Alexa just flashed that I had a notification. When I asked what my notifications were, the device started telling me about a new Timothee Chalamet movie. I don't want the device to suggest movies to me. I don't see anything in the Alexa app Notifications settings to turn movie suggestions off. How would that be done? I do want Amazon shopping and severe weather notifications, so I don't want to turn off notifications globally.

You can't.
According to "people on the internet"[citation unlikely], Amazon is supposedly losing a lot of money on Alexa. As a result they are deploying these tricks trying to advertise more services that they hope will bring in more usage, which somehow might lead to more revenue. So Alexa responses are now polluted with "By the way, I can ..." kinds of suggestions.
The best you can do at this time is open the Alexa app, navigate to More+, then Notification preferences, then step through each of the pages deciding on whether or not you want to receive those particular messages. That will help reduce, but not eliminate, some of the unwanted messages.
