Looking for something good to watch on Prime Video this week? Here are 10 picks across romance, action, thriller, and comedy, newest arrival on the platform with some of the best recent and classic titles currently streaming, all confirmed live on the platform right now!
1. Your Fault: London (Romance/Drama)
Noah and Nick are stronger than ever, but life is pulling them apart, she’s off to Oxford, he’s buried in work, and a new cast of suspiciously attractive characters shows up to stir the pot. This sequel keeps the focus tightly on the relationship drama, trading the racing and crime subplots of the first film for jealousy, distance, and old wounds resurfacing.
Best for- fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty-style YA romance who want something a little more grown-up.
2. Plane (Action/Thriller)
A pilot makes an emergency landing on a war-torn island after a lightning strike, only to discover local rebels are hunting his passengers one by one, forcing him to team up with a fugitive on board to survive. It’s quietly become one of Gerard Butler’s best-reviewed films ever, only his How to Train Your Dragon live-action role scores higher with audiences. A planned sequel, titled Ship, was scrapped earlier this year.
Best for- a Friday night with snacks and zero patience for slow burns.
3. Crime 101 (Heist/Crime Thriller)
A meticulous LA jewel thief planning one last score crosses paths with a disillusioned insurance broker, while a relentless detective closes in on them both. With Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry leading an ensemble that also includes Barry Keoghan and Nick Nolte, this one debuted at No. 1 globally and spent six weeks in Prime Video’s Top 10.
Best for- fans of slick, star-studded heist thrillers in the vein of Heat.
4. Thoroughbreds (Dark Thriller)
Two teenage girls reconnect after years apart, one a polished overachiever, the other an emotionally numb outcast, and quietly hatch a plan to deal with a problem in one of their lives. It’s one of the final film roles for Anton Yelchin before his death, and the suffocatingly bland Connecticut suburb setting was a deliberate choice by director Cory Finley to heighten the unease.
Best for- fans of icy, controlled psychological thrillers, this one rewards patience.
5. 12 Angry Men (Courtroom Drama)
Twelve jurors must decide the fate of a young man accused of murder, and what starts as an open-and-shut guilty verdict unravels as one juror begins questioning the evidence everyone else assumed was certain. The film flopped at the box office on release despite costing almost nothing to make, yet it now sits at number five on IMDb’s all-time list and holds a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Best for- viewers who appreciate tightly written dialogue over spectacle, required viewing for any film fan.
6. The Notebook (Romance)
An elderly man reads a love story to a woman with memory loss in a nursing home, the story of two young lovers from different social classes whose summer romance is tested by distance, war, and family disapproval. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reportedly clashed badly on set, with Gosling at one point asking the director to recast her, yet their on-screen chemistry was so convincing they ended up dating in real life after filming wrapped.
Best for- a guaranteed-tears kind of evening, especially if you haven’t revisited it in a while.
7. G20 (Action/Political Thriller)
When terrorists storm the G20 summit, the President of the United States, played with commanding screen presence by Viola Davis, has to fight her way through enemy lines to protect her family and the world’s leaders. The film pulled in over 50 million viewers worldwide and became one of Amazon’s ten most-watched action films ever on the platform.
Best for- viewers who want big, unapologetic blockbuster energy with a genuinely great lead performance carrying it.
8. Jackpot! (Action Comedy)
In a near-future Los Angeles, California’s new “Grand Lottery” lets anyone legally kill the winning ticket holder before sundown to claim their billions, and Katie (Awkwafina) accidentally discovers she’s holding the winning ticket. She teams up with an unconventional lottery protection agent (John Cena) to survive the day. Director Paul Feig built the film as a love letter to scrappy ’90s action comedies, and the chaotic chemistry between Cena and Awkwafina is the whole show.
Best for- a loud, silly, no-stakes watch when you just want to laugh.
9. One Battle After Another (Action/Thriller)
A burnt-out former revolutionary is pulled back into action to save his daughter from his old nemesis, a deranged military colonel hunting them both. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, this is a genuine awards contender, riotously funny, surprisingly moving, and one of the best-reviewed films of the year.
Best for- anyone who wants something with real craft behind it, not just comfort viewing.
10. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Dark Comedy/Fantasy)
Lydia Deetz’s teenage daughter Astrid stumbles on the old Winter River model house in the attic, and it’s only a matter of time before someone says the name three times and the mischievous demon comes roaring back into the family’s life. Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and the late Catherine O’Hara all return, joined by Jenna Ortega, in a sequel that grossed over $450 million worldwide against a $100 million budget. Tim Burton’s ghoulish charm is fully intact here, blending practical effects with the kind of gleeful chaos that made the original a cult classic.
Best for- fans of Burton’s offbeat humor who want something spooky but never actually scary.
