Top Ten Amazon Prime Picks

Comedy
1. Late Night  
Why shouldn’t the women be the center of the comedy. This amazon gem is a great one. Watch and enjoy.
 
2. Back to School 
The late comic Rodney Dangerfield (ok to say who?). He is a Comic legend of the ’60-‘2000s whose influence all over Jerry Seinfeld to Jim Carry and George Lopez.. Check this one on Prime, it is a gem, even better around 10pm.
 
3. Last Flag Flying 2014
The premise is not funny, but the journey the character’s take provides many humorous moment’s and captures the poignant lesson; sometimes there is laughter in life’s curveballs.

Tobey Maguire must battle Sand-man Thomas Haden-Church (Sideways) in a rare occasion the third movie works. I love they did not do a 4th Film.
