Amazon has plenty of great movies and TV shows
to watch. You simply need to open the Amazon video application on your device,
buy or rent the movie you want to watch and you can stream and enjoy the show.
Unfortunately, streaming is not the most
convenient way to watch a movie since internet connection is not always on our
side. When the connection is acting up and the streaming is lagged in the most
important scenes, you definitely will not feel like watching anymore. Thankfully,
you can actually download the movies you purchased on Amazon to watch it
offline. Once the movie is safely stored on your device, internet connection is
no longer needed to watch, which means you can say goodbye to lagged streaming.

Interesting Movies to Download
Just like Netflix, Amazon also has its
original movies section. My personal favorite from Amazon Original Movies is
The Dressmaker with Kate Winslet as the leading lady. This award-winning movies
tell a story about a talented dressmaker that is forced to go back to her
hometown and ditches her dream to take care of its eccentric mother. Besides
Amazon Original Movies, you can also watch various other popular movies like A
Dog’s Purposes, Hidden Figures and the famous musical La La Land with Emma
Stone and Ryan Gosling.
