Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Prime Video | July 20-26, 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 July 20-26, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

1. Heads of State (2025)

What do you get when you put the U.S. President and the U.K. Prime Minister on a hit list together? A buddy-action comedy with exactly the kind of chaos we need right now.

Heads of State stars John Cena and Idris Elba as feuding world leaders who suddenly find themselves running for their lives—and maybe running toward actual friendship? Add Priyanka Chopra Jonas as a very capable MI6 agent (bless her), and you’ve got a high-stakes international romp with just enough global conspiracy to justify the explosions.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller (Nobody), it’s got slick fight scenes, ridiculous one-liners, and the kind of dumb-smart fun that only happens when action stars lean all the way into the bit. Think The Hitman’s Bodyguard meets White House Down, with a little James Bond flair.

It’s loud, fast, and surprisingly charming. World peace never looked this sweaty.

2. The Accountant 2 (2025)

Ben Affleck is back doing what he does best: brooding in silence, solving murders, and punching people in the throat with math.

In The Accountant 2, Affleck’s Christian Wolff gets pulled back into the game when someone close is taken out—and the clues point to a deeper, nastier conspiracy. So he calls in backup: his estranged, rage-filled brother Brax (Jon Bernthal, still terrifying), and former Treasury agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), who is just trying to survive all this without a panic attack.

Directed by Gavin O’Connor (again), the sequel ditches some of the original’s quirky charm for darker, more intense vibes. The action hits harder, the stakes feel real, and the twisty plot keeps things moving—slow burn style.

If you liked the first one or just enjoy watching highly competent weirdos dismantle criminal networks while barely blinking, this one’s worth the ride.

3. Hidden Figures (2016)

A must-watch that’s powerful, moving, and somehow still underhyped. If you haven’t seen Hidden Figures yet—make this your movie night priority.

Based on real events, it follows three brilliant Black women—Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—whose behind-the-scenes work at NASA helped launch John Glenn into orbit. And they did it while battling segregation, sexism, and the kind of institutional garbage that would’ve crushed most people.

The performances are knockout (Spencer scored an Oscar nom), and the story hits every beat without feeling preachy. There’s math, yes—but more importantly, there’s heart, humor, and some serious steel.

It’s The Imitation Game meets Erin Brockovich, but with way better fashion and a lot more truth.

4. Uncharted (2022)

Treasure maps. Ancient puzzles. Tom Holland falling off stuff. You know what this is.

Uncharted brings the hit PlayStation franchise to the big screen with a slick, globe-trotting adventure that’s half Indiana Jones, half Fast & Furious: National Treasure Edition. Holland plays young Nathan Drake, a scrappy orphan turned treasure hunter, teaming up with Mark Wahlberg’s Sully to track down billions in lost gold—and maybe a long-lost brother while they’re at it.

Is it deep? No. Is it fun? Absolutely. There’s a pirate ship dangling from a helicopter at one point, and you will not be mad about it.

It’s popcorn cinema in its purest form—shiny, loud, and exactly what your weeknight needs.

5. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)

The gang’s all here—and this time, they brought Shadow.

Sonic 3 cranks up the stakes with the arrival of Shadow the Hedgehog, the moody antihero with a backstory pulled straight out of a sci-fi soap opera. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are back and more chaotic than ever, but Shadow’s arrival changes the game in ways that even Robotnik (yep, Jim Carrey returns) doesn’t see coming.

With Keanu Reeves voicing Shadow and Idris Elba still killing it as Knuckles, this one leans into its weirdness and comes out swinging. It’s got heart, it’s got speed, and it somehow manages to make you feel things in between boss fights.

The animation is top-tier, the soundtrack slaps, and the fans are loving it. If you’re here for nostalgia with modern flair, you’ll be racing through this one.

6. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Let’s be real—this movie didn’t have to go this hard. But it did. And we’re all better for it.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes two Brooklyn plumbers, tosses them down a warp pipe, and drops them into the most colorful fever dream Nintendo has ever produced. Mario (Chris Pratt) is on a mission to save Luigi (Charlie Day), dodge lava, ride Yoshis, and not get obliterated by Jack Black’s fully unhinged Bowser. Oh, and Anya Taylor-Joy’s Princess Peach? Total upgrade.

