Amazon Prime members can now catch a host of award-winning films courtesy of a new deal with Miramax.

Hundreds of Miramax titles have been added to Amazon's lineup, such as "Pulp Fiction," "Good Will Hunting," "Life Is Beautiful," "The English Patient," "Kill Bill," "Amelie," "Reservoir Dogs," and "Trainspotting."

Prime members can watch their favorite Miramax films via a variety of devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Roku, as well as Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players.

Amazon has increasingly been fighting to compete with Netflix by cooking up its own deals with the networks and movie studios. In this case, Amazon's latest deal comes about two years after Netflix signed a similar agreement with Miramax.
