Latest Time Out worldwide features

When curating lists of the best movies available on various streaming platforms, the task is often akin to pulling a Michelin-star meal from a mountain of rotten fruit. That is to say, digging through the endless scroll of crap to find the stuff worth watching. In the case of Prime Video, it’s more a matter of skimming the cream of the crop from an almost overwhelmingly fount of options. But when it comes to movie libraries, Jeff Bezos’s posse has Netflix absolutely beat. You’ll find everything from ’60s essentials to last year’s arthouse hits, ’80s blockbusters to cult classics.  But that, of course, brings its own problems: if you’re spending hours scrolling for something to watch, it’s probably because there are almost too many good things on offer. We’re here to help, though. Below, you’ll find our picks for the 30 best movies available for free for Prime subscribers in the UK right at this moment.

This year of music has started with a bang. We’ve seen Chappell Roan go country, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco smothering audiences with gushy love songs and Playboi Carti’s rapturous return from the underground. We've even been blessed with the return of Lorde! Alongside these pop heavyweights, we’re witnessing rap superstar Doechii continue her chart domination and the breakthrough of Gen Z artists like 2hollis, Tate McRae and Kai Bosch. What songs are defining 2025? Well, we’ve searched through our playlists and extracted the best songs of the year so far, to give you a mid-year vibe check of where we are currently at. But it doesn’t stop there. Keep your eyes peeled for updates to this list throughout the year as we’re still awaiting albums from Turnstile, Miley Cyrus, Pulp, A$AP Rocky and many more. Georgia curates Time Out’s music section. If she's not blabbering about music on the website, she's doing it in-person (much to the office’s dismay).

Here at Time Out, we really believe locals know best. It’s easy to find out about a city’s biggest attractions, but if you want to really get to know somewhere, you’re going to want to know its secrets; the hidden bars, the tiny galleries, the family-run restaurants that don’t take bookings. The stuff you’ll brag to your pals about for years to come. So that’s where we come in. We have a huge network of writers based all over the world, and every one of them is obsessed with finding and trying out the latest in food and drink, culture and more in their cities. When a local has just worked on one of our city guides, that’s when it’s at its absolute freshest. And that’s what you’ll find here on this page. These guides are brand-new, fresh-off-the-press, and stuffed full of new openings in our favourite cities, all over the world. If you’re looking for holiday inspo, start here. Enjoy! 🔥 We update this list every time a local adds some brand-new hotspots to one of our travel guides, so make sure to come back for more!

Finding the best movies on Netflix is a tricky task. Every subscriber at one point or another has fallen victim to The Eternal Scroll, where just making up your mind and committing to something is so exhausting you end up watching nothing at all. Near-unlimited choice, it turns out, isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. But don’t despair: we’ve streamlined the best that Netflix currently has to offer, narrowing the field to the flicks most worth your time. Of course, picking between these films might not be easy, either. But even if you just close your eyes and toss a dart at your monitor, we guarantee you’ll land on something you won’t regret. (Please do not literally throw darts at your computer.)

June 2025 update: Hacks and The Rehearsal are the latest shows to earn a spot on our ‘best of the year’ list this week. The former sees Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder’s co-dependent star-and-assistant double act delivering another ten episodes of pass-agg magnificence, while Nathan Fielder delivers more must-see TV with his second season of The Rehearsal. We’ve all heard the phrase ‘TV’s golden age’ enough times over the past couple of decades to get wary of the hyperbole, but this year does seem to be shaping up to be a kind of mini golden age for the TV follow-up. Severance, Andor and The Last of Us all look like building on incredibly satisfying first runs with equally masterful second runs (even more masterful, in Severance’s case). The third season of The White Lotus has proved that, whether you love it or find it a touch too languorous, there’s no escaping Mike White’s transgressive privilege-in-paradise satire. Likewise for season 7 of Charlie Brooker’s dystopian-flavoured sci-fi Black Mirror. Watercooler viewing is everywhere at the moment,  and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Netflix has announced the finale of Squid Game this summer, along with the end of Stranger Things, a second run of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, and about a zillion other things. Here’s everything you need to see... so far.  RECOMMENDED: 🎥 The best movies of 2025 (so far)🔥 The 100 best movies ever made📺 The 100 greatest ever TV shows you need to binge

