So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Peacock, 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 June 22-28, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
This is the one that started it all—and yeah, it still holds up. How to Train Your Dragon is a near-perfect mix of heart, humor, and sky-soaring animation. Jay Baruchel voices Hiccup, a scrawny Viking kid who’d rather tinker than slay dragons. When he injures a mysterious Night Fury, instead of killing it, he befriends it.
And just like that, everything changes. The bond between Hiccup and Toothless isn’t just sweet—it’s kind of profound. Their friendship rewires how the entire Viking village sees the world. The flying scenes? Still jaw-dropping. The emotion? Still hits.
If you somehow missed this one—or just haven’t watched it in years—now’s the time. It’s pure, feel-good storytelling that doesn’t talk down to anyone.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
Five years later, Dragon 2 comes in swinging—bigger, darker, and way more emotionally loaded. Hiccup’s grown up, the dragons are integrated into village life, and the stakes are now global. A new villain wants to weaponize dragons, and Hiccup uncovers a secret that rocks his entire world.
Oh, and his mom? Not dead. Just chilling in a frozen sanctuary, living that dragon-whisperer life. This sequel does what every good sequel should: it deepens the world and punches you in the feelings. There’s loss. There’s legacy. There’s some seriously epic dragon battles.
It’s not just more of the same—it’s more everything. And it earns every minute of it.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)
The trilogy wraps with a farewell that’s equal parts beautiful and brutal. In The Hidden World, Hiccup and Toothless are tested like never before—by love, leadership, and the pull of their own species. A new villain wants to destroy everything they’ve built, and for the first time, it’s clear not everyone can stay together forever.
Visually, it’s stunning. The dragon utopia is luminous and otherworldly, and the flying sequences are pure magic. But under all that fantasy, this is a breakup movie. Between two best friends. And yeah, it’ll probably make you cry.
This is how you end a story—with grace, guts, and just enough hope to make the goodbye land.
Love Hurts (2025)
Ke Huy Quan as a retired assassin turned real estate agent? Yeah, you’re already in. Love Hurts is a fast-paced, genre-blending action comedy that plays like Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a baby with Barry. Quan brings all the warmth and weirdness you’d expect, but don’t let the dad-core cardigan fool you—he still knows how to throw down.
The plot kicks off when his estranged brother (played by Daniel Wu) shows up with a hit squad on his heels. Old secrets bubble up. So do unresolved feelings. There’s romance, sibling beef, and a full-on suburban shootout that involves a backyard trampoline.
It’s a little messy, a little silly, and honestly? That’s the fun of it. Not groundbreaking, but definitely entertaining.
Despicable Me 3 (2017)
Minions. Laser guns. A villain obsessed with the ’80s. Despicable Me 3 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—but it sure throws a disco ball on it. Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) meets his long-lost twin, Dru, and the two team up to take down Balthazar Bratt, a washed-up child star with shoulder pads and a vengeance complex.
Is it chaotic? Absolutely. Are the Minions still doing their weird thing? You bet. But there’s also some nice little beats about family, identity, and finding your purpose—amid all the dance battles and jelly guns, of course.
If you’re watching with kids, this one delivers. If you’re not? It still slaps.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Just when you thought the dino park disasters were over, Fallen Kingdom says, “Hold my T. Rex.” This sequel starts with a volcanic eruption threatening the remaining dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. But what begins as a rescue mission quickly turns into something way shadier. Think secret labs, auctioned-off predators, and genetically engineered monsters in a mansion.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return, doing their thing—he’s still a raptor whisperer, she’s still cleaning up corporate messes. Jeff Goldblum pops in to give some Big Chaos Theory Energy. The movie leans more horror-thriller than pure action, which actually kind of works.
It’s dumb fun, but with enough dinosaur carnage and high drama to keep you hooked. Just don’t think too hard about the science. Or the cloning.
Migration (2023)
What if a duck family took a road trip? That’s Migration in a nutshell—and yes, it’s way more charming than it sounds. From the same team behind Minions, this one’s a gentle, globe-hopping animated adventure about stepping out of your comfort zone and flapping into the unknown.
Kumail Nanjiani voices the anxious dad duck, while Elizabeth Banks, Awkwafina, and Danny DeVito round out the cast. The Mallards leave New England for Jamaica and along the way hit NYC, a pigeon mafia, and a bird sanctuary that’s… not what it seems. It’s colorful, breezy, and full of low-key life lessons.
Perfect for younger kids, but not totally mind-numbing for adults. It won’t change your life, but it’ll keep everyone smiling for 90 minutes.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Ah yes, climate change—but make it blockbuster. In The Day After Tomorrow, a sudden global weather shift sends New York underwater, freezes half the planet, and forces Jake Gyllenhaal to outrun a superstorm. It’s absolutely ridiculous—and kind of iconic.
Dennis Quaid plays a paleoclimatologist who warns the government too late. Wolves escape a zoo. LA gets torn apart by tornadoes. And the Statue of Liberty ends up looking like a frozen popsicle. But somehow, it all works in that early-2000s disaster-movie kind of way.
The dialogue is clunky, the science is questionable, but the spectacle? Still delivers. Grab a blanket and lean into the chaos.
I Am Legend (2007)
Will Smith alone in an empty New York City, hunting deer in Times Square and talking to mannequins—I Am Legend is peak post-apocalyptic isolation. After a virus wipes out most of humanity (and turns the rest into mutant creatures), he plays Dr. Robert Neville, the last man standing… probably.
It’s eerie, quiet, and weirdly tender. Smith carries the whole thing with a mix of tough-guy survival and genuine grief. The dog, Sam? Prepare your heart. The monsters? More tragic than terrifying, depending on which version of the ending you watch.
It’s part horror, part sci-fi, and all about what it means to be human when you’re the last one left. Still hits.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Let’s be real—by this point, you’re either all in on John Wick, or you’ve tapped out. But Chapter 4 might just be the best one yet. Keanu Reeves takes his unkillable assassin across Paris, Berlin, and Osaka in a relentless, operatic ballet of bullets, blades, and neon.
Donnie Yen shows up and nearly steals the whole movie. The fight choreography is ridiculous—in a good way. There’s a staircase scene that deserves its own Oscar. And through all the chaos, Wick’s just trying to be free. Or die trying.
If you want elegance with your carnage, this is it. Nobody does stylish violence like this franchise. Period.
And That’s a Wrap
There it is—ten Peacock picks that aren’t just background noise. Whether it’s dragons soaring through Viking skies (How to Train Your Dragon), ducks road-tripping across the East Coast (Migration), or Keanu Reeves demolishing Paris one bullet at a time (John Wick 4), this lineup covers a lot of ground.
You’ve got family-friendly animation, blockbuster mayhem, post-apocalyptic loneliness, and a rom-com action flick where Ke Huy Quan kicks people in khakis. Some are new. Some are classics. All of them are worth pressing play on.
So if your streaming queue’s been looking a little dusty, here’s your excuse to dive back in. Just maybe skip the weather-themed doom spiral before bed.
