Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Prime Video | October 12-18, 2025

So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Prime Video, 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 October 12–18, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

SAQUON (2025)

This one’s personal.

SAQUON isn’t your typical sports doc—it’s raw, unfiltered, and kind of heartbreaking in spots. It started as Barkley’s rehab diary after his ACL tear but turned into this five-year look at his life—his family, his doubts, and the crazy full-circle moment of winning a Super Bowl on his birthday. He opens up in a way you don’t expect from pro athletes. You see the grind, but also the vulnerability. Even if you couldn’t care less about football, it’s worth a watch.

Play Dirty (2025)

Mark Wahlberg’s back doing what he does best—getting in over his head.

From Kiss Kiss Bang Bang director Shane Black, Play Dirty feels like a throwback to the smart-mouthed crime movies of the late ’90s. Wahlberg plays a career thief trying to pull off a massive heist, and his unlikely partner is played by LaKeith Stanfield (who steals pretty much every scene). It’s violent, funny, and just ridiculous enough to work. Think The Nice Guys but with more bullets and better suits.

Maintenance Required (2025)

Small-town romance meets spark plugs.

Madelaine Petsch plays Charlie, who runs an all-female mechanic shop and starts venting online about her new corporate rival across the street—without realizing she’s actually talking to him. Yeah, it’s a little predictable, but the banter’s great, the chemistry’s real, and it’s got that cozy energy that makes you forget the world for a while. Basically, if You’ve Got Mail and Sweet Home Alabama had a queer little Gen Z cousin, this would be it.

John Candy: I Like Me (2025)

You’re going to cry, but in a good way.

Colin Hanks put together this love letter to John Candy, filled with unseen footage, home videos, and stories from the people who knew him best—Steve Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Aykroyd, the whole crew. It’s funny, obviously, but also surprisingly emotional. You see the weight Candy carried behind all that laughter. It’s sweet, sad, and genuinely beautiful. The kind of doc that makes you want to call your parents afterward.

No Time to Die (2021)

Craig’s Bond goes out swinging.

Five films later, Daniel Craig finally hangs up the tux, and he does it in style. No Time to Die is equal parts action movie and goodbye letter, and it nails both. The stunts are insane, the emotion actually lands, and Ana de Armas shows up for ten minutes and completely steals the show. Even if you’ve fallen off the Bond wagon, this one’s worth jumping back in for.

A Working Man (2025)

Jason Statham. David Ayer. Violence. That’s the movie.

Statham plays Levon Cade, a former black-ops guy turned construction worker who gets dragged back into chaos when someone he cares about is kidnapped. From there, it’s fistfights, shootouts, and plenty of Statham glaring at bad guys before breaking their bones. It’s gritty, it’s fast, and it’s got that no-nonsense Ayer energy (End of Watch, Fury). Basically, it’s the kind of action movie your dad’s already watched twice.

Diablo (2025)

A one-man rampage with zero CGI nonsense.

Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror reunite for another brutal, old-school action flick—no fake explosions, just pure fight choreography. Adkins plays an ex-con who accidentally kidnaps the wrong person and ends up being hunted by every criminal in the city. The plot’s thin, but who cares? The hand-to-hand stuff is unreal. If you miss the kind of stunt work that used to be standard in the ’80s and ’90s, this will hit the spot.

Queen of Bones (2025)

Creepy, cold, and really well-acted.

Set in Depression-era Oregon, this folk horror centers on two kids who start poking around their late mother’s dark past. Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Jacob Tremblay (Room) are both killer in it, and Taylor Schilling plays a mom barely holding it together. It’s moody, slow, and unsettling—not jump-scare horror, more like The Witch or Hereditary in its vibe. Turn the lights off and let it crawl under your skin.

Casino Royale (2006)

Still the best Bond reboot.

Daniel Craig’s first outing as 007 is the perfect mix of grit and glamour. The poker scenes are tense as hell, Mads Mikkelsen’s villain is genuinely scary, and Eva Green’s Vesper Lynd remains one of the best Bond girls ever (and not in the cliché way). It’s smart, grounded, and full of that cool-as-hell energy modern action movies keep trying to recreate. Eighteen years later, it still slaps.

Tremors (1990)

A perfect monster movie that never takes itself too seriously.

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward fight giant underground worms in a desert town called Perfection. That’s it. That’s the movie. But somehow, it works perfectly. It’s funny, it’s suspenseful, and the practical effects still hold up. It’s one of those films you throw on “just to watch the opening” and end up watching the whole thing. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat. If you have, you already know it rules.

And That’s a Wrap

So there you go—football comebacks, slick heists, weird witches, and a few bullets (or worm attacks) for good measure. Prime Video’s lineup this week is all over the place in the best way. SAQUON hits the feels, Play Dirty hits the gas, and John Candy: I Like Me hits your heart. Whatever mood you’re in—action, nostalgia, or just something that makes you forget your phone for two hours—this list’s got you covered.
