When you buy movies on Amazon Prime, they are added to your digital library, accessible anytime through your Amazon account. Although you 'buy' these movies, you're technically purchasing a license to access them; this means as long as Amazon Prime exists and holds the rights to the movie, you can watch it any number of times. However, if Amazon were to lose the rights or discontinue its video service, there might be restrictions on accessing these movies. It's always wise to check the terms of service for the most current information.
