That’s a tough one. I have both.
If you want a specific movie, Amazon has more.
But unless it is fairly recent, you’ll still have to buy it a la carte usually.
I have to say that YouTube is getting some good documentaries lately. I’ve stopped my “Curiosity Stream” and “Great Courses” as there are so many good ones on YouTube.
Just saying...
I prefer Netflix, but I can’t get it in Indonesia. I have tried a VPN but Netflix balks at that.
So, I say, go with Amazon Prime.
I prefer Amazon Prime. I just canceled my Netflix. It depends on what you like to watch.
Stream them via WIFI on a smart TV for 10 bucks a month
Back when Netflix was mailing movies to the customers the catalog was much larger. There were older films, obscure hard to find movies etc... now the selections are diminished. I find myself buying used to get those classics I enjoy.
I have both, and in my opinion Netflix is better. More options to watch, a friendlier interface on my tv screen, and the option to have hard copy dvds sent if the program won’t stream.
the one option Amazon has is the option to purchase the digital copy. I have used that a few times for shows/movies I want to own.
But if I had to choose one or the other, I’d go Netflix.
I have amazon prime because I bought that “two day shipping” thing and the movies were included. I didn’t go out looking for amazon’s streaming service.
Never had netflix but Amazon prime has tons of choice. Most movies today leave me cold, but there are some good ones.
I've been a subscriber of both Netflix and Amazon Prime for several years.
I recommend Amazon Prime for movies.
The movies on Netflix are 99.999% B movies that you've never heard of.
If it weren't for the Netflix produced shows exclusive to Netflix (House of Cards, Daredevil, Stranger Things), I would cancel my subscription.
Amazon Prime has a LOT of newer major release Hollywood movies that are free for subscribers. Plus, you get the other perks of Amazon Prime membership such as reduced price for items and free shipping.
I recommend Amazon Prime.
Bkmrk.
Amazon Prime has almost nothing compared to Netflix. Pointless. I never find myself watching.
Hulu has a user interface that is more than frustrating. Its maddeningly counter intuitive and inconvenient. I cancelled my free trial of Hulu.
For British TV which is some of the best, Acorn is excellent.
None of the above, but we do have Netflix.
Now who has the best movies, not considering Netflix or Amazon?
It’s Turner Classic for cable and Classic Reel for streaming.
Just about any modern movie or TV rerun is laced with leftism on the order of homosexuality, anti-gun ideology, feminism to name a few. Add to that wall to wall gory bloody violence, foul language, excess special effects, nudity and sex and modern TV just is not suitable for us.
We quit mainstream TV about 4 years ago and stream only. If we want we can get news propaganda via our TV antennae.
Netflix used to be superior in its selection, but when their deal with CW (inc. Warner Bros.) expired in early 2016, their inventory was drastically curtailed. One day, I went to my Netflix queue and more than half of my selections were no longer available.
Since I already had Amazon Prime (I live in a rural location and mail order lots of items), I just dropped Netflix.
Maybe Netflix has renewed their deal with CW, don’t know - but I’m happy enough with Amazon Prime.
For more recent releases and some that Amazon doesn’t carry, I just do pay per view through Vudu.
The Netflix interface was superior to Amazon. Quite often with Amazon, the streaming is not high quality (even though it’s supposed to be HD). I never had that problem with Netflix.
Often, I opt for slow Amazon delivery to receive credit toward digital items. This adds up, so I can get episodes of series like House of Cards for free.
I have both, and Amazon seems to offer more, but you can find rarer films on Netflix if you search. I did notice yesterday that obscure 1930’s films I’d marked to watch on Amazon are now no longer available.
I also like Amazon Prime for all it offers.
Anyway, between Roku with Sling TV and a bunch of these channels, who needs cable?
I find that that is simply a comparison of the relative suckage of each. But I would have to say that Amazon sucks slightly less than Notflix. Net Felix is the mold standard, the absolute zero of movie streaming services. I don’t know where they dig up some of that crap.
And whichever one you choose, be prepared for half of their offerings to be feminist garbage, multicultural claptrap, or poofter propaganda. If you’re looking for a movie in which a white hetero male is the hero, you’d do better showing your 8mm vacation films.
I have both as well...
You need to keep in mind that there is a percentage of things where they are on one service or the other, but not both, or neither because it’s on Hulu, or one of the others. The libraries tend to rotate.
Amazon tends to have the “rent it now” aspect which I find annoying, where Netflix has the DVD option. I prefer the latter, but they just me.
Can’t speak to Hulu...don’t have it.
Amazon best.....I use both.
There is a website called Allflicks that lists what Netflix has to offer. We also have Amazon Prime. Not that impressed with Amazon’s Prime’s selection, but with what my wife has saved in shipping costs it has kinda payed for itself. We are using Roku players and there are many channels through it with movies, etc. that are free. For newer movies we go to Redbox. I reserve the movies online for Redbox and go pick them up.
I have both Netflix and Amazon.
You have to use you computer to create a playlist for both as it is frustrating to try to choose a show if using just their interface such as you see on the ROKU3 box. I also have Sling tv and for $25 I get all the shows both recent and new. I could drop Netflix and not really miss it but they have Top Gear and some other shows I like. For $9.99 a month it is convenient. If they raise the price then they will see more people dropping them as you can go to http://www.123movies.to or ru to see many more old and brand new shows then Netflix or Amazon offers.
