QUESTION
Is Prime Video better than Netflix for older movies?
In general, Prime Video is often a better place than Netflix for finding older movies, but it is not a guaranteed rule.
Netflix tends to emphasize original programming and a rotating set of licensed titles, so its selection of classic or older films can be limited. Prime Video often has a wider mix of older movies, including titles that may be included with a subscription as well as ones available to rent or buy.
That said, the exact libraries change frequently and vary by country. Also, while Prime Video can be stronger for older films, the best option for classic cinema is often a dedicated service such as The Criterion Channel, depending on what you want and where you live.
One practical caveat: always check whether a specific movie is actually included with Prime before relying on it, since some titles on Prime Video are only available for rent or purchase.
