If you've caught up on all the Oscar nominees and want to watch movies at home instead, the first of the month always brings lots of options. As is our on again off again tradition, we've freeze framed new-to-streaming options on Amazon Prime at entirely random places and shared whatever we saw there. Will you be watching / have you loved any of these films?
I think you're both a couple of tramps."
Frankie & Johnny (1991)
MICHELLE! We have you're enjoying our Michellebration of the RePfeiffal on Saturdays. You're probably anxious to get to the movie-movies and they're right around the corner. Grease 2 and Scarface will sandwich Oscar week so that's something to look forward to! I haven't seen Frankie & Johnny in FOREVER but that's a few months away in the retrospective.
Six more screengrabs of randomness starring Zac Efron, Audrey Hepburn, Susan Sarandon and more after the jump...
Is that sand on your face?
Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Okay so... I only watched 1 minute of this after freeze framing this image and it was not funny: Nazi jokes, pedophilia jokes, poop jokes, and prison rape jokes while Zac Efron held his junk on a beach and then got arrested. It made $35 million at the box office which is more than mainstream-aimed Oscar films like Florence Foster Jenkins and Hell or High Water. The earth is doomed.
Brinkley took a quiet walk through the streets of Milford, and pondered his place in the world, and the good he had done for it, and that which had been taken from him by lesser men.
Nuts! (2016)
Glenn previously reviewed this inventive documentary about a doctor who discovered he could cure impotence with goat testicles. Animation is becoming fairly common in documentaries. It beats staring at only talking heads for two hours!

Never Say Never Again (1983)
The "unofficial" Bond with Sean Connery. This is Barbara Carrera as "Fatima." But ohmygod look to the left of her out of focus by the elevator. WHY IS JAMES BOND WEARING OVERALLS?!? 007 is supposed to be a style god.
-They look really old.
-They're magic
Untamed Heart (1993)
When Marisa Tomei was briefly a leading lady post Oscar win. I remember this being sweet but I haven't seen it since 1993.
[no dialogue]
Thelma & Louise (1991)
You guys. It was so rewarding to really dig into Thelma & Louise for our 25th Anniversary Retrospective. So if you missed that, please stream the movie and read our huge 5 parter on it. (Even though Susan Sarandon has made it difficult to continue loving her, she really was spectacular-spectacular in this movie.)
-What a lovely party.
-It is now.
Sabrina (1954)
J'adore this movie. So funny and romantic and stylish. Imagine making a movie THIS GOOD as your follow up to your first and Oscar winning leading role (Roman Holiday) when people have just barely learned your name. Audrey Hepburn's rise was meteoric but so deserved. She was 25 years old.
