59 new movies are now streaming on Prime Video – here are 3 worth watching

At the beginning of the month, dozens of movies join the Prime Video streaming service, from decades-old classics to brand-new originals. The new releases on May 1st are enough to keep anyone busy for the entire month, but sorting through them all is draining. So, beyond resharing the full list, we decided to pick out some notable new arrivals that are worth watching before the streamer inevitably removes them in the coming months.

All The Money In The World

Based on John Pearson's 1995 book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty, All the Money in the World is a biographical crime thriller from director Ridley Scott. The cast alone should be enough to draw your attention, featuring Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, and Timothy Hutton.

Another Simple Favor

Seven years after A Simple Favor was released in theaters, director Paul Feig returns alongside stars Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively for a sequel on Prime. Set five years after the events of the original, Emily Nelson (Lively) invites Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) to her wedding in Capri, Italy, where the two are confronted with another murder mystery.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

There's obviously never a bad time to watch any of the Lord of the Rings movies, but if you only have time for one, Return of the King is hard to beat. That said, the entire trilogy is streaming on Prime Video as of May 1st, so you can also do a whole marathon.
