‘Ford v Ferrari’ (2019)
Don’t be fooled by the thrilling racing sequences in Ford v Ferrari. There’s a gripping sports bio drama underneath those scenes that made this film an Oscar nominee for Best Picture. Matt Damon and Christian Bale lead the cast as race car designer Carroll Shelby and race car driver Ken Miles, respectively.
The two men are hired to come together after Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) feels personally insulted by Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone). To get back at Ferrari, Ford wants Miles and Shelby to create a Ford racing car that’s capable of beating Ferrari’s top model at one of the most prestigious races in the world, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. But the task is hard enough to pull off without some of Ford’s executives undermining Shelby and Miles along the way.
Ford v Ferrari is streaming on Prime Video.
‘American Fiction’ (2023)
American Fiction was also a nominee for Best Picture, and Jeffrey Wright was also up for Best Actor for his performance as Dr. Thelonious “Monk” Ellison. Monk is an academic and a novelist, but his books don’t sell, and he finds himself feeling increasingly jealous of Sintara Golden (Issa Rae), a Black author who panders to stereotypes in her best-selling books.

Out of frustration, Monk writes a satirical novel that goes even farther than Sinatra’s books. To his shock and horror, Monk’s new novel is received as a massive hit. He’s even convinced to take on a pen name, Stagg R. Leigh, whom the publisher pretends is an escaped fugitive on the run from the law. Suddenly, Monk has all of the success he ever dreamed about, even as he’s unsettled about the way it happened. But this deception can only go on for so long.

‘Marty Supreme’ (2025)
Marty Supreme was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet. Although the film went home empty-handed, it was still one of the best movies released in 2025. Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a young man who dreams of being a table tennis champion in the early ’50s. Marty is also incredibly unscrupulous and willing to rob and lie just to get the chance he needs to succeed.
Marty also finds himself wrapped up in two different romantic relationships, including an actress, Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow), and his childhood friend, Rachel Mizler (Odessa A’zion), who is married to another man. Given the depths Marty is willing to go to get ahead, it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that some of those attempts backfire. Marty knows what he wants, but the price he’ll have to pay for his ambition is getting higher by the minute.
Marty Supreme is available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.
