Amazon Prime members have free viewing access to the thousands of Instant Videos included in Amazon’s Prime Instant Video library, but finding the best of the best in such a huge catalog of selections can be a challenge. We try to help out here on KF on KND with our recurring Prime Screening Room feature, and now Amazon is doing a bit of curation for Prime members as well with a new Editors’ Picks’ top 20 listing.
All 20 of the selected Prime videos have an average review rating of 4.5 stars or higher, and there’s a good variety of genres there, too. Here are just a few of the films on the list:
———————–
Through A Dog’s Eyes (TV-G, 4.5/5 stars, currently FREE for Amazon Prime members to view, $2.99 to rent or $9.99 to buy)

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (R, 4.5/5 stars, currently FREE for Amazon Prime members to view, $2.99 to rent or $9.99 to buy)
Randle Patrick McMurphy is a free-spirited, small-time convict who fakes being crazy so he can get transferred from the state penitentiary to a more comfortable state mental hospital. One of Jack Nicholson’s most iconic roles.
Blazing Saddles (R, 4.5/5 stars, currently FREE for Amazon Prime members to view, $2.99 to rent or $9.99 to buy)
Once Mel Brooks’ lunatic film, many call his best, gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageousness.
To Catch A Thief (not rated, 4.5/5 stars, currently FREE for Amazon Prime members to view, $2.99 to rent or $9.99 to buy)
One of Hitchcock’s finest: Stars Cary Grant as a former thief suspected of a new series of crimes and Grace Kelly as the woman who romances him.
