'American Fiction'
Amazon is finally streaming one of last year's best movies! Better late than never to see Oscar nominee Jeffrey Wright at the absolute top of his game as a curmudgeonly academic who writes a book with stereotypically Black tropes as a joke and is shocked when it becomes a hit in this tremendously funny and thoughtful film.

'Atlas'
The futuristic sci-fi thriller casts Jennifer Lopez as a counterterrorism expert out to take down a robot (Simu Liu) bent on wiping out most of mankind. What's better than rom-com J.Lo? Action-hero J.Lo making friends with an AI and taking on villainous machines in mechanized armor.
Where to watch: Netflix
'The Beach Boys'
You guessed it, this documentary chronicles the musical legacy of the Beach Boys. With interviews and archival footage, the film digs into the origins behind their signature harmonies, the genius of Brian Wilson, a rivalry with The Beatles in the 1960s and the game-changing influence of their "Pet Sounds" album.
Where to watch:Disney+
'Biosphere'
Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass play best buds living in a biosphere, the last two dudes on Earth after an apocalyptic situation, when evolution throws them a curve ball. That's all you should know going into this clever character study about sexuality, masculinity and friendship, because it's got quite the twist.
Where to watch: Hulu
'The Blue Angels'
"Top Gun: Maverick" star Glen Powell and J.J. Abrams produce this documentary taking viewers behind the scenes of the Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron. The movie chronicles a year in the lives of these elite pilots, with veterans helping rookies get up to speed for a thrilling and dangerous show season.
Where to watch: Prime Video
'Dune: Part Two'
Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides gets to know love interest Chani (Zendaya) better and might even be a messiah in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel, which boasts plenty of staggering visuals, all the gigantic sandworms you’d ever want, and deep thematic exploration of power, colonialism and religion.
Where to watch: Max
'Ferrari'
Adam Driver stars in Michael Mann's drama as Italian automaker Enzo Ferrari, who enters his racing team in a dangerous event to save his empire. Come for the domestic drama – with Penelope Cruz as Ferrari's wife and Shailene Woodley as his mistress – but stay for four-wheeled scenes that show the sport's beauty and brutality.
Where to watch:Hulu
'Madame Web'
In this clunker of a "Spider-Man" spinoff, Dakota Johnson at least exudes sassy scrappiness as a suddenly psychic paramedic who has to protect a trio of potential future crimefighters. Unfortunately, everybody in this thing gets stuck in its web of nonsense, which boasts bad dialogue and rampant B-movie silliness.
Where to watch: Netflix
'The Sweet East'
For those needing a road trip – and not wanting to actually go on one – this whimsical satire centers on a high school senior (Talia Ryder) who ditches her classmates on a D.C. field trip. She sets off on a surrealist odyssey where she meets a white-supremacist professor (Simon Rex), an excitable director (Ayo Edebiri) and an A-list actor (Jacob Elordi).
Where to watch: Hulu
'Thelma the Unicorn'
The "Napoleon Dynamite" filmmakers are behind this engaging animated comedy featuring musical animals and nifty songs. Farm pony Thelma (voiced by Grammy winner Brittany Howard) becomes a viral singing sensation after she's accidentally covered in pink paint and glitter, but finds out being famous has its drawbacks.
