United Artists
If you’re someone who loves the Oscars, chances are you’re also someone who often finds them frustrating. Even the Academy’s most ardent supporters know that this august body doesn’t always get things right, and sometimes it gets them very, very wrong.
Fortunately, the Academy is not always wrong either. They’ve nominated and awarded many worthy titles over the years, and many of those titles are now available to stream on one platform or another. For this list, we’ve rounded up five of the best Oscar-winning movies that are available to stream on Amazon Prime for your viewing pleasure.
In the Heat of the Night (1967)
In the Heat of the Night (1967) | Official trailer | MGM Studios
You might think that a movie about race released in 1967 would seem dated or out of place, but In the heat of the night It’s quite the opposite. The film follows Sidney Poitier as a black Philadelphia police detective who is arrested for murder while in the Deep South. After proving that he is not the killer, he and the racist sheriff team up to find out who really committed the crime.
In doing so, they disrupt the hierarchies operating in a small Mississippi town and offer a vivid portrait of how racial prejudice had infected every aspect of life in the Deep South by the mid-1960s.
Get Out (2017)
Jordan Peele’s first feature film marked the emergence of a major new director, and his follow-ups have proven that to be the case. In case for some reason you missed it when it came out, Go out tells the story of Chris, a black man who visits his white girlfriend’s family for the weekend.
Things seem strange almost immediately, but as Chris’s visit gets stranger, he begins to suspect that not everything is as it seems in this seemingly progressive family. In addition to highlighting Peele’s unique voice as a director, Go out It also showed that Daniel Kaluuya (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) was a great talent.

The Untouchables (1987)
The Untouchables (1987) Trailer #1 | Classic Movieclips Trailers
Brian De Palma retells the story of Elliot Ness, the prohibition agent who took down Al Capone. The Untouchables It’s like an elevated version of every great “team” movie ever made. At its core, the film is about a group of men (led by a pre-yellow stone Kevin Costner) fighting against the considerable power Capone had amassed and the corruption within his own ranks to bring an egregious criminal to justice.
The most famous sequence of the film is undoubtedly the stairwell shootout that it famously references. The battleship Potemkin. Less discussed, however, is Sean Connery’s stellar work in a supporting role, for which he won an Oscar.
Women Talking (2022)
WOMEN TALKING | official preview
A brilliant act of imagination that is beautifully acted and very well written. women talking tells the story of a group of women who live in a remote religious colony and discover that the men in their community have been sexually assaulting them for years.
After making this discovery, these women are left with a stark choice on how to respond: they can leave the colony, stay and fight, or simply choose to forgive. The conversations these women have as they move toward a decision are absolutely compelling, thanks in large part to a notable cast that includes Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, and Jessie Buckley.
Witness (1985)
A brilliant film that has aged like fine wine, Witness It follows a Philadelphia detective who must temporarily take refuge in an Amish community to protect a young Amish man who witnessed a murder. The film’s triumph is due in large part to the respect it shows toward the Amish in terms of both their strong beliefs and their basic humanity.
The film is also aided by one of the best performances of Harrison Ford’s career in the title role and incredible direction by Peter Weir. Witness It may seem like a strange concept for a movie, but in the hands of Ford and Weir, it’s an all-time classic.
