The Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch on Amazon Prime Video in May

You're getting toilet paper and baker's yeast delivered to your house during the pandemic, why not get some entertainment delivered by Amazon while you're at it? Only this doesn't come in a box that you have to spray down with Lysol every time it arrives on your doorstep, your neighborhood bandits can't steal it, and you can feel a little less guilty that a warehouse worker didn't risk their life to get it to you.

Now that June is almost here, summer is just around the corner, bringing with it plenty of sweat and humidity and the sweet relief of air conditioning. And do you know what goes great with air conditioning? Watching great TV shows and movies on Hulu from the comfort of your couch. 

The streaming services are attempting to make the best of this pandemic situation. With people stuck inside and production on films and TV series seemingly on hold, for the time being, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Amazon are doing everything in their power to make sure they have content to push out to the masses.

Amazon Prime Video is providing even more options for what to watch during the summer of quarantine by adding even more shows and movies to its library. This June on Prime is all about movies, with buzzy recent movies like the blockbuster mystery comedy-thriller Knives Out (June 12), gator horror flick Crawl (June 18), and the controversial Daniel Radcliffe-led action movie Guns Akimbo (June 27) coming online, along with classics like Dirty Dancing and The Natural (June 1).  

Are you in the mood for a heartwarming family sitcom? Or maybe a goofy low-stakes reality show? What about a hilarious coming-of-age comedy? There are so many TV shows to choose from if you're looking for an instant pick-me-up. And who isn't in the market for an extra dose of joy right now? That's why TV Guide has rounded up the very best feel-good shows available to binge-watch right now!

At the end of a long day, there’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch and diving into a show with enough episodes to get you through the rest of the tiring week. While countless streaming platforms attempt to entice audiences with binge-worthy originals and classic favorites, few have as many surprising gems as Amazon Prime Video.

June is on the horizon, so it's time to start organizing your Netflix queue. Save these titles for when they release, so you have something to look forward to. Highlights on Netflix this month include the return of The Silence of the Lambs to the streaming service, Spike Lee's Vietnam heist movie Da 5 Bloods, two movies starring Edgar Ramirez, and much more. 

Summer is almost here, and chances are, your plans for the season might look a little different than you expected. If you're hoping to check out some new shows, movies, and specials this June, you're in luck. All of the major streaming services will be adding some new original and licensed titles to their libraries next month.
