How to search film genres on Amazon??

13 replies

How do I search film genres on Amazon Prime?? Can't seem to find an option to do this anywhere. I'm sure it used to be possible, or maybe I'm thinking of Netflix. Anyway, if anyone can enlighten me on this, I'd be incredibly grateful! At the moment it seems that I just have to scroll through everything...this can't be right.

I'd like to know too. It's very annoying

I hate the layout of Amazon Prime. It is basically impossible to JUST look at all the movies they have to watch within Prime, either generally or by genre, without forcing you to look at "Subscription Channels" or "Rent/Buy"

It is on purpose and extremely aggravating.

I have often thought of starting this very thread SmileBlush

You mean, it's not possible??? That's sooo annoying! Definitely not going to renew next year, and will tell them why! like they'll care

Oh! I keyed in 'horror films' into the movie search bar and it brought them up, plus the option to search by genre at the right hand side!

You literally have to find the "Prime" grid and just keep flicking sideways, even then I'm fairly sure you don't see EVERYTHING

"Oh look! There's a good one"

No, I don't fucking want a trial of Starz Play FUCK RIGHT OFF

Grrrrr.

Don't know why it isn't an option at the beginning though. Weird. You can then search by genre, rating, certificate.

But has it just brought up Prime only, or the ones you have to pay extra for? 🤔

BigbreastsBiggerbeard · 23/12/2019 22:46

I meant left hand side!

Prime, by the looks of it, Vanya

BigbreastsBiggerbeard · 23/12/2019 22:47

You have the option to search only ones included with Prime.

It's never worked for me I will try it now

VanyaHargreeves · 23/12/2019 22:53

It comes up but not in a proper grid list like Netflix still this keep doing a sideways flick shite

😂

They have an awful user interface. It's just messy. They need to sort it out.

I get a vertical list of films. It's odd though. Not sure it gives all films. Will have a play tomorrow. It's doing my head in.
