New on Amazon Prime in April: 'Robocop' and a Disco Inferno
by EG
While Netflix is hoping you'll subscribe to its service to watch recent releases from Disney, Amazon Prime is offering its subscribers a treasure trove of more time-tested movie fare. New movies coming to Amazon in April will join quite a few classics that are already there, making the service the ideal place to go if you're longing for some nostalgic cinema on a quiet Saturday night.
Among the most deliciously old-school movies coming in April in RoboCop, the 1987 sci-fi thriller that very effectively combined action and camp, extreme violence and winking humor. If you haven't had enough once it's over, you can turn to RoboCop 2, which is also coming to Amazon in April.
If you need something older than Robocop, give Saturday Night Fever a try; this 1977 drama made John Travolta into a superstar and made everyone love the BeeGees for a little while.
Other notable new movies for April include Almost Famous, Mulholland Falls and Election.
Amazon will also offer one brand new original, the historical thriller The Handmaiden. This one comes from Old Boy director Park Chan-wook and debuts on April 13.
