September is bringing a seriously stacked movie lineup to Prime Video, with a huge 98 new films landing on the streaming service this month. That’s almost double the number we usually see added, so there’s no shortage of options if you’re looking for something to watch. From acclaimed classics and cult favorites to action-packed thrillers and comedies, there’s plenty to choose from.I’ve done the digging for you and narrowed the selection down to films with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% or higher. While a critic score can’t tell you everything about a movie, hitting 90% is a strong sign that it was widely praised by reviewers and is well worth your time. With so much arriving at once, I’ve picked out some of the standout movies that deserve a spot on your watchlist.‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991)

The beginning of September means we’re officially closer to spooky season, and for me, this is the ideal time to get excited about movies perfect for fall. “The Silence of the Lambs” has always been on my list around this time of year, as it never fails to be a haunting classic. This psychological horror-thriller masterpiece, directed by Jonathan Demme, is one of only three films in Academy Award history to win all five major categories: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is assigned to interview Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and imprisoned serial killer, in the hope that he can provide clues about an active murderer known as Buffalo Bill. The killer has been kidnapping women and removing their skin, and the FBI is desperate to identify him before he strikes again. Lecter agrees to help Clarice, but only if she shares personal details about her past in return for his cryptic clues. Now she must follow his leads while racing to find Buffalo Bill and rescue his latest captive before it’s too late.Rotten Tomatoes score: 95%Stream on Prime Video now‘Carrie’ (1976)
