It can be a real challenge to get your parents to break from their existing movie-watching habits. Maybe they sit passively through a disappointing film on TV, or maybe they’re swayed too much by whatever popular content the algorithms show them. Luckily, our job here at agoodmovietowatch is to recommend high-quality movies that your parents won’t just have to tolerate, that are under-the-radar enough to give them a unique and hopefully more substantial viewing experience. And thanks to Amazon Prime Video’s extensive library of films—old and new, challenging and accessible—available for streaming, rent of purchase, your folks should always have something new to check out.
