At the beginning of (and throughout) every month, Amazon Prime and Amazon Instant Video add new movies and TV shows to their libraries. Some of these may also have previously been on Amazon, only to have been removed and then added back. For more comprehensive coverage of the best titles available on Amazon and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.
A period drama comes to a full stop: Downton Abbey (Season 6)
Just as the Dowager Countess might have wanted, ITV and PBS’s beloved costume drama ends with less drama, and more style. The upper class faces, once again, the threats of modernism and the decline of manners. The servants negotiate the beginnings of a new England. There are affairs and intrigues, but mostly beautiful clothes, charming witticisms, and the comfort that all will be (mostly) okay. Available June 6.
FSociety: Mr. Robot (Season 1)
A package of blistering fury at the system compressed into a TV show, the hacker drama Mr. Robot came out of nowhere to become a sensation last summer. The second season airs in July, and, from the looks of it, creator Sam Esmail has even bigger ambitions this time. So now’s the time to either catch up or brush up on the mind-bending intricacies of the first season, and get to know the force that is Rami Malek. Available June 13.
Every gun makes its own tune: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966)
Clint Eastwood stars as the Man With No Name in the third installment of Sergio Leone’s epic Western trilogy. The first two, A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, aren’t necessary for understanding this film, of course. In fact, you don’t even need to pay attention to the dialogue. Just let Ennio Morricone’s gorgeous score carry you away. Available June 1.
Some Ephron: Heartburn (1986)
Nora Ephron adapted her own semiautobiographical novel into the screenplay for this dry and witty movie, which stars Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson as mirror versions of Ephron and her second husband, Carl Bernstein. The film has its ups and downs — the characters often seem shrill and one-note — but the combination of Mike Nichols, Ephron, Streep, and Nicholson is never not fascinating. Available June 1.
Good vibrations: Love & Mercy (2014)
Both Paul Dano and John Cusack play Brian Wilson in this bifurcated biopic, which moves between the ’60s and ’80s, when Wilson is stuck under the thumb of a manipulative legal guardian (Paul Giamatti). Of the two Wilsons, Dano more fully captures his genius, but the later segment has the benefit of Elizabeth Banks, who plays the woman who helps Wilson pull his life together. Available June 4.
