There is so much to unpack from this deliriously enjoyable film, but long story short: Swayze is the head bouncer in a rowdy (herrington) bar, in a town that appears to have no form of police service whatsoever, and is consequently run entirely to suit the whims of hilariously evil crook Brad Wesley. And the director is called Rowdy Herrington! You just cannot improve on that. Oh and it stars not only Swayze but also Sam Elliot at his absolute handsomest, meaning there is very much something for the ladies here – and, indeed, some of the gentlemen.
Road House is very 'manly' indeed and probably the greatest big-budget B movie of all time.
Sadly, it is not, but it can be bought for just £2.99. You see, another great thing about Amazon's service is that if they can't provide any given film to you as part of your Prime subscription, they will be more than happy to sell it to you, often for peanuts.
I was hoping this Patrick Swayze classic would be available to stream for free on Prime Video.
I couldn't really put together a list of movies about thoughtful men of violence without including Pacino and De Niro. Heatįor Reacher and Bond fans who are… more serious
They're all available in the UK and probably in other territories too, although there may be some variance. However there is an awful lot of butch and rugged fun to be had from Prime Video, and these are 5 of my favourites.
There's no Amazon channel specifically for manly/violent/escapist/crime/spying-related films and TV shows, as far as I know. But the fact remains that there is a wealth of great stuff on there, whether from Amazon itself, movies and TV shows licensed from other broadcasters, or from an impressive smorgasbord of 3rd-party, bolt-on 'channels', covering everything from art movies to old-time studio classics to horror. It would be ridiculous to describe anything the trillion-dollar behemoth Amazon does as some kind of plucky underdog success story, but Prime Video hasn't really received the props it deserves over the years. As a result, the service is a little underrated. You’re welcome.A lot of Amazon Prime Video users probably only use it because it comes bundled with Amazon Prime – the subscription deal that gives you free, next-day delivery of products. Side note: the lead actress, Dylan Gelula, was in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. If you have a soft-spot for a coming-of-age/high school drama, then this is for you. It’s cute and indie and hard-hitting at times. This is one of those movies that is almost too relatable? The step up from having a crush on a straight girl is having a crush on a straight girl who reciprocates, only to realise she is – yep – straight. Cocktails and popcorn, anyone? First Girl I Loved (Prime) Better still, we have watched them all and are ready to give you a rundown of the best the internet has to offer. Thankfully, with streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the playing field just opened up and there is plenty of lesbian movies out there. There is a never-ending flood of hetero movies out there, but let’s be real, who wants those? If your lesbian viewing has felt a little stale since the hype of Carol, you are not alone.
