Not movies but,

Battlestar BSG redo
Sneaky Pete

Lots of great TV shows on Prime too.

Sons of Anarchy
24 (all seasons)
The Wire (pretty sure I watched it on Prime, but may have been FiOS)
American Horror Story (first 6 seasons last time I watched them, not sure if 7th has been added)

Jack's Apocalypse is heavily based on Alas Babylon, but with a twist at the end.  This version of the main character is a good deal more messed up than Randy in the book, and the movie is half SHTF problem solving/half painful detoxing.  It's an independent medium-low budget flick, but with just enough money apparent on screen, good acting and writing.  No firearms politics, guns are neutral.  His brother's wife/probable widow is a good looking woman.

Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and the first two seasons of The Expanse, The Dukes of Hazzard are all up.  Bosch, man In the high Castle, Parks and Recreation, 3rd Rock From The Sun (funniest sitcom ever)

I liked The Dawns Here Are Quiet, Russian WWII miniseries about a female crewed anti-aircraft battery on the backside of nowhere that runs into a German commando raid.

Rememory, good psychological mystery/sci fi movie with Peter Dinklage and Anton Yelchin.  Like a long Black Mirror episode.

The original, badass 1974 Gone In 60 Seconds

The Director's Cut of Troy with my favorite duel scene ever, Achilles vs. Hector

Spaceballs, enough said.

Bound, one of the sexier movies ever (Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon)

Could I interest you in a naughty nuns comedy set in 1300's Italy staring Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza?  The Little Hours  Most of the nudity falls on Kate Micucci, but still.

The Conversation with Gene Hackman as a private surveillance wizard who stumbles across a murder plot.  Had a bunch of bleeding edge 1973 tech and Teri Garr naked.

The Butcher of Prague, story of the sole adult male survivor of the massacre of Lidice following Heydrich's assassination (he was in prison for murder)

The Eagle Has Landed, Micheal Caine and his hell raising German commando company infiltrate a small English town to assassinate Churchill

Brawl in Cell Block 99, Vince Vaughn, cartels, ultra-violence.

That scene where he had to use his weak hand to draw a perfect circle on the overhead projector had me rolling.  Also the look on his face when he had to push the other engineer, again.

Weird show - depressing, hilarious, depressing, hilarious, and on and on.

I love that series. I actually watched it twice because the first time I was only halfway paying attention. So much subtle humor. The main character's portrayal of someone who gives zero fucks, doesn't want to be involved in any of this shit, but just does whatever he has to without hesitation, is fantastic. The look on his face with the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu guys trying to choke him out is epic.

"I heard you bragging about combing your own hair today Stephen."

I'm watching The Sopranos finally. I'd only seen a few episodes here and there.

One of my favorite parts, as well.

Also loved when he just casually picks up the pallet and smashes it on the security guard's back at the airport.

Sneaky Pete was great, the pilot was really good but I was afraid they'd fall into the "scheme of the week" trap that a lot of TV shows in a similar genre do, but then when the full season came out they did a really good job of totally not doing that.

Plus it's pretty cool to see some Justified alumni together in the same series again.

I thought it was awesome, at least in part, because it was crap. It's not really straight up sci-fi, it's space opera which is a subtle but important distinction. Space opera is supposed to be over the top and kinda weird.

Gotta remember that the original comics started coming out before Star Wars (also space opera) and it seemed like Lucas was not only familiar with the visual style but copied the whole "How to Write Space Opera Dialogue" bits. Same thing with Flash Gordon, The Fifth Element, and even Guardians of the Galaxy if you look at it as its own thing and not part of the overall Marvel universe.

ETA: Oh and Jupiter Rising, which I also thought was a lot better than most people gave it credit for.
