Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Apple TV | August 3-9, 2025
So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Apple TV, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for August 3-9, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
1. The Gorge (2025)
Two sides. One monster. Zero chill.
In The Gorge, Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller play elite operatives stuck guarding opposite cliffs of a deep, eerie chasm. There’s silence. Distance. A whole lot of side-eye. But then something dark crawls out from the abyss—and suddenly, they’re very much on the same team.
Directed by Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone), this one goes full sci-fi-horror-romance. Yes, all three. And somehow it works. It’s tense, atmospheric, and a little bit doomed.
If you liked Annihilation, The Mist, or just watching beautiful people deal with monster problems, hit play.
2. Fountain of Youth (2025)
Siblings. Secrets. Treasure maps. Let’s go.
Fountain of Youth is your classic globe-trotting adventure flick—with a twist. John Krasinski and Natalie Portman play estranged siblings forced to team up when a mysterious artifact drops them into a race for immortality (and maybe closure).
Guy Ritchie directs with his usual swagger, and the supporting cast (Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Domhnall Gleeson) keeps things fast, funny, and slightly chaotic. Think The Mummy meets National Treasure with a little family therapy mixed in.
Is it deep? No. Is it fun as hell? Absolutely.
3. Echo Valley (2025)
A mother. A daughter. A whole lot of blood.
Julianne Moore plays Kate, a horse trainer living in rural isolation—until her daughter (Sydney Sweeney) shows up late one night, rattled and stained in someone else’s blood. What unfolds is a slow-burn thriller packed with secrets, panic, and one very tense mother-daughter reckoning.
Written by Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown) and backed by Ridley Scott, Echo Valley balances raw emotion with just enough dread to keep your stomach in knots.
Don’t expect jump scares—expect gut punches. The kind that sneak up on you.
4. Wolfs (2024)
Clooney. Pitt. One bad night.
In Wolfs, George Clooney and Brad Pitt play dueling fixers called in to clean up the same mess—and neither of them is thrilled about it. What starts as a hush-hush job spirals into an all-nighter filled with backseat bickering, botched plans, and one hell of a body count.
Directed by Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home), this one’s slick, sharp, and weirdly hilarious. Think Midnight Run if it were remade by the Coen brothers in a designer suit.
You’re not watching this for the plot. You’re here to see two Hollywood legends throw shade while trying not to die. It delivers.
5. Greyhound (2020)
U-boats. One ship. Tom Hanks holding it down.
Greyhound is a war drama distilled to its most intense, most efficient self. Tom Hanks plays a first-time Navy captain leading a WWII convoy through the Atlantic, dodging Nazi submarines with every breath. No flashbacks. No downtime. Just sonar pings, stress, and survival.
It’s tight (runtime: 91 minutes), tense, and surprisingly moving. If you ever wondered what Dunkirk would feel like at sea—with Hanks at the helm—this is it.
Bonus: it’s great background noise if you want something gripping but not too talky.
6. Luck (2022)
The unluckiest girl in the world just found the Land of Luck. What could go wrong?
In Luck, Sam is the kind of person whose toast always lands jelly-side down. But when she stumbles into a secret world full of lucky pennies, talking cats, and magical leprechauns (yes, really), she gets a shot at turning her life around—if she doesn’t accidentally jinx it all first.
Eva Noblezada leads the voice cast, with Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, and Whoopi Goldberg bringing serious charm to a film that’s pure feel-good chaos.
It’s sparkly, silly, and perfect for when you want something bright and wholesome that doesn’t skimp on heart.
7. The Family Plan (2023)
One minivan. One dad. One very inconvenient hit list.
Mark Wahlberg plays a mild-mannered dad-slash-former-assassin whose quiet suburban life goes full Bourne Identity when his old enemies show up. His fix? Throw the kids in the car and go on a totally “normal” family road trip… while secretly dodging death at every pit stop.
It’s part Spy Kids, part True Lies, and somehow includes Michelle Monaghan, Maggie Q, and actual Twitch streamers. Yes, really.
It’s big, goofy fun with just enough action to keep you from checking your phone. The kind of movie you put on “for the kids,” but end up finishing solo.
8. Ghosted (2023)
He fell for her. Then found out she’s CIA. Now they’re saving the world. Romantic, right?
Ghosted throws Chris Evans and Ana de Armas into a fast-paced, globe-trotting spy comedy where the meet-cute turns into a car chase real quick. He’s a charming, clueless everyman. She’s a trained killer who ghosted him after one date. Cue explosions.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher, it’s got Mr. & Mrs. Smith energy with Romancing the Stone vibes, and a whole lot of snarky flirting in between shootouts.
No one’s reinventing the genre here—but if you like chemistry, chaos, and Chris Evans in a Henley, you’re in good hands.
9. Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Oil. Greed. Murder. And the birth of the FBI.
Based on a harrowing true story, Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma, whose sudden oil wealth sparked a wave of calculated murders. Enter the newly formed FBI—and a deeply compromised marriage.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone (who absolutely steals the film) lead this sprawling crime epic directed by Martin Scorsese.
It’s haunting, slow-burning, and rooted in history that hits harder than fiction. Not light—but unforgettable.
10. Tetris (2023)
Block by block, deal by deal, chaos builds.
You wouldn’t think a licensing deal for a video game could make a thrilling movie, but Tetris proves otherwise. Taron Egerton plays Henk Rogers, the man who smuggled Tetris out of the Soviet Union—and nearly got crushed by Cold War politics in the process.
It’s half spy thriller, half nerdy origin story, with neon 8-bit vibes and a killer synth soundtrack.
Think The Social Network meets Bridge of Spies, but with more Game Boys. Yes, it’s real. And yes, it’s way better than it has any right to be.
And That’s a Wrap
Whether you’re into monster-ridden ravines (The Gorge), Cold War console wars (Tetris), or just watching Brad Pitt and George Clooney passive-aggressively clean up crime scenes (Wolfs), Apple TV’s lineup this week brings the heat.
Need a family-friendly pick? Luck is whimsical, weird, and full of charm. Looking for something darker? Echo Valley and Killers of the Flower Moon deliver emotional gut-punches that linger long after the credits roll. Want explosions with a side of flirting? Ghosted and The Family Plan check both boxes.
Basically, it’s a good week to cancel your plans, order takeout, and let Apple TV do the entertaining.
Queue it up. Hit play. And enjoy the ride.
