Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Apple TV | July 13-19, 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 July 13-19, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
1. Fountain of Youth (2025)
Treasure maps, sibling rivalries, ancient secrets—it’s all on the table in Fountain of Youth. John Krasinski and Natalie Portman play estranged siblings forced to team up when a legendary artifact (yes, that one) resurfaces. Cue jungle chases, ancient booby traps, and a whole lot of unresolved family tension.
Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film wears its adventure DNA proudly. Think The Mummy meets National Treasure but with Ritchie’s signature style—witty dialogue, punchy pacing, and a few cheeky slow-motion montages thrown in for good measure. Eiza González and Stanley Tucci round out the cast, because no high-stakes heist is complete without at least one morally flexible archaeologist.
If you’re craving something that feels like Saturday morning cartoons grew up, got clever, and put on a leather jacket—this is it.
2. Echo Valley (2025)
Sydney Sweeney shows up in the middle of the night—bloodied, scared, and holding a secret—and Julianne Moore’s quiet farm life immediately unravels. That’s the setup for Echo Valley, a slow-burning thriller that digs into just how far a mother will go when the stakes are life or death.
Directed by Michael Pearce (Beast) and written by Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown), the tone is quiet dread—thick atmosphere, low lighting, and characters who carry entire backstories in their silences. Domhnall Gleeson and Kyle MacLachlan bring extra tension to a story that never lets you feel totally safe.
If you liked Prisoners, Sharp Objects, or any mystery where the pain feels generational, this one’s absolutely worth your time. Just maybe keep the lights on.
3. The Gorge (2025)
You’ve seen long-distance romances. Now try one where the couple is stationed on opposite sides of a mysterious gorge that may or may not contain an ancient evil. The Gorge is sci-fi horror with teeth—and claws, and things that go bump in the shadows.
Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller lead the cast as two elite operatives assigned to monitor opposing cliffs. They bond through binoculars… until whatever’s down below wakes up. Directed by Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone), the film brings sleek visuals, claustrophobic tension, and a monster that’s more than just a jumpscare.
Sigourney Weaver shows up because no serious sci-fi survival flick is complete without her, and honestly? She eats every scene. If you liked 10 Cloverfield Lane or Annihilation, this one’s calling your name.
4. Wolfs (2024)
Brad Pitt and George Clooney are back together and still way too cool for the rest of us. In Wolfs, they play rival “fixers” hired to clean up a crime—except the night goes sideways, and suddenly they’re stuck with each other and a trail of chaos neither of them signed up for.
Directed by Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home), this is a slick, one-night thriller with the kind of tension you can cut with a monologue. Frances McDormand and Amy Ryan add some serious bite to the supporting cast, and the whole thing unfolds like a chess match—with guns and very expensive coats.
If Michael Clayton, Inside Man, and Ocean’s Eleven had a lovechild who drank too much espresso, this would be it. Stream it for the tension. Stay for the Clooney/Pitt banter.
5. Luck (2022)
Not everything has to be high-stakes and moody. Luck is a brightly colored animated fantasy about the world’s unluckiest girl stumbling into the Land of Luck—an entire dimension that controls how fortune flows between humans.
Eva Noblezada voices Sam, our perpetually jinxed heroine, while Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, and Whoopi Goldberg voice various magical entities. There’s a leprechaun CEO, a black cat with job anxiety, and some very sparkly moral lessons about making your own luck.
Sure, it’s not reinventing the Pixar wheel, but it’s charming, funny, and has just enough heart to land the emotional beats. Think Inside Out meets Zootopia, but with four-leaf clovers and glitter.
6. Ghosted (2023)
You thought you were ghosted because they lost interest. Turns out? They were just saving the world. Ghosted flips the rom-com script when Chris Evans’s Cole falls for Ana de Armas’s Sadie—only to learn she’s a covert agent mid-mission. Before their second date can even happen, they’re dodging bullets across continents.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher (Rocketman), this is high-concept fun that leans more on action than romance, with exotic set pieces and an international tone that screams “Netflix algorithm—but make it Apple.” The chemistry is hit-or-miss, but Ana de Armas absolutely owns the spotlight, and Chris Evans sells the whole “handsome civilian out of his depth” thing like a pro.
