As the summer heats up, Amazon’s Prime Video offers a host of new shows to keep you indoors, from a new season of Clarkson’s Farm to a documentary on the pockets of good news in conservation efforts around the globe narrated by Demi Moore, 63, and Woody Harrelson, 64. Here are the 11 top movies and series to add to your Prime Video watchlist.
Coming June 1
12 Angry Men (1957, NR)
The granddaddy of courtroom dramas — set in the un-air-conditioned jury room of a big-city criminal trial — still holds up as an expertly crafted story that extols the virtues of the American legal system (despite the anachronism of an all-male jury). Henry Fonda is the model of decency and decorum, nudging his fellow jurors to do the right thing even as tempers flare.
Paths of Glory (1957, NR)
Stanley Kubrick’s grim and divisive anti-war movie — produced seven years before his Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove — stars Kirk Douglas as a French colonel in World War I who defends his troops in a court-martial trial after they refuse a suicide mission ordered by commanders.
Coming June 3
Clarkson’s Farm, Season 5
Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, 66, faces new challenges maintaining his 1,000-acre farm in West Oxfordshire, England. First, there are cuts in the U.K.’s agricultural budget that have riled up the nation’s farming community. Then there are the efforts to introduce new technology to the operations at Diddly Squat, which send Kaleb abroad on his first trip outside the country.
The Legend of Vox Machina, Season 4
The acclaimed animated fantasy series for grownups returns with the band of misfits known as Vox Machina divided and pursuing their own agendas. But when a long-dormant evil resurfaces to threaten the world of Exandria, the gang agree to bury their internal parental issues and inflict enormous amounts of property damage. The series, based on the first campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role, is expected to wind up with the already-in-the-works fifth season.
