If you’re someone who loves summer, one of the worst things about it is the way it can sometimes slip away. That’s why it’s important to have a plan for how you’ll use the longest days of the year. That doesn’t mean that you need to spend every moment outside, though.

If you’re looking for a break and want to have a movie ready to go, we’ve got you covered with some of the best of what Amazon Prime Video has to offer. These are three movies you should definitely check out this weekend on the service. Cube (1997) A smart, sharp sci-fi thriller that makes incredible use of a relatively small budget, Cube tells the story of a group of strangers who wake up to find themselves trapped inside a series of interconnected cubes, some of which are laced with traps.

Thanks to some remarkable set design, limited but effective use of CGI, and a smart script, Cube manages to keep you on the edge of your seat for basically its entire running time.

The movie stars Batman 2 actor Jeffrey Wright as Monk, a frustrated author who feel.