It’s goofy. It’s glossy. It’s basically Knight and Day for the TikTok era—and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
7. The Family Plan (2023)
Mark Wahlberg, suburban dad. Sounds familiar, right? Now throw in a secret past as a government assassin and a minivan chase through Vegas, and you’ve got The Family Plan. When his old life resurfaces, Dan Morgan has to protect his unsuspecting wife and kids by dragging them on a cross-country “vacation”—complete with hitmen and awkward roadside motels.
Michelle Monaghan and Maggie Q round out the cast, and the movie bounces between family bonding and car-flipping chaos with more charm than it has any right to. Simon Cellan Jones (The Diplomat) directs with a light touch that keeps things breezy, even when the body count starts rising.
It’s The Incredibles meets The Bourne Identity—but with Fortnite references and Wahlberg yelling about granola bars. You’ll know within 10 minutes if it’s your kind of fun.
8. Greyhound (2020)
If you missed Greyhound when it helped launch Apple’s original film push back in 2020, now’s your chance to fix that. Tom Hanks wrote and stars in this taut World War II naval thriller about a U.S. destroyer captain trying to guide an Allied convoy across the Atlantic while under constant threat from Nazi U-boats.
Clocking in at just over 90 minutes, this thing moves. Director Aaron Schneider leans hard on real-time tension, sonar beeps, and captain-to-crew urgency that keeps you on edge the entire time. It’s not flashy—but it’s surgical. And Hanks plays the kind of quietly overwhelmed leader that somehow makes you sit up straighter just watching him.
If you liked Dunkirk but wished it had more radar and fewer timelines, this is the one to queue up.
9. Napoleon (2023)
Ridley Scott goes full Ridley Scott in Napoleon—a sweeping epic that tracks the French emperor’s rise, reign, and very messy personal life. Joaquin Phoenix steps into the boots as the man himself, commanding armies and brooding over Josephine (Vanessa Kirby) with equal intensity.
The battles are huge. The horse budget was probably absurd. And the emotional core? Toxic, obsessive, and fascinating. It’s history-meets-melodrama, with enough grit and scale to keep you glued to the screen—even if you’re side-eyeing the historical accuracy (don’t worry, historians already did that for you).
If Gladiator and Barry Lyndon had a very French baby, it would look like this. Moody, beautiful, and just a little bit unhinged.
10. Fly Me to the Moon (2024)
Scarlett Johansson. Channing Tatum. NASA. And a backup plan to fake the moon landing. Fly Me to the Moon blends romantic comedy with Cold War absurdity in one of Apple’s slickest original offerings of the year.
Johansson plays Kelly Jones, a PR fixer hired to clean up NASA’s image—and tasked with secretly staging a Plan B fake moon landing. Tatum plays the by-the-book launch director trying to get the real mission off the ground. Sparks fly. Chaos ensues. Woody Harrelson shows up, naturally.
Directed by Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon), it’s sharp, charming, and more layered than it first appears. Think Hidden Figures meets Catch Me If You Can with a glossy Mad Men finish. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might start side-eyeing those grainy Apollo 11 tapes.
And That’s a Wrap
There you go—ten Apple TV picks with something for every kind of movie night. You’ve got sweeping war stories (Greyhound, Napoleon), creature-feature suspense (The Gorge), and high-stakes thrillers (Echo Valley, Wolfs) to keep your pulse racing.
Then there’s globe-trotting spectacle (Fountain of Youth), animated charm (Luck), and chaotic rom-coms with body counts (Ghosted, Fly Me to the Moon). Whether you’re in the mood to think, feel, laugh, or just get completely swept away—this lineup’s got you.
So, fire up the app, settle in, and let Apple’s streaming slate do what it does best: surprise you.
