  • Prime Video is one of the best perks of a Prime membership, but it has more options than you can get through before picking something to watch.
  • Below, you'll find 25 great movies already included in your Prime membership at no extra cost - all available to stream right now.

Aside from two-day shipping, the best perk of having a Prime membership is probably Prime Video, the site's free video streaming service. Without any extra cost, users can stream thousands of TV series and movies. They can rent or buy others, and subscribe to the select channels they really want instead of getting cable.

But, like all of Amazon, sometimes the effort it takes to find great movies on Prime Videos outweighs the desire to watch them. To make your next Friday night in a bit more enjoyable, I've done the legwork for you. Below, you can scroll through 25 solid options that are already included in your membership - and available to stream right now.

Browse 25 of the best movies free on Amazon Prime Video below, or search the categories for yourself here.
