Amazon's catalog of online streaming videos keeps growing. On Wednesday, the company announced a licensing agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Studios.

Subscribers to Amazon’s $79-per-year Prime service will now have access to "hundreds" of classic movies and TV shows from the studio, the company said in a statement. Amazon didn't disclose the full list of titles, only noting that The Silence of the Lambs, Dances with Wolves, Rain Man, The Terminator and Stargate were included in the deal.

Amazon's last streaming deal was signed with Discovery Communications in March. The company also has licensing deals with Fox, CBS, NBC, Sony Viacom and Warner Bros., among others.

Together, the agreements bring the total number of titles in Amazon's Instant Video library to more than 18,000. Still, it has some way to go to compete toe-to-toe with longer-running streaming subscription services in the U.S. such as Netflix and Hulu Plus. And if earlier reports are true, Google and Verizon could be entering the arena later this year as well.

The deal suggests that MGM is becoming increasingly interested in distributing its content through online streaming video. In April, the studio began offering 600 movie rentals through YouTube.