The animation is stunning. The pacing is fast. The jokes land (especially if you grew up dodging Koopas), and the soundtrack? It somehow makes a power-up block feel like a mic drop.

It’s Wreck-It Ralph meets LEGO Movie meets “I can’t believe they actually made this work.” Whether you’re a lifelong Mario fan or just here for chaos in a kart, it’s pure pixelated joy.

7. How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

If you cried during the first one… well, hydrate now. Because How to Train Your Dragon 2 takes everything you loved and dials it way, way up.

Set five years after Hiccup and Toothless brokered peace between Vikings and dragons, this sequel expands the world, the stakes, and the emotional gut-punches. When they discover a hidden ice cave full of wild dragons—and a mysterious rider with a shocking connection to Hiccup—things get serious fast.

The animation is gorgeous, the flying scenes are still unmatched, and the movie doesn’t shy away from real consequences. It’s a story about family, legacy, and finding your own way—even when it hurts.

Also, Cate Blanchett as a dragon whisperer? That’s all you need to know.

8. RoboCop (2014)

Okay, this one’s divisive—but hear us out.

The 2014 reboot of RoboCop takes the bones of the ’80s classic and wraps them in sleek, modern tech. Joel Kinnaman plays Alex Murphy, a Detroit cop turned into a part-man, part-machine law enforcer after a car bomb nearly kills him. Cue corporate scheming, AI ethics debates, and lots of shiny black armor.

Is it as gritty or satirical as the original? Not really. But it is a surprisingly thoughtful, fast-paced sci-fi action flick with great performances from Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton (playing peak smarmy CEO energy). Plus, Samuel L. Jackson delivers the most aggressive in-universe news broadcasts you’ve ever seen.

It’s no classic—but it’s solid, stylish, and absolutely worth a rewatch with fresh eyes.

9. The Hustle (2019)

Two con artists. One tiny European town. Zero shame.

The Hustle is a gender-flipped remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it does have Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway throwing shade, fake-crying for money, and committing full chaos in ball gowns. Wilson plays the lovable scammer with a million low-rent tricks; Hathaway plays the high-class grifter who wants her gone.

It’s breezy, ridiculous, and the accent work (especially Hathaway’s) is… well, it’s a choice. But it’s the kind of movie that knows exactly what it is and leans into it. If you want highbrow, this ain’t it. If you want to watch two women out-grift each other for 90 minutes? Hit play.

Bonus: perfect background movie for folding laundry or plotting your own glamorous con.

10. Twisters (2024)

Big skies. Bigger storms. And even bigger egos.

Twisters brings back the disaster-movie energy of the ’90s but adds a modern twist: social media storm chasers. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays a former scientist pulled back into the field, and Glen Powell is the adrenaline junkie YouTuber who wants to livestream the apocalypse. Naturally, it all goes sideways when multiple storm systems start colliding—and the only way out is through.

The visuals are insane (actual IMAX-level tornadoes), and director Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) somehow finds moments of humanity in the chaos. There’s tension, heartbreak, flying cows (okay, maybe not), and a pretty great reminder of how small we all are when nature throws a tantrum.

If you miss the thrill of Twister or just want to watch very attractive people scream into wind machines, this one’s a ride.

And That’s a Wrap

There you have it—ten Prime Video picks that bring the thunder. You’ve got presidents on the run (Heads of State), treasure hunts with trust issues (Uncharted), and con artists faking posh accents (The Hustle). Whether you’re in the mood for sonic-speed showdowns (Sonic 3), socially awkward assassins (The Accountant 2), or a heartfelt space-race drama (Hidden Figures), this week’s lineup hits every corner of the streaming spectrum.

We’ve got tornadoes in 4K (Twisters), dragons with mommy issues (HTTYD2), and yes, even a cyborg cop trying to hold it together (RoboCop). Some of these will pull you in. Others will blow you away. Either way, popcorn is non-negotiable.

So fire up Prime Video, grab a blanket, and hit play—you’ve got some serious screen time ahead.
