New on Prime Video in September 2026

Prime Video adds 138 movies in September 2026. Fifty-nine landed on September 1, another 34 arrived on September 7, and the rest trickled in between. The Silence of the Lambs has the highest IMDb score and the most votes, The Thing and The Great Escape sit just behind it, and the back half of the list splits into a horror run (three Purge films, House of 1000 Corpses and its sequel, The Thing) and a shelf of westerns and war films from the 1950s and 1960s. Only four titles leave all month, Filth first, on September 9.

Every title below is live on Prime Video in the US, and the full shelf updates daily on the Prime Video what-to-watch page.

The best of the new arrivals

1. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

119 min · IMDb 8.6 · RT 95 · Metascore 86 · September 1

The highest IMDb score of the month and the most-voted arrival on TMDB. An FBI trainee is sent to interview a caged psychiatrist so the Bureau can catch a serial killer somewhere in Virginia, and the interviews become the film. Three principal characters, one basement, and a night-vision scene that still works.

2. The Thing (1982)

109 min · IMDb 8.2 · RT 85 · Metascore 57 · September 7

Landed today, September 7, with the second-highest IMDb score of the month. An American research station in Antarctica takes in a sled dog from the Norwegian camp next door and finds out what the Norwegians were shooting at. A shapeshifter, a blood test, and a crew that cannot trust the man beside them. Practical effects that have not aged, and the best-reviewed horror arrival on Rotten Tomatoes after Don't Breathe.

3. The Great Escape (1963)

173 min · IMDb 8.2 · RT 94 · Metascore 86 · September 1

Allied officers in a German prison camp dig their way out, then scatter across Europe with the Luftwaffe behind them. Based on a true story, with the motorcycle jump that everybody remembers. Nearly three hours, and it earns them.

4. Raging Bull (1980)

129 min · IMDb 8.1 · RT 92 · Metascore 90 · September 1

A boxing biography shot in black and white. Jake LaMotta fights his way out of the Bronx and then fights his wife, his brother and everyone else in reach. The fistfights inside the ring are the easy part. Its Metascore of 90 is the highest of the month, tied with The Age of Innocence.

If you only have one night for the two classics up here, take this over The Great Escape. Higher Metascore, and 44 minutes shorter.

5. Rain Man (1988)

134 min · IMDb 8.0 · RT 88 · Metascore 65 · September 7

A Los Angeles car dealer learns his late father left the estate to a brother he never knew he had, an autistic savant in a Cincinnati institution. He takes the brother on a cross-country drive to get at the money and the drive changes the terms. Also arriving on HBO Max this month, so pick whichever app is already open.

6. Carlito's Way (1993)

144 min · IMDb 7.9 · RT 84 · Metascore 66 · September 7

A Puerto Rican gangster gets out of prison on a technicality and tries to go straight, running a nightclub to save up for a car rental business in the Bahamas. His lawyer, his old crew and the neighborhood have other plans. Crime drama built toward a chase through Grand Central.

7. The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)

126 min · IMDb 7.7 · RT 83 · Metascore 75 · September 7

Two medical students leave Buenos Aires in 1952 on a leaking motorcycle to see South America. One of them is the young Che Guevara, and the film is the road trip that turned him, told before any of the politics. Spanish-language, and the leper colony stretch on the Amazon is the heart of it.

8. Eastern Promises (2007)

100 min · IMDb 7.6 · RT 89 · Metascore 83 · September 7

A London midwife finds a diary on a dead teenage mother and takes it to the Russian restaurant on the card inside. The restaurant is a front, the family is vory, and the driver has secrets of his own. Crime thriller with a bathhouse knife fight that people still bring up. The shortest film in the top ten, at 100 minutes.

9. Duck, You Sucker (1971)

157 min · IMDb 7.5 · RT 92 · Metascore 77 · September 1

A Mexican bandit and an Irish explosives expert fall into a revolution neither of them signed up for. Spaghetti western, long and loud, with a train and a bridge and a lot of dynamite. Its 92 on Rotten Tomatoes ties Raging Bull.

10. Collateral (2004)

120 min · IMDb 7.5 · RT 86 · Metascore 71 · September 7

A Los Angeles cab driver picks up a fare who turns out to be a contract killer with five stops to make before dawn. One night, one city, shot on digital when that was still new. Thriller with a nightclub shootout in the middle and a train at the end.
