The 7 Best New Movies on Amazon Prime Video in February 2022

For some reason, out of the crop of new movies headed to Amazon Prime Video this month, many of them are associated with the 1980s. Not just movies from the Me Decade, although there are certainly a handful of classics from the Reagan era, but also movies that feel like they could have been made in that period – including a creature feature about rampaging dragons and a music-world spoof worthy of the ZAZ team.There’s also, of course, one of Steven Spielberg’s most powerful recent films and a 90s staple too.
