Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Apple TV | May 12, 2025

If you’re in the mood for a solid binge this week, Apple TV+ has a killer lineup for the top 10 movies. We’re talking epic battles, wild heists, and some seriously heart-pounding thrillers. Whether you’re in the mood for chaotic action, laugh-out-loud comedy, or a deep dive into human drama, we’ve got you covered. So grab your snacks, clear your schedule, and let’s dive into this week’s top picks.

The Gorge 

Imagine being stuck in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a sniper rifle and a bunch of mutant monsters for company. That’s The Gorge in a nutshell. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy play two elite snipers who are supposed to guard opposite sides of this nightmare gorge without ever speaking to each other. Spoiler alert: They don’t follow the rules. And thank God they don’t, because watching them go from deadly enemies to unlikely allies—and maybe more—is what makes this sci-fi thriller so good.

But it’s not just the romance. There’s something seriously messed up about this gorge, from the twisted creatures crawling out of it (thanks to some abandoned World War II bioweapons lab) to the shadowy defense company pulling the strings. Sigourney Weaver pops in as a sketchy handler who seems to know way more than she’s letting on, which is never a good sign.

If you’re into movies like Annihilation or Edge of Tomorrow, this one’s gonna hit all the right notes. It’s a little scary, a little sweet, and totally intense—kind of like falling for someone you’re not supposed to. So yeah, it’s perfect for a wild movie night.

Wolfs

Okay, you know that feeling when you’re at a party and suddenly realize your worst enemy is also there? That’s basically the vibe of Wolfs. George Clooney and Brad Pitt—Hollywood’s coolest bromance—play rival fixers who both get hired to clean up the same crime scene. The twist? They don’t know they’re working against each other until it’s way too late, and things go absolutely off the rails.

This is a darkly funny, chaotic thriller where Clooney and Pitt bring their A-game, trading banter and bullets like it’s nothing. Amy Ryan shows up to add even more chaos, and the whole thing is this wild, one-night rollercoaster of double-crosses, bad decisions, and barely-controlled panic. It’s like Snatch had a one-night stand with Midnight Run, and this is the glorious mess they made.

If you’re here for snappy dialogue, wild plot twists, and two absolute legends going toe-to-toe, Wolfs is your new obsession. Just don’t blink—you might miss a twist.

Greyhound 

Let’s be real—nobody does quiet, intense heroism like Tom Hanks, and Greyhound is basically two hours of him being an absolute badass (but then again, when is he not?). He plays Commander Krause, a navy captain leading a convoy across the Atlantic during World War II. Except instead of a relaxing cruise, it’s a full-blown nightmare, with German U-boats stalking them like sharks. And when the torpedoes start flying, it’s Hanks versus the ocean, and honestly, you’ll be holding your breath the whole time.

This is not one of those slow, philosophical war dramas—it’s a straight-up thriller. The tension is brutal, the action is relentless, and Hanks absolutely nails that “calm under pressure” vibe, even when everything is going sideways. It’s like Das Boot but with way more urgency—and about half the runtime.

If you love movies that drop you right into the chaos and never let up, Greyhound is your pick. Plus, it’s Tom Hanks. Even if you’re not a war movie fan, the guy just makes everything better.

The Instigators 

You know that feeling when a heist goes completely off the rails? That’s The Instigators. Matt Damon and Casey Affleck are two desperate guys who decide robbing a corrupt politician is a great idea. Spoiler: It’s not. The heist goes wrong in about three different ways at once, and suddenly they’re not just running from the cops—they’re running from everyone.

Doug Liman directs this one, which means it’s fast, chaotic, and way funnier than it should be for a movie about two guys trying not to get killed. Damon and Affleck have that perfect mix of brotherly chemistry and “we are so screwed” panic that makes every scene a blast. And Hong Chau shows up to steal a few scenes because that’s just what she does.

If you’re into heist movies that don’t take themselves too seriously—think Ocean’s Eleven with a lot more panic and bad decisions—this one’s for you. Just don’t try any of their plans at home.

Ghosted 

Imagine thinking you’ve been ghosted after a perfect date, only to find out your crush is actually a secret agent. That’s Ghosted, and it’s an absolute blast. Chris Evans is the sweet, clueless guy who falls head over heels for Ana de Armas, who’s definitely hiding something. Turns out she’s not just hiding—she’s in the middle of a global spy mission.

What follows is basically Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets Knight and Day, with Evans trying to keep up as de Armas leads him through shootouts, chases, and double-crosses. They’ve got killer chemistry—one minute they’re bickering like a rom-com couple, the next they’re dodging bullets. And Adrien Brody shows up as a villain who’s having way too much fun, which is exactly what this kind of movie needs.

If you love action comedies where romance and chaos collide, this one’s perfect. It’s funny, it’s fast, and it’s got two of the most charming leads you could ask for.