Space may be the final frontier, but filmmakers have been dreaming of it ever since the medium was invented. Indeed, even after humans made it there, cinema’s obsession with the universe beyond our small rock hasn’t abated.  It’s not hard to understand why. Its infinite vastness is essentially a blank canvas on which to ponder all sorts of big ideas, whether it’s mankind’s place in the void, the human desire for exploration or the simple fear of the ultimate unknown. That’s why the ‘space movie’ deserves to be considered its own genre. Yes, many science-fiction movies are set in space. But not all movies about space are necessarily science fiction. Here are our picks for the 30 best movies that travel to infinity… and in many cases, beyond.   Recommended: 👽 The 100 best science fiction movies of all-time😬 The 100 best thriller films of all-time💣 The 101 best action movies ever made🦄 The 50 best fantasy movies of all-time 

It’s often said that Tom Cruise is the last true movie star, and to this point, no one’s really challenging him for the title. Now in his sixties, he’s four decades into one of Hollywood’s most bankable names. Sure, there have been ups and downs, in his career and personal life. But every time it seems like his profile is dimming, he goes and scales a skyscraper, jumps out of a plane and saves the movie industry, and he leaps right back into the good graces of both the public and casting directors. At this point, the guy’s done it all, from big-budget popcorn flicks to intense character studies to prestige dramas and a handful of comedies, though over the last decade plus, he’s mostly become known as a death-defying action star. With the massively popular Mission: Impossible franchise seemingly wrapping up, though, Cruise seems to be entering a new phase of his career. Will he get serious about possibly taking home an elusive Oscar or look for another bridge to leap off? That remains to be seen. For now, we’ve decided to celebrate what we have seen, by ranking his 24 best roles to date.

The horror movie kicked off with Robert Eggers’ vampire smash hit Nosferatu and the fanged fraternity returned in a big way with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a Southern gothic with Michael B Jordan that sunk its teeth into the box office in a big way in April. And that’s just the start for a horror resurgence: 28 Years Later, M3GAN 2.0, The Conjuring: Last Rites, SAW XI, The Black Phone 2.0 and a new Insidious movie are all adding new shocks to smash-hit franchises. Talk To Me pair Danny and Michael Philippou return with Bring Her Back and the Jordan Peele-produced Him hits in September. This list will be updated as the frights arrive, so keep checking back to see what’s worth shelling out for.RECOMMENDED: 🎃 The 100 best horror films ever made😱 The scariest movies based on a true story 🔥 The best horror films of 2024

Halfway through 2025, Hollywood must be breathing a sigh of relief. At this point last year, the studios were scratching their heads at several major unexpected flops, and many analysts were left to wonder if the post-pandemic bounce-back of 2023 was simply an outlier. Now, with films like A Minecraft Movie, Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines and Lilo & Stitch outperforming expectations, it might be safe to say that the movies are finally, really, truly… back? Maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. But there are reasons for cinephiles to celebrate beyond the industry’s financial health, whether it’s the blockbuster success of the aforementioned Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s ambitious and wholly original horror epic, or several smaller-scale achievements, from the formal invention of Nickel Boys to the animated underdog (undercat?) story of Flow to a pair of home runs from Steven Soderbergh. And there’s plenty more to come. Here are the films that have had us cheering loudest in 2025 so far.  RECOMMENDED: 📺 The best TV and streaming shows of 2025 (so far)🔥 The best horror movies of 2025🎥 The 101 greatest films ever made

If there’s one thing all kids love – apart from candy – it’s cute animals. Any adult who needs a breather can just put on a webcam of some baby ducks at a petting zoo and be guaranteed at least a few moments of peace. But if you’re actually looking to spend some bonding time with the wee one, a movie starring a furry, scaly, sometimes smooth and wet friend will keep you both enraptured. Here, we’ve rounded up the best movies in which an animal factors heavily into the story. Some are animated, others are real. All of them are adorable, and sure to get two paws (or fins) up from the little beasts in your house.
