Amazon’s video library is huge. It includes not only original movies and series, but also hundreds and hundreds of licensed titles. You are unlikely to be able to settle on something, but the choice that will appeal to the ladies can be appreciated with a little attention.

The Big Sick (2017, 98%)

A nuanced, culture-clash romantic comedy that recreates the real-life relationship between actor Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon, who also wrote the screenplay. Nanjiani plays herself and Emily plays Zoe Kazan.

The budding love is first threatened by a possible arranged marriage between Kumail and the woman chosen by his parents, and then by Emily’s serious illness. Kumail wants her back, but first he must overcome a feud with her parents (Ray Romano and Holly Hunter). The ending is easy to predict, but it’s worth seeing how it gets there.

Sylvie’s Love (2020, 93%)

This quality melodrama seems to have been brought back from the golden age of cinema, but times have changed, and in place of Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman came two black actors.

The story of saxophonist Robert and Sylvia, who works in her father’s record store, takes place in the hot and humid summer of 1957 in New York. When Robert works part-time in the store, they become friends. Soon the relationship turns into passion.

But their paths diverge when Sylvie pursues a career in television. Later, when they meet again, they find that their feelings are intact.

The Sound of Metal (2020, 97%)

Riz Ahmed stars in the Oscar-nominated role of Reuben, a heavy metal drummer who begins to lose his hearing. This is devastating, because Ruben’s life was created only for music. Her hearing loss knocks her down, and she begins to lose the control she had during her years of sobriety.

His friend Lou (Olivia Cooke) worries that he will fall back into addiction and enrolls him in rehab, where he tries to find a new life with the help of a local leader (also Oscar nominee Paul Racha) and members of a community group.
