One of my favorite things about Prime Video is its appreciation for classic movies. While its biggest streaming rival, Netflix, typically focuses on new originals, with even its library additions largely from the 21st century, the Amazon-owned platform often celebrates film history by adding movies to its catalog old enough to be nearing retirement age.
I track the new additions to Prime Video every month, and I’m always on the lookout for classic movies. You know, movies that have stood the ultimate test of time, and some of which are even presented in glorious black and white (very much a positive in my books). While the new additions in January 2025 aren’t as bountiful as in previous months, I’ve still managed to find a small handful of classic movies worth adding to your watchlist this week.
