There are hundreds of new titles being added to Amazon Prime Video this summer, so where do you even start?

Licorice Pizza hits both Prime Video US and UK, so both sides of the pond can enjoy Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar-nominated Coming of Age flick. If you're into period sports comedy dramas, A League of Their Own, starring Chante Adams, D'Arcy Carden, Roberta Colindrez, and Kelly McCormack is making its world premiere as one of Amazon's newest original series. Thirteen Lives, from director Ron Howard, chronicles the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue that saw a junior football team trapped in a cave for 18 days after heavy rainfall created a flood.

US viewers can look forward to Nicolas Cage at his best as the streaming platform is adding both Face/Off and Leaving Las Vegas. Over in the UK, Channing Tatum's Dog and Alicia Vikander's Tomb Raider are both hitting the streamer. The Halle Berry-led Moonfall will also be available to stream.

Paul Thomas Anderson's coming-of-age drama stars a 15-year-old actor Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) who falls hopelessly in love with an early-20s photographer's assistant named Alana Kane (Alana Haim). The HAIM sisters also make a cameo, as well as Bradley Cooper, Tom Waits, and George DiCaprio. The film earned three Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.

Based on the 1992 film of the same name, A League of Their Own follows the formation of the 1943 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and how its players fight to keep it alive despite injuries, road trips, close games, and a rapidly changing America. The series is created by Broad City's Abbi Jacobson and Mozart in the Jungle's Will Graham.

The film stars Viggo Mortensen as British civilian cave diver Richard Stanton, Colin Farrell as British cave diver John Volanthen, and Joe Edgerton as anesthetist Richard Harris.
