The 31 best movies you can watch on Amazon's new free streaming channel, IMDb Freedive

It's the movie that showed Steven Spielberg he wasn't bulletproof. After making "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" he made this comedy (penned by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis) set in California days after the invasion of Peal Harbor, as hysteria is high that a similar attack could happen on American soil (sound hilarious, right?). With a huge cast of known stars at the time (Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, Nancy Allen, John Candy), the movie is an interesting watch at something going off the rails before your eyes.

An underappreciated gem of the early 2000s, Julie Delpy directs, writes, and stars in this dramedy starring opposite Adam Goldberg as a couple trying to rekindle their relationship in Paris. The problem is, because it's the hometown of Delpy's character, everywhere they go she runs into old boyfriends. Then there's Delpy's real-life father playing her dad in the movie, who steals every scene.

One of the best in the filmography of the late Penny Marshall, Robin Williams plays a doctor who discovers that a new drug awakens patients of his who were catatonic.

Edward Zwick's powerful look at the men who made up the first all-black volunteer company in the Civil War led to three Oscar wins, including Denzel Washington for best supporting actor.

It's fun, action-packed, and proves in the early 1990s Arnold was up to do anything because he was at the height of his fame. You need to see "Last Action Hero."

It's the movie that pretty much proved Daniel Craig could play James Bond, but it's also a pretty solid crime caper.

Five years after "Glory," Edward Zwick made this epic family drama that captures one of Brad Pitt's best performances of his career.

Kristie Alley plays a career-driven woman whose life drastically changes when she has the baby of a married man. We follow her journey through motherhood and falling for a cab driver (John Travolta). Oh, yeah, and Bruce Willis voices the point-of-view of the baby through all this. Did we forget to mention that?

It's one of those movies that's so bad it's now considered good. The movie follows a martial arts rock band as they face off against motorcycle-driving ninjas to stop them from bringing drugs into Florida. For decades the movie was only seen in bootleg form, but it was finally given a proper release in 2012 by Drafthouse Films. And now, thanks to streaming, you can watch it at home.

This David Fincher movie isn't talked about enough. Jodie Foster plays a mom who buys a new house but quickly gets unwanted visitors in the form of three burglars.

Ed Harris delivers an Oscar-nominated performance as the American painter Jackson Pollock, who despite becoming famous thanks to his unique style of painting, struggles with alcoholism throughout his life. Harris also directed the movie. Marcia Gay Harden won an Oscar playing Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner.

Doing a modern twist on the classic "Cyrano de Bergerac" play, Steve Martin plays a charismatic guy with a crush on a woman (Daryl Hannah) who finds himself in the friend zone due to his unattractive long nose.

Lola (Franka Potente) is on a quest to retrieve 100,000 Deutschmarks for her boyfriend, a bag man who will be killed if he doesn't have the money on him in 20 minutes.
