Prime Video has a number of insane streaming subscription deals for Black Friday

The deals include deep discounts on Paramount+, AMC+, and more.

Every year, we’re inundated with deals around Black Friday designed to get us to pony up some cash. Some of those deals are better than others, and this year, one of the very best deals is actually not on any physical merchandise. Instead, it’s the heavily discounted prices Amazon Prime Video is offering users who want to subscribe to additional streaming services through the platform.

Paramount+ with Showtime is currently 75% off for the first two months, bringing the subscription price down from $11.99/mo. to $2.99/mo. for those two months. With that subscription you can watch everything from Survivor to Top Gun: Maverick and plenty of other great films and TV shows in between.

Discovery+ and AMC+ are also 75% off for the first two months, meaning that each is only $1.25/mo. Those streaming services are undeniably a little more obscure, but offer their own selections of titles.

The deals don’t stop there: MGM+ is $1.75/mo., BritBox is $2.25/mo., Crunchyroll is $2/mo. and Starz is $2.75/mo.

These subscriptions are add-ons that are only available if you are already a subscriber to Amazon Prime, meaning that you fork over either $139/year or $14.99/mo. for the convenient shipping and for Prime Video. Prime Video is a great hub for plenty of streaming content, but there are several major streaming players that are absent from the service, including Max, Disney+, and Netflix. Still, if you’re looking for one of the smaller streaming services, and especially if you only want to subscribe for a couple of months, then these Prime Video deals might be calling your name.

As anyone with an Apple TV+ subscription will tell you, there are plenty of great movies and TV shows available on the streamer. Unfortunately, at $9.99/mo., the cost of a subscription is just too rich for some people's blood.

Apple is apparently hoping to bag an entirely new group of subscribers by making all of its shows and movies free for the first weekend of 2025. From Jan. 3 to Jan. 5, everything on Apple TV+ will be streamable for free with an Apple ID and password. That means that users can watch everything from Severance to Ted Lasso for free for a limited time, with the rather obvious goal of enticing users to sign up for a paid membership to the streamer.

January gems: The best Disney+ shows to stream this month
Disney nostalgia and awesome new shows to stream
The Mandalorian looks out over the sun

Disney Plus has finally created a competitive library of original series that can compete with other services like Netflix and Max. It's also a treasure trove of Disney nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the '90s and early 2000s. On top of all that, the streamer has released a few of the most popular TV series to come out in recent years, and those series, on top of the deep catalog, make a Disney+ subscription worthwhile.

The streaming service is, at the end of the day, still a streaming service. As a Disney fan myself, though, it can be hard not to get swept up in the magic that the service contains. Disney is an old-fashioned dream factory, and Disney+ is home to many of those dreams.

The best ’70s movies: Stream these must-see classics that defined the decade
Star Wars isn't the only big hit to remember from the 70s
Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.

The 1970s are often romanticized in American pop culture for good reason. Video games started blooming for the masses, rock and disco music was all the rage, with some of the best artists of all time dominating the charts, and Hollywood ushered in a novel era of storytelling and superstars. Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert De Niro are just a few of the iconic names that made this decade one of cinema's finest yet.

It's hard to believe that this incredible period is 50 years in the rearview mirror now. Even with several new generations of filmmakers creating novel series and building on older techniques since then, the 1970s represent a legendary pinnacle for genres like the mobster film and science fiction movies. Without the special effects of today, these films from the past were forced to hone in on the essence of their story with great writing and crafty direction behind the camera. These are the best 70s movies to relive over again on streaming.
