Need an underrated Amazon Prime Video movie to watch this weekend? Try Nosferatu
Like all streaming services worth their salt, Amazon Prime Video has built an impressive library of movies worth your time. Unfortunately, picking which movie you actually want to sit down and check out is a much more difficult task. We've pulled together three underrated movies that might make your life just a little bit easier. Whether you're looking for horror or a great indie gem you've never heard of, this list should have something for you. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Igby Goes Down (2002) Decades before he won an Oscar for A Real Pain, Kieran Culkin was already showing us everything that he was capable of in Igby Goes Down. In the movie, Culkin plays a teenage boy who comes from tremendous privilege and decides to walk away from that life in search of something better. Igby Goes Down is in some ways a fairly conventional coming-of-age tale. However, Culkin embodies his character so fully that this boy feels like someone who is really trying to figure out how to fit into a world that he wasn't raised to fully belong in. It's a remarkable, moving performance. You can watch Igby Goes Down on Amazon Prime Video. Nosferatu (2024) Robert Eggers is a uniquely skilled horror director, and Nosferatu might be his most fascinating movie to date. The film tells the story of the world's oldest vampire and is set in the 1830s in the fictional country of Transylvania. Although Nosferatu has its moments of sheer terror, the most remarkable thing is the way it ultimately plays as a love story between the titular vampire and the young woman he seems fatefully entwined with. Led by a remarkably bold performance from Lily Rose-Depp, Nosferatu deserves to be remembered as one of the great vampire movies ever made. You can watch Nosferatu on Amazon Prime Video. The Children's Hour (1961) A largely forgotten drama that stars two of the biggest movie stars (Audrey Hepburn and Shirley Maclaine) in the history of Hollywood, The Children's Hour is a remarkably progressive movie, especially considering when it was made. The film follows two female best friends who run a girls' school together. After a rumor begins to spread that the two friends are having an affair with one another, the two of them lose everything, including the school they've poured their entire lives into. The brilliance of this movie is that there's some truth to the rumor at the movie's center. Plus, the movie is remarkably open about what that might mean for its characters. You can watch The Children's Hour on Amazon Prime Video.

Olivia Rodrigo performs The Cure songs with Robert Smith during Glastonbury set
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo brought out The Cure frontman Robert Smith to perform his band's songs Friday I'm In Love and Just Like Heaven during her Glastonbury Festival headline set. As the 66-year-old indie-goth star arrived on stage on Sunday night, Rodrigo said: 'Glastonbury, would you please welcome Robert Smith, give him a big welcome, come on.' Smith wore a sparkly black shirt and eye shadow, and played a black acoustic guitar as he traded vocals with Rodrigo on the two tracks. At the end of Just Like Heaven, the pair hugged, before Rodrigo said 'give it up for Robert Smith you guys', adding she was 'so honoured to play with him tonight'. The 22-year-old started her set with Obsessed from 2023's Guts album as fireworks exploded around her. The singer shouted 'Glastonbury, what a f****** party' as she performed the song bathed in purple light and wearing a white dress and black boots, playing a cherry red guitar. Towards the end of her set, the Californian singer swapped her white dress for a T-shirt which read 'you know all the words to Just Like Heaven, or do you?', along with a sparkly pair of shorts featuring the Union flag as she played Brutal. The Ballad Of A Homeschooled Girl, one of Rodrigo's best known songs, prompted pogoing from the Worthy Farm crowd, as the singer bounced around singing the song's 'it's social suicide' chorus. As she went to perform at a piano, Rodrigo said: 'How are we doing tonight Glastonbury? I don't think I've ever seen so many people in my life. 'Guys, it's the last night of the festival. Are you ready to have some fun?' She then performed another of her best known songs in Driver's Licence, as parents in the crowd lifted their children on to their shoulders. At one point in the set, Rodrigo had the majority of the crowd hoisting their phone lights above their heads and swaying from side to side. Good 4 U saw white balloons thrown into the energetic crowd, before she finished with Get Him Back! sitting on scaffolding and singing the song through a loudhailer, before shouting 'good night' as fireworks exploded around her. Earlier in the day, Sir Rod Stewart was joined by a trio of veteran superstars during a rousing performance in the tea-time legends slot. He played alongside his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Scottish singer Lulu. He was also joined by the festival's founder, Sir Michael Eavis, who was wheeled on to the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis. Hucknall, 65, was welcomed on stage for a rendition of Simply Red hit If You Don't Know Me By Now. Rolling back the years, Sir Rod then performed the Faces' 1971 hit Stay With Me while Rolling Stones star Wood, 78, played guitar. Lulu then made her entrance, wearing an all-white ensemble, to sing Hot Legs alongside Sir Rod and Wood. Bagpipes had signalled the arrival of Sir Rod, who kicked off his afternoon performance with his 1981 single, Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me). 'I'm here, enjoy yourselves ladies and gentleman please, music brings us together, we need music,' he told the crowd. The 80-year-old, who recently cancelled a series of shows while recovering from flu, wore flared trousers, a white shirt and a black jacket, before changing into a green suit. He played songs including Some Guys Have All The Luck, Forever Young, The First Cut Is The Deepest, and Maggie May, which he performed from a runway jutting out into the crowd. Ukrainian flags were shown on a screen behind Sir Rod, who said: 'There's been a lot about the Middle East recently, quite rightly so, but I want to draw your attention to Ukraine in the next song, it's called the Love Train.' The singer also sang I'd Rather Go Blind, which he first performed in the 1970s with the Faces, which he said he had learned from late Fleetwood Mac singer Christine McVie, who the song was dedicated to. During Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? Sir Rod's backing singers kicked footballs into the crowd in reference to the singer's famous Top Of The Pops appearance in 1971. Sir Rod donned a captain's hat to finish with Sailing, while his dancers wore the shirt of Celtic FC, while the back of his own shirt featured the team's name.

