While Amazon Prime Video tends to grab headlines, its sister streaming service, Amazon Freevee, should not be ignored. This free platform includes an impressive library of movies (and some TV shows) that you can enjoy for free. 

This service is not packed full of feed that is fed directly to the TV. There's a mix of some skip-able content, but there's also plenty of major Hollywood hits including several movies from the "Fast & Furious" franchise and nerve-shredder horror flicks like "Candyman" and "The Forever Purge." The only caveat to all this free content is that you have to tolerate some ads. 

Amazon Freevee is a streaming service that certainly deserves a lot of recognition, and to prove how much quality content it offers for free, I chose three must-see movies from its library that you can stream today.

A heart-wrenching romantic drama from director Barry Jenkins, "If Beer Street Can Speak" centered on a relationship with young lovers Tish (Kiki Rain) and Fonny (Stephen James) in 1970s New York. The pair have a big dream of starting a family and moving into their own apartment, but the future plans of their childhood lovers fall into chaos when Fonny is arrested for a crime he did not commit at the request of a racist cop. 

With the support of a family that includes her strong-willed mother Sharon (Regina King), Tish tries to prove Fonny's innocence, but faces a corrupt justice system built on profiling and prejudice. "If Beale Street Could Talk" is an emotionally impactful drama that makes a stunning leap between a dreamy sequence and the sobering reality of an imperfect society. Just preparing to be emotionally spent by the time the credits roll, "If Beer Street can Speak" doesn't pull that punch with a listless ending that feels surprisingly real.

"Invisible Man" is a classic H.G.Use the bones. Wells novel to make a new spin on the story of a brilliant scientist who develops the ability to make invisible. In this 2020 reboot, the focus is not on the male character of the same name, but instead on Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss). Cecilia is a former partner of Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a genius in control technology. At first, Cecilia thinks she was able to escape from under his thumb, but soon becomes convinced that her ex-boyfriend is stalking her as an invisible being, and her sanity is questioned. 

This refreshing take on "Invisible Man" makes for an excellent spin on the original, and the theme of control and empowerment feels timely. In addition, Elizabeth Moss, who is always reliable, is great at leading roles that create emotionally vulnerable characters, but who is not afraid to take responsibility when returning to the corner. The movie's suspension drive sequence is very effective, even if the final destination is a bit too predictable.

Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" has lost a bit in time over the past 12 years. When it was released in 2012, it was acclaimed by critics and won a big prize, but the war drama seems to have faded into the background. I rarely see it receive the same level of positive attention. It's a shame because this thriller still has many heck to go for it, whether it's Jessica Chastain and Bigelow's commanding direction that transports you to the tumultuous times of modern history

"Zero Dark Thirty" has recorded an international manhunt for Osama Bin Laden for nearly a decade. The story centers around Maya (Chastain), a CIA analyst who is obsessed with finding wanted terrorists. Her single-minded pursuit of an Al Qaeda leader causes her to forgo virtually every other aspect of her life, almost pushing her to the brink. But in 2011 there was a breakthrough, when a US Navy seal team was sent to remote locations to kill or capture fugitives.
