What’s coming to Amazon Prime Video in November 2021?
What’s available on Amazon Prime Video on November 1?
Alien (1979), Alien 3 (1992), Alien Resurrection (1997), Alien Vs. Predator (2004) – It’s curious Amazon would somehow not have Aliens but throw in Alien vs. Predator of all things—but, well, there you have it. The original Ridley Scott film is a sci-fi classic while David Fincher’s third installment went to some wild places (to mixed reviews). Say what you will about Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Resurrection, it has Sigourney Weaver nailing a backwards, one-handed basketball shot.
Children Of Men (2006) – Alfonso Cuarón’s haunting apocalyptic tale of a dystopian Britain where mass infertility has created a slowly collapsing society follows Clive Owen and Clare-Hope Ashitey as Theo and Kee, thrust together on a dangerous quest to give Kee’s unborn child a chance to change the world.
Dragonball Evolution (2009) – Sometimes, we all just want a laugh. And laugh you’ll do many times at the absolute nightmare, which attempts to turn the beloved shonen anime series Dragon Ball Z into a live-action, westernized nightmare.
Eragon (2006) – Fox’s hope for a Lord of the Rings-esque powerhouse fantasy franchise immediately flopped when Eragon managed to please neither critics nor fans of Christopher Paolini’s novel series. But at least it has a truly dire Robert Carlyle villain performance in it?
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) – Wes Anderson’s charming stop-motion take on the Roald Dahl classic is still a joy to experience over a decade later, balancing its sumptuous animation with Anderson’s trademark eye for whimsy.
Predator 2 (1990) – The sequel to 1987’s Predator was directed by Stephen Hopkins, and brought back Kevin Peter Hall as the titular villain, but no one else. This one, set in Los Angeles, features the excellent Danny Glover, Ruben Blades, Gary Busey, María Conchita Alonso, and Bill Paxton.
The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008) – This “loose” remake of the 1951 classic stars Keanu Reeves. That’s it. That’s the pitch.
The Nutty Professor (1996) – Relive Eddie Murphy’s make-up-induced manic performance as approximately half the cast of this zany twist on the ‘60s comedy classic in which a diet serum gone wrong turns into a Jekyll-and-Hyde-ian battle for a kind-hearted professor’s soul.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) – Robert Zemeckis’ unforgettable noir story that was also aimed at kids features brand crossovers the likes of which the world had never seen. It probably wouldn’t be made today, but that’s fine, this is all you need. Check out our oral history here.

The Wheel of Time – Amazon Original Series: Season 1 – It seems the world has been waiting eons for an adaptation of Robert Jordan’s fantasy series. Will it be worth the wait? We’ll find out soon when Rosamund Pike takes the stage as Moiraine.

Hanna – Amazon Original Series: Season 3 – If you’ve not yet picked up this TV spinoff of the Joe Wright film, you’ve missed out on some wild adventures. This one stars Esme Creed-Miles and Mireille Enos and last season saw an entire school of assassins just like the titular Hanna being groomed for worldwide work. There’s also an evil pharmaceutical company lurking in the background with creepy medical implants and drugs being given to the trainees.