The Family Plan

Imagine trying to keep your kids from finding out you used to be a professional killer—that’s The Family Plan. Mark Wahlberg stars as Dan, a retired hitman trying to go full suburban dad. But when his old life comes crashing back, it’s PTA meetings by day, shootouts by night.

This one’s a wild mix of action, comedy, and total family chaos. Wahlberg is perfect as the dad who’s way too good at taking out bad guys, and Michelle Monaghan is the increasingly suspicious wife who’s pretty sure there’s something Dan’s not telling her. The action is big, the jokes land, and the family drama actually gives it some heart.

If you loved True Lies or Mr. & Mrs. Smith, this is right in your comfort zone. It’s a ridiculous, fun ride where the biggest threat is trying to keep your kids from seeing you in a shootout.

Luck

Sometimes you just need a feel-good, animated adventure that reminds you life’s not always as bad as it seems. Luck is exactly that. The movie follows Sam, the unluckiest person in the world, who stumbles into the magical Land of Luck—a place where good and bad luck are made, managed, and occasionally thrown into complete chaos. Eva Noblezada voices Sam, and she’s got the perfect mix of wide-eyed optimism and “why is this my life” energy.

But what really makes Luck pop is the world itself. It’s this bright, whimsical place full of leprechauns, lucky cats, and all kinds of creatures that control the fate of everyone on Earth. Jane Fonda voices a super-chic dragon who basically runs the place, and Simon Pegg is a street-smart black cat who becomes Sam’s guide through all the madness. It’s like Inside Out but for luck instead of emotions.

If you’re a fan of colorful, creative animated movies with a little bit of heart, this one’s a blast. It’s got just enough humor to keep adults entertained and plenty of adorable characters for kids to love. So whether you’re feeling lucky or not, Luck is an easy, feel-good watch.

Killers of the Flower Moon 

Alright, let’s get serious for a minute because Killers of the Flower Moon is not here to mess around. Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro—it’s basically a dream team, but they’re telling a nightmare story. Based on real events, it’s about the Osage Nation murders in the 1920s, when wealthy Native Americans were targeted and killed for their oil-rich land. Yeah, it’s brutal, but it’s also one of the most gripping stories you’ll ever see.

Leo plays Ernest Burkhart, a guy who’s in way over his head, caught between his ruthless uncle (De Niro) and his love for his Osage wife, Mollie (Lily Gladstone, who’s an absolute powerhouse). It’s this mix of true crime, tragedy, and a gut-wrenching love story, all wrapped up in Scorsese’s epic style. And because it’s Scorsese, you know it’s gonna look incredible—like every shot could be a painting.

But it’s not just a history lesson—it’s a gut punch. It’s about greed, racism, and betrayal on a massive scale, and it doesn’t pull any punches. If you’ve got the time and the emotional bandwidth, this is a must-watch. Just maybe don’t plan a happy family movie night around it.

Fly Me to the Moon 

Alright, let’s lighten things up with Fly Me to the Moon. It’s a romantic comedy wrapped in a space-age history lesson. Scarlett Johansson plays Kelly, a sharp-witted marketing expert hired by NASA to make the Apollo 11 moon landing look cool to the public. But instead of just managing the press, she ends up juggling astronaut egos, government pressure, and a surprise romance she absolutely didn’t see coming.

Scarlett’s great as always, but it’s the chemistry with Channing Tatum that really makes this one fly. He’s an astronaut who’s way better at spacewalks than he is at talking to people, and their back-and-forth is both hilarious and surprisingly sweet. Woody Harrelson also pops up as the grumpy NASA guy who just wants everyone to stay focused on, you know, landing on the freakin’ moon.

If you’re in the mood for a love story with a little history, this is an easy win. It’s smart, it’s charming, and it’s got just enough “NASA panic” to keep things exciting. Plus, it’s always fun to see a rom-com where the stakes are literally out of this world.

Napoleon 

If you’re in the mood for something epic—like, massive battles, ruthless ambition, and an absolutely wild love story—Napoleon is your ticket. Ridley Scott’s directing, Joaquin Phoenix is playing Napoleon Bonaparte, and this thing is as big, brutal, and beautiful as you’d expect. It’s basically the life of one of history’s most famous conquerors, but with Scott’s signature style—massive battles, intense drama, and zero sugar-coating.

Phoenix is magnetic as Napoleon, shifting from brilliant military genius to absolute madman in the blink of an eye. But this isn’t just a “watch Napoleon conquer Europe” story—it’s also a messy, passionate love story between him and Joséphine (played by Vanessa Kirby). Their relationship is basically a battlefield of its own—full of obsession, betrayal, and a whole lot of drama.

Think Gladiator but with more cannons, more heartbreak, and way more political backstabbing. It’s an absolute spectacle, but it’s also a character study of a guy who could conquer anything except his own heart. If you’re in the mood for something massive and emotional, Napoleon is a must.
