At the weekend …
It’s been a pretty big week on the front of “movies that were accidentally added to a great streaming service.”
On Tuesday, in the midst of the Storm Barra massacre, we brought you a complete list of eight new movies that were silently added to the Amazon Prime Video Library.
Get these here if you are interested.
But they went and did it again, just as the weekend approached.
If you are an Amazon Prime Video subscriber, choose from …
The departed
One of the most remarkable films of the last two decades, The Departed needs a little introduction but a sure look, we will give it anyway.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon face off under the shadow of Jack Nicholson’s gangster’s Oscar-winning Martin Scorsese crime epic in Boston.
A strong support cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Ray Winstone and Alec Baldwin among other celebrities.
You’ve almost certainly seen The Departed once or twice before, but few two-and-a-half-hour movies move that fast.
By the way, do not forget to do the quiz for the 15th anniversary.
