From pulse-pounding action to side-splitting comedies and emotionally resonant dramas, there’s something for every mood. Here are the 10 top movies (and series) you can stream on Prime Video currently, counting down to the top choice.
10. War of the Worlds (2005)
If you’re craving some sci-fi tension, this Spielberg classic is still good. Tom Cruise plays a dad who’s struggling to defend his children against a frightening alien attack. With high-octane action and depth, it’s one of those high-budget thrillers that gets your attention right from the beginning and refuses to relinquish it.
9. Wicked (2024)
Musical fans, rejoice. The popular Broadway musical finally gets the big-screen treatment with sparkling images, catchy tunes, and a new spin on the witches of Oz. It’s enchanting, touching, and already a hit among theater buffs.
8. Sabotage (2014)
Want a gritty action fix? Sabotage does the trick. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a DEA team leader whose mission turns lethal. It’s raw, intense, and designed for those nights you want something with serious adrenaline.
7. Uncharted (2022)
Need a quick, exciting thrill ride? Uncharted fits the bill. Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg inject charm and high energy into this adventure ride of a treasure hunt. It’s filled with stunts, far-flung locations, and enough back-and-forth to keep it light and fun.
6. Better Man (2025)
If you’re drawn to biopics, Better Man offers an intimate look at the life of a music legend. It’s one of those stories that sticks with you—honest, emotional, and beautifully acted. Worth a spot on your watchlist.
5. Game Night (2018)
Hungry for something humorous? Game Night finds that perfect balance of comedy and mystery. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams are great as a couple whose game night goes off the rails. It’s witty, intelligent, and perfectly ridiculous.
4. The Summer I Turned Pretty (2025)
Technically a series, but it’s so binge-worthy it may as well be a film. The new season tracks the lives of Belly and Jeremiah during another season of unforgettable fun. It’s a little bit messy, a little bit romantic, and full of moments that are both nostalgic and modern.
3. Heads of State (2025)
Action and comedy meet in this frenetic political thriller featuring Idris Elba and John Cena. The two star as opposing world leaders who are thrust together in an improbable partnership and must try to navigate chaos, discord, and an abundance of withering wit. Loaded with explosive set pieces and snappy one-liners, the movie doesn’t particularly take itself seriously, and that’s part of the fun. It’s aggressive, high-energy fun that delivers just what it says it will: big laughs, larger action, and two charismatic heroes having a ball.
2. Ballard (2025)
From Bosch, we get this intense crime drama featuring detective Renée Ballard, Maggie Q. If you enjoy cold cases, gritty narratives, and tough characters, it’s at the top of your list. It’s one of Prime’s strongest new releases.
1. Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd (2025)
Coming in at number one is this beautiful documentary about the life and times of the rock band Simple Plan. Far more than a behind-the-scenes peek at their career, it’s a tale of perseverance, dedication, and pursuing dreams against all odds. If you’re a die-hard fan or just enjoy a good underdog tale, this is a must-see documentary.
With so many picks to choose from, Prime Video keeps serving up entertainment. Whether searching for something new or a tried-and-true favorite, there’s much here to fill your watchlist and keep your evenings productively spent.
