This Is Me…Now: A Love Story is like nothing you’ve ever seen from Jennifer Lopez. Alongside director Dave Meyers, Jennifer has created a narrative-driven cinematic odyssey, steeped in mythological storytelling and personal healing.

Dropping in tandem with her first studio album in a decade, this genre-bending Amazon Original showcases her journey to love through her own eyes.

With fantastical costumes, breathtaking choreography, and star-studded cameos, this panorama is an introspective retrospective of Jennifer’s resilient heart.

Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the first woman President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) have a lot in common: stunning good looks, undeniable charisma, international popularity…and a total disdain for each other.

Separated by an ocean, their long-running feud hasn’t really been an issue, until a disastrous—and very public—altercation at a royal event becomes tabloid fodder driving a potential wedge in U.S.-British relations at the worst possible time. Going into damage control mode, their powerful families and respective handlers force the two rivals into a staged “truce”.

But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected.

Based on Casey McQuiston’s critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Red, White & Royal Blue marks the feature film writing and directing debut of Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López (The Inheritance).

In this film, Darcy (Jennifer Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding—just as the couple begin to get cold feet.

And if that wasn’t enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone’s lives is in danger when the entire party is taken hostage.

“’Til death do us part” takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-fuelled adventure in which Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones—if they don’t kill each other first.

Shotgun Wedding also stars Jennifer Coolidge, Lenny Kravitz and more.

A story of forbidden love and changing social conventions, My Policeman follows three young people—policeman Tom (Harry Styles), teacher Marion (Emma Corrin), and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson)—as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain.

Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett) are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past.

Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.

When proud, independent teen Noah is forced to leave her town, boyfriend and friends behind to move into the mansion of William Leister, her mother’s new rich husband, she baulks at the idea.

At the mansion, she meets Nick, her new stepbrother, and their personalities clash from the very beginning. But despite this, both begin to feel an irresistible attraction that turns into pure fire and unbridled passion.

Neither the ongoing rivalry, nor the opposition of those around them, can prevent them from falling secretly and madly in love. But Nick's turbulent present and Noah's stormy past will put to a test both their lives and their forbidden love.

Academy Award® nominees Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal star in this haunting exploration of marriage and identity set in an uncertain world.

Hen and Junior farm a secluded piece of land that has been in Junior’s family for generations, but their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger (Aaron Pierre) shows up at their door with a startling proposal. Are they willing to risk their relationship, and perhaps their personal identity, for a chance to continue survival in a new world?

Based on bestselling author Iain Reid’s novel, directed by Garth Davis (Lion) and co-written by Davis and Reid, Foe’s mesmerising imagery and persistent questions about the nature of humanity (and artificial humanity) bring the not-too-distant future to luminous life.

You know the feeling. It feels like time slows as your eyes meet a stranger’s. Then you walk past each other, neither of you looking back.

That’s what happens in this Turkish romantic comedy, but when Pelin and Engin open their eyes, they’re in the same bed…and have somehow become a married couple of two years! This must be a dream. No, a nightmare. But to wake up, they must fall in love.

This romantic comedy, starring Emma Roberts and Thomas Mann, is a tale of two strangers who believe in love but never seem to be able to find its true meaning.

In a wild twist of events, fate puts each in the other’s path one stormy New Year’s Eve, and comedy and chaos ensue.

From the bestselling novel of the same name comes this captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina.

For years, rumours of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world. But when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect.

As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.

An unlikely friendship. A lost love resurfaced. A date that might not have been a date.

The episodes in this anthology series are unique stories about the joys and tribulations of love, each inspired by real-life personal essays from the beloved New York Times column that explores relationships, love, and the human connection.

Cast includes Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, Kit Harington, Julia Garner and more.

From writer and producer Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect), Cinderella is a modern movie musical with a bold take on the classic fairy tale.

Our ambitious heroine (Camila Cabello) has big dreams, and with the help of her Fab Godmother, she perseveres to make them come true.

This easy-to-watch film has an all-star cast including Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, James Corden, Pierce Brosnan and Billy Porter.

Emma (Kayley Cuoco) and Dave (David Oyelowo) have the seemingly perfect life—two kids, suburban house, good jobs—but after seven years of marriage they find themselves in a bit of a rut.

This year, for their wedding anniversary, they’re looking to spice things up with a little role play. They plan to meet as strangers in a hotel bar, but before Dave arrives, Emma catches the eye of a mysterious older man (Bill Nighy). He recognises Emma from her secret past life as an international assassin for hire with a bounty on her head—a life Dave knows nothing about.

Now, Emma's past is roaring back into her new life and she is forced to take action to protect the family she loves.

This delightfully modern Gen Z coming-of-age story from Billy Porter follows Kelsa, a confident high school girl who is trans, as she navigates through senior year.

When her classmate Khal develops a crush on her, he musters up the courage to ask her out despite the drama he knows it would cause.

What transpires is a romance that showcases the joy, tenderness and pain of young love.
