What’s New to Stream on Amazon Prime for September 2020

Gillian Flynn has adapted a UK hit series into a language Americans can understand!
Amazon Prime September
By  · Published on September 4th, 2020

Amazon Prime Video is the only streaming service with a cost that also gets you free shipping, and that my friends is a deal. They’re in the original programming game, but their biggest offering remains the ton of films available to watch anytime for Prime members. The complete list of new titles available to stream for September 2020 on Amazon Prime this month is below, but first I’m going to shower some affection and point some eyeballs towards a few specific films. Here’s what’s new and notable!


Amazon Prime Pick of the Month for September 2020

Drug trip in Get Duked
Amazon Studios

Boyz in the Wood — or as it’s listed after a brain-numbingly stupid name change, Get Duked! — is a terrifically funny slice of comedic horror from Scotland. It technically hit Prime on August 28th, but news of its impending arrival dropped late into the month meaning it missed last month’s streaming post. But the past is past, and the present is a gift in the form of this hilarious ode to rebels, outcasts, and non-conformity. See it, and then immediately plan a trip to the Scottish Highlands.


The Author of ‘Gone Girl’ Got a Prime Account!

Chaos in Utopia
Amazon Studios

A graphic novel catches the eye of some online friends in Utopia (arrives 9/25) who soon discover it’s based more in fact than fiction. Digging into its truths, though, brings a heavy-hitting conspiracy to their doorsteps in this American adaptation of the UK hit. Gillian Flynn had originally been set to write this for HBO and director David Fincher, but it’s now found a Fincher-less home on Prime. Happily, it still looks pretty damn interesting. Speaking of Prime series, season two of The Boys drops on 9/4, and if it’s even half as good as the first season it’s must-see TV.


Two From the Billion Dollar Man!

Tyler Perry in Alex Cross
Summit Entertainment

Tyler Perry recently entered the billion dollar club according to Forbes, and to celebrate — not really, but it’s a nice coincidence — two of his films are new to Prime this month. Alex Cross (2012) casts Perry in the title role previously filled by Morgan Freeman in a case involving a serial killer and other shenanigans. It’s not good, but it’s pretty funny! Perry wrote and directed Daddy’s Little Girls (2007), and while I haven’t seen it the film stars Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union in a romantic drama, so it just might be worth a watch.


New to Me 60s Flicks!

Tuesday Weld and Roddy McDowall in Lord Love A Duck
United Artists

Prime is adding a handful of films from the 1960s this month — take that, Netflix! — and while most are ones familiar to me a couple stand out as being wholly new. Lord Love A Duck (1966) is a comedic commentary on British youth of the decade, and it stars a young Roddy McDowall and Tuesday Weld. Director George Axelrod is best known for his writing efforts including The Seven Year Itch (1955), Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), and more, but this looks promising. The White Bus (1967) looks decidedly less funny as it follows a suicidal young woman on her journey home. Lindsay Anderson (If…, 1968) directs, and its running time tops out under an hour, but it’s intriguing all the same.
