If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, you might find that you’ve already seen all the obviously great movies on Amazon Prime Video . While Prime certainly has plenty of good movies worth checking out, it can be difficult to distinguish which ones are actually worth your time from those that aren’t. That’s why we’ve done some of the hard work for you.
We’ve rounded up three underrated movies available to watch on Amazon Prime Video that you may never have heard of before, in spite of the famous people who directed and starred in them. If you’re looking for something that’s a little bit off the beaten path, then these titles are definitely a good place to start. Lenny (1974) Bob Fosse only made five movies, and Lenny may be the least well-known.
The movie tells the story of famous comedian Lenny Bruce, who was hugely innovative in his time and also ran into frequent problems with the police over censorship laws. Dustin Hoffman may not resemble Bruce much, but he does get some of the comedian’s verbal ticks down perfectly, and he’s matched by Fosse’s sharp, unconventional direction. Lenny doesn’t play like a conventional biopic, but in telling the story of Lenny Bruce, it probably makes sense for a few rules to get broken.
You can watch Lenny on Prime Video. Dances With Wolves (1990) Calling Dances With Wolves underrated given that it won Best Picture may seem like a strange call, but the movie has long been seen as the movie that Goodfel.
