Have you run out of new shows and films to stream yet? Perhaps returning to a classic is an entertainment option this Labor Day weekend. We suggest the movie that launched Hugh Grant (and his hair) into the hearts of the masses: Maurice.

Maurice is streaming now through the Cohen Media Channel on Amazon Prime.
