### Groundhog Day (1993)
**Synopsis:** This classic comedy-drama stars Bill Murray as Phil Connors, a cynical TV weatherman sent to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. He finds himself stuck in a time loop, reliving the same day repeatedly. Throughout the film, Phil undergoes significant personal growth, mirroring the concept of purgatory as he transforms into a better person.

**Availability:** "Groundhog Day" has been a popular film since its release, and it's likely to be available for rental or purchase on Amazon Prime Video. It may also be included with a subscription if it's part of Amazon's streaming library at the time of your search.

### Lost (TV Series, 2004-2010)
**Synopsis:** While not a movie, "Lost" is a highly influential TV series that follows the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 who crash on a mysterious island. Each character has a complex backstory and deals with personal demons, much like the purgatorial concept of soul purification. The show delves into themes of redemption, fate, and the struggle between good and evil.

**Availability:** As a popular TV series, "Lost" might be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, either as part of the subscription or for individual episode purchase. Box sets or complete series collections might also be available for purchase.

### The Divine Comedy - Purgatorio (Adaptations)
**Synopsis:** "Purgatorio" is the second part of Dante Alighieri's epic poem "The Divine Comedy." It describes Dante's journey through Purgatory, depicted as a mountain where souls must be cleansed of their sins before they can enter Paradise. While there are various adaptations and references to "The Divine Comedy" in film and literature, direct adaptations of "Purgatorio" specifically might be less common.

**Availability:** Direct film adaptations of "Purgatorio" may not be as readily available as adaptations of the entire "Divine Comedy" or its more famous first part, "Inferno." However, there may be educational or interpretive films related to Dante's work on Amazon Prime Video, either for rent, purchase, or included with a subscription.

### The Great Divorce (By C.S. Lewis)
**Synopsis:** "The Great Divorce" is a theological fantasy by C.S. Lewis that explores the concept of the afterlife. In the story, the damned take a bus trip from hell to the outskirts of heaven, and they must choose to stay or go back. The narrative is an allegory of the Christian concepts of sin, redemption, and the choices that lead to heaven or hell, with purgatorial themes of self-awareness and transformation.

**Availability:** As of my last update, there isn't a widely recognized film adaptation of "The Great Divorce." However, there may be stage play recordings, audio dramas, or lecture series on the book available for purchase or streaming on Amazon.

For all the titles mentioned, it's important to search Amazon directly or check the latest streaming offerings to find out if these movies and shows are currently available in your region. Availability can vary and might depend on licensing agreements in place at the time of your search.
