Waterworld
Waterworld
Director: Kevin ReynoldsAvailable: US
Kevin Costner stars in this sci-fi epic from the '90s, which plays out like a sea-based Mad Max. Costner's nameless Mariner travels between outposts on a flooded future Earth, trading rare dirt for supplies. He gets caught up with a woman named Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and the mysterious child in her care, Enola (Tina Majorino), who may just be the key to finding dry land. Unfortunately it's not long before they come under attack from the villainous Deacon (Dennis Hopper) and his pirates.
Waterworld was the most expensive film ever made at the time, which shows in its lavish and still impressive sets. Alas it was plagued with misfortune during production and met with only a lukewarm critical reaction on release. It's a proper old school epic, though, and one that's well worth checking out now.
Watch Waterworld.

Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers - YouTube
Watch On
Director: Nora EphronAvailable: US
Valentine's Day may be in the rear view mirror, but we're here for a good rom-com any time of the year. Sleepless in Seattle, directed by Nora Ephron, is one of the best in the genre. It stars Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin, a widowed architect who moves to Seattle. When Baldwin appears on a radio show and talks about how much he misses his partner, women around the country start to write to him. One of these is reporter Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) who reaches out to Baldwin and suggests that they meet on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day.
Sleepless in Seattle remains a moving and funny romance for when you're looking for a film that will warm your heart and soul.

Carrie
CARRIE (1976) | Official Trailer | MGM Studios - YouTube
Watch On
Director: Brian De PalmaAvailable: US
This 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's all time classic horror novel made a star out of Sissy Spacek. She plays Carrie White – a young student who is tormented at home by her ultra-religious mother Margaret (Piper Laurie), and bullied by just about everyone else at school. Meanwhile, adolescence is gradually unlocking psychic powers in Carrie, with apocalyptic results...
Several scenes from Carrie have become indelible images in modern cinema, with director Brian De Palma helming a faithful, haunting, and at times utterly terrifying adaptation of one of King's earliest novels. The 2013 remake, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, is also available on Prime Video... but let's not worry about that one too much.
Carrie is on Prime Video from March 1.
