That's how I look at it, too. I hardly watch any films on Prime as I already have them on BR (which is why I am still contemplating ditching Sky Movies), but there are a few series' I have really enjoyed, Black Sails, Vikings, Lucifer etc.

I probably save a shedload in postage charges per year as I use Amazon frequently

They don't make it easy to find stuff that's become inclusive, but they've added a couple of films worth watching: Mad Max Fury Road & Train to Busan.

Watched the first two episodes of Preacher last night, I had forgotten how good (and bat-st mental) it is!

Train to Busan is a fantastic film and well worth a watch even if you're not a zombie fan.

Preacher is getting close to being one of my all time favourite TV progs. Any programme that has somebody syphoning off petrol through a dead cop's intestines and make you laugh at the thought must be doing something right hehe

I really enjoyed 'Hell or High Water'

Modern day Western, some solid performances from Ben Foster, Chris Pine, and Jeff Bridges. 8/10 from me.

For an easy watching, amusingly smutty, yet sweet film try 'For a good time, call...'. Don't expect highbrow or demanding film making, just an easy way to spend a rainy Sunday evening. Quite girly though, but I thought it was better than Bridesmaids.

Probably best not let the kids watch it though, too many close ups of sex toys to be a PG...hehe

Train to Busan

Excellent! Certainly not the film I was expecting, wish I'd watched it sooner!

Halt and Catch Fire. Some of the instantaneous moments of genius are a bit contrived but I'm happily binging my way through it.

Also, if you don't need next day delivery, chose the "Prime No Rush delivery" and you get a £1 towards your films/TV (and I think music?). The trick is to order multiple items separately (great when do a stationery order for the office), so you get multiple £s and quite often they all turn up on the same delivery. I've got about £20 sitting on my account to use for the odd film I need to pay for smile

Have been a member since 2000 and didn't know that! hehe

I have bought Skull Island for 9.99 on Amazon, no point getting the HD version, as both SD and HD look the same with our BB connection..

Empire of the Sun has just been included on Prime. Unbelievably, it's 30 years old now and still a superb film. Christian Bale is excellent in his first role

I decided to try 'The Path' at the weekend, a drama set within a modern day cult with a solid cast (Aaron Paul & Michelle Monaghan star).

I wasn't expecting much but, ended up bingeing all of season one and am already three episodes into season 2.

Picked up a Amazon Tablet 7 2017 yesterday so decided to take it on my travels, Half way through the new season of Orange Is The New Black (Sorry Netflix content) but decided to start American Gods last night.

Watched the first 2 episodes, I usually figure out whats going out quickly but this is messing with my head at the moment.
