10 best movies to watch on Prime Video in April 2025.
Prime Video by Amazon is among various streaming platforms offering a plethora of entertaining movies for viewers.
However, there are plenty of movies at its disposal, and even though there are some categories for viewers to decide what to watch, there is still a constant dilemma regarding what is new and what is classic cinema that does not deserve to be missed by film enthusiasts.
There are several movies, from Oscar-winning Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer with Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon to urban classic movies like Knives Out with Daniel Craig as the lead on Prime Video, to watch the audience.
Challengers, The Birdcage, The Bikeriders, and seven other movies to watch on Prime Video in April 2025
1) The Birdcage
Sometimes, when love favors two people, other odds come in the way of their union. This happened with Val Goldman (portrayed by Dan Futterman) and Barbara Keeley (portrayed by Calista Flockhart). They fall in love with each other, but they are too young and are still finishing college.
Another obstacle is Barbara's conservative parents' ideology, while Val's parents are drag performers. Now, Barbara's parents need to meet Val, and he convinces his parents to act normal and hide their identity in the closet when her parents come to meet them.
It's a classic comedy with various complex plots executed brilliantly. Barbara and Val's efforts to get their parents to like each other cause confusion and chaos. Nonetheless, the film is exciting and engaging. The bonus is that Robin Williams plays Val's father.
The film on Prime Video is one of the most intriguing love stories with a twist.
2) Oppenheimer
One part of the 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon of 2023, Oppenheimer, happens to be a breakthrough in the entertainment industry, making it fully deserving of the seven Oscars it received and the $1 billion it made at the box office.
Christopher Nolan uses traditional biographical narratives to tell the story of how J. Robert Oppenheimer (portrayed by Cillian Murphy) created the atomic bomb.
The storyline reflected Oppenheimer's journey from his student life in Cambridge to his involvement in the Manhattan Project and later as an advocate against nuclear warfare. The transition of his actions led to severe regret for developing a weapon that created history in a way that no one imagined.
This movie is one of the most anticipated movies to come on Prime Video, and Murphy and Nolan fans can revisit the magic of this film.