‘I was in a terrible alternate world': The tragic guitarist who rejuvenated Noughties indie-rock
Noel Gallagher may not have appreciated how big a compliment he was paying Babyshambles when he described the chaotic early 2000s indie band as the 'opposite of Oasis'. 'We were trying to make it big, and they are trying to make it small,' he said of a group intimately associated with the 'landfill indie' scene, and who are today mourning the death of their guitarist Patrick Walden at age 46. Babyshambles were, as Gallagher intimated, best enjoyed in pokey clubs and dingy dive bars – where you could see the whites of their blood-shot eyes and lose yourself in their hedonistic energy. But while they were regarded as the sole creative property of Pete Doherty, the troubled pied-piper of that decade's indie scene, it was Walden's dexterous and vulnerable musicianship that propelled hits such as Killamangiro and F--- Forever. He was also the member most uneasy in the spotlight, and they were never the same after he left in 2006, craving the privacy that he had to give up as a consequence of existing in the same orbit as the then outrageously famous Doherty. Centred on Camden's warren of pubs, clubs and back alleys, the London indie circuit of the post-Britpop era was awash with hard drugs, and so it was no surprise that Doherty and Walden were united by more than musical chemistry. When Doherty formed Babyshambles in 2003, having been fired from his previous band, The Libertines, due to his unhinged behaviour, his substance abuse moved up a level – and Walden was with him all the way. For instance, when the guitarist failed to show up for a Guardian interview in November 2005, it was hinted that he couldn't leave the house because he owed his drug dealers money. Walden was born in Islington, north London, in 1978. He first encountered drugs at boarding school in Surrey and started using heroin at the age of 18. In Doherty, he had a natural bedfellow – a fiercely creative spirit likewise in the throes of addiction. 'Pete is really charming, and I felt he had a romantic idea of drugs,' he would say. 'We would write songs for days on end with minimal sleep, propped up with heroin and crack. We wrote songs so easily together. Creativity was pouring out of him.' But if a mess off-stage, under the spotlight, Walden's guitar playing was visceral and propulsive. It is a testament to his talent that he so effortlessly replaced Doherty's Libertines foil and musical soul-mate, Carl Barât. If anything, Babyshambles were a more complete package than the early version of The Libertines. Doherty's sensitive vocals and his William Blake-inspired lyrics made them famous, but it was Walden's guitar that held the whole thing together. Unfortunately, not even a guitarist of his talents could compensate for Doherty's increasing unpredictability. Drugs were the unofficial theme of the group's 2005 debut, Down in Albion (which was produced by The Clash's Mick Jones) – a song called Pipedown was not a plea to lower your voice but rather a cry for help from Doherty, who rarely left the house without his crack pipe. That dependency doomed Babyshambles even as they were building momentum. A show at London's Astoria in December 2004 ended in a riot after the group failed to show following a two-hour delay. With 2am beckoning, the sell-out audience took their frustration out on the venue. 'The curtains were torn down, drinks were thrown, the drum kit was smashed and essentially the entire contents of the stage were destroyed,' an eyewitness told the NME at the time. 'The security forced the kids back to the other side of the barrier.' Six months later, they blasted themselves in the foot a second time after doing the impossible and scandalising even Oasis with their bad behaviour. Babyshambles were famously set to support the Britpop heroes on a tour across the UK, only for Doherty to become marooned in America, where he was celebrating the birthday of his then-girlfriend, Kate Moss. Having missed the opening date in Southampton, they were unceremoniously fired by the Gallaghers. However, even at the height of their notoriety (and peak of their bad behaviour), they were still an amazing live band. When I saw them play in Dublin in September 2006 – several months after Walden's departure – they put in a tight and polished performance, topped off with an unplanned cameo by The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, whom Doherty had spotted in the crowd and then called up for a song. The set ended with Killamangiro – minus Walden's guitar but with supermodel Moss popping out from the wings to sing backing vocals. Life after Babyshambles was tough for Walden, who felt he needed to get away from Doherty for the good of his health. He was persuaded to come back in 2007 on the proviso that the tour bus would be drug-free. When that proved not to be the case, he dropped out again. He struggled with addiction for years afterwards. In 2010, he was found guilty of receiving stolen goods and drug possession in Sutton in south London after a security guard spotted him acting 'suspiciously' in a pharmacy. The court heard that he suffered from depression and had developed a dependency on methadone. Later, he turned to legal highs – but, if anything, they had an even more serious impact on his mental health. 'With the new drugs, there was no line between fantasy and reality. I was in a terrible alternate world. The sky would be playing songs at me, spelling out my name. I was so petrified,' he said in 2017. As Walden fought his battles, Doherty moved to France, started a family and walked away from drugs. Having reconciled with Barât, in 2024 The Libertines put out perhaps their best album yet, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, followed this year by an acclaimed Doherty solo LP. When promoting his new projects, Doherty was asked about the possibility of a Babyshambles tour to mark the 20th anniversary of Down in Albion. He said a reunion was 'on the cards' – but with Walden's premature death, the Babyshambles story has surely reached its tragic endpoint. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
