol.
It’s terrible to say that I haven’t seen many great Canadian horror movies, but that’s the honest truth.
Backcountry is definitely one of the good Canadian horror movies though!

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!
