Amazon Prime Video added three new movies last week. Below that are two real top films, supplemented with something new for children.
Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Writer and director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Hunt for the Wilderpeople) brings his signature style of humor and endearingness to his latest film, Jojo Rabbit, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as JoJo) whose worldview is turned upside down when he finds out that his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. With only his idiotic and imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi) by his side, Jojo has to face his blind spot of nationalism.Schindler’s List (1993)
Director: Steven Spielberg | Cast: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall

Black Book (2006)
Director: Paul Verhoeven | Cast: Carice van Houten, Sebastian Koch, Thom Hoffman, Halina Reijn
When the hiding place of the beautiful Jewish singer Rachel Steinn is accidentally bombed, she decides to cross the Biesbosch with a group of Jews to an already liberated area. However, the boat encounters a German patrol and all refugees are brutally slaughtered. Only Rachel manages to escape. She joins the resistance and, as Ellis de Vries, manages to get along with the high German SD officer Müntze. He is very charmed by her and offers her a job. Meanwhile, the resistance has planned to free a group of imprisoned resistance fighters with the help of Ellis. This fails miserably because it has been betrayed.

Liberation does not bring freedom to Ellis; not even when she manages to expose the real traitor …
