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 June 15-21, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
The Accountant 2 (2025)
You know how sometimes a sequel shows up years later and you’re like, “Wait, really?” That’s The Accountant 2—but surprise, it kind of rules. Ben Affleck is back as Christian Wolff, the autistic math savant-slash-action machine who makes forensic accounting look cool (somehow). This time around, he’s teamed up with Jon Bernthal as Braxton, his mercenary brother with a grudge and a gun, and the dynamic between them? Absolutely feral in the best way.
Director Gavin O’Connor doesn’t mess with the formula too much—there’s still number crunching, mob ties, and lots of bodies—but it’s sharper now, more personal. The fight scenes are brutal, the plot twists feel earned, and there’s actual emotional depth underneath all the spreadsheets and silencers.
If you liked the first one, this sequel gives you more of what worked, but with higher stakes and better brotherly chaos. It’s like Rain Man if both guys were carrying assault rifles.
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
This is the kind of movie that feels like it’s smoking a cigarette while side-eyeing you. To Live and Die in L.A. is all heat and grit—an ‘80s crime thriller from William Friedkin (yeah, The Exorcist guy) that drops you into a sun-blasted world of counterfeit money, dirty agents, and nihilism with a badge.
William Petersen plays a Secret Service agent who’s lost all sense of chill after his partner gets murdered. So he goes full rogue to bring down Willem Dafoe’s counterfeiting artist-slash-psychopath, who, by the way, oozes menace in every frame. The car chase? Unreal. The synth score? Straight vibes. And the ending? Let’s just say it doesn’t flinch.
If you like your thrillers sweaty, stylish, and morally messed up, this is essential viewing. Think Heat meets Drive, but angrier.
The Idea of You (2024)
Yes, the lead singer kind of looks like Harry Styles. No, that’s not the point. The Idea of You might have started as “the hot pop star falls for a 40-year-old mom” story, but it ends up being a whole lot more than that. Anne Hathaway plays Solène, a divorced art gallery owner who ends up in a whirlwind romance with boy band heartthrob Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine) after a very accidental meet-cute at Coachella.
What follows is glossy and swoony, sure, but it also takes real swings at how society treats women “of a certain age.” The media chaos, the judgment, the double standards—it all lands. Hathaway and Galitzine have serious heat, and their relationship never feels like a gimmick.
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by what you “should” want at 40, this one might surprise you. It’s sexy, emotional, and way smarter than the tabloid pitch makes it sound.
Bottoms (2023)
This movie is completely unhinged—in the best way possible. Bottoms is like if Fight Club was written by horny, queer theater kids. Two high school lesbians (Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri) start a self-defense club to hook up with cheerleaders, but it quickly devolves into a gloriously bloody satire of teen movie tropes, gender roles, and sports bro culture.
There’s not a single sincere football coach speech. There are, however, cheerleaders body-slamming bullies, absurd fight scenes, and jokes that come faster than you can keep up with. But somehow, it’s not just chaos for chaos’s sake—there’s real heart underneath the madness.
If Booksmart, Heathers, and Dodgeball had a baby, and that baby was really, really gay, it would be Bottoms. It’s dumb in a genius way. Or genius in a dumb way. Either way, it slaps.
Saltburn (2023)
This movie is like drinking champagne with a knife hidden in the glass. Saltburn follows Oliver (Barry Keoghan), a working-class Oxford student who gets pulled into the orbit of Felix (Jacob Elordi), a rich, golden-boy classmate with a sprawling estate and a family straight out of a fever dream. What starts as a summer of privilege quickly turns dark, weird, and deeply twisted.
Director Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) isn’t here to play it safe. This is a full-blown psychological descent—equal parts sexy, sinister, and hilarious in the most uncomfortable ways. There’s voyeurism, obsession, and one hell of a bathtub scene.
If you liked The Talented Mr. Ripley but wished it had more eyeliner and TikTok energy, Saltburn is your kind of chaos. Just be warned: it gets weird.
Totally Killer (2023)
Imagine Back to the Future—but with a masked killer and way more neon. Totally Killer drops Kiernan Shipka into a time-traveling slasher flick where the stakes are both personal and bloody. Her character, Jamie, zips back to 1987 to stop a string of murders that targeted her mom’s teenage friends. It’s got that classic “mess with the past, risk erasing yourself” tension—but with jokes, leg warmers, and a whole lot of fake blood.
Director Nahnatchka Khan (who gave us Always Be My Maybe) balances horror and comedy like a pro. It’s never too scary, but it’s just creepy enough to keep your pulse up. Shipka sells the whole thing with deadpan delivery and genuine heart, especially in scenes with her mom’s younger self (played by Olivia Holt).
If you like your slashers with sarcasm—and a killer soundtrack—this one’s a no-brainer. Literally and figuratively.
Sitting in Bars with Cake (2023)
This is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. You think it’s gonna be quirky and cute (and it is, at first)—two best friends bring cakes into bars to help one of them meet people—but then it takes a sharp left turn into real-life heartbreak. When one friend gets a cancer diagnosis, what started as a social experiment turns into a story about love, loss, and showing up for your person when everything else falls apart.
Yara Shahidi and Odessa A’zion carry the whole thing with zero pretension. Their friendship feels lived-in and raw. And yes, it’s about grief—but it’s also full of color, joy, and weird little moments that feel like life itself.
Think Beaches with a modern glow-up. If you’ve ever laughed through tears—or cried over cake—this one’s got you.
Judy Blume Forever (2023)
You don’t have to be a lifelong Judy Blume reader to get pulled into this one. Judy Blume Forever is part biography, part love letter, and part mic drop on how one woman’s books shaped an entire generation of kids—especially girls—trying to figure out their bodies, their feelings, and their place in the world.
Through interviews with famous fans (hi, Lena Dunham, Molly Ringwald, Samantha Bee), the film shows just how radical Blume’s honesty was—and how controversial it still is in some corners. There’s joy here, and reverence, but also a bit of fire. Because Blume didn’t just write about puberty—she fought for the right to say the stuff adults wanted to hush.
If you ever dog-eared Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., this will hit you right in the nostalgia. If you didn’t? You’ll still leave wondering why we don’t have more writers like her.
I Want You Back (2022)
What happens when two freshly dumped people decide to sabotage their exes’ new relationships? Absolute chaos—and somehow, a pretty great rom-com. I Want You Back pairs Jenny Slate and Charlie Day as heartbroken strangers who form a messy little alliance to win back their former partners. Spoiler: not everything goes according to plan.
It’s a classic “what could go wrong?” setup, but the script is sharp, and Slate and Day bring just the right mix of awkwardness and emotional honesty. It’s funny, a little cringey, surprisingly tender—and yes, there’s karaoke.
If you’re tired of rom-coms that feel like they were written by an algorithm, this one’s got soul. It’s not about finding perfect love. It’s about the beautiful disaster of trying.
A Hero (2021)
This one moves quietly—but it cuts deep. From Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, The Salesman), A Hero tells the story of a man named Rahim who’s in jail over a debt he can’t repay. When he finds a bag of gold coins and tries to return them, the world sees him as a hero. But the truth? It’s complicated.
What unfolds is part character study, part social commentary—about honor, manipulation, and the fine line between doing the right thing and being seen doing the right thing. Amir Jadidi gives a knockout performance that’s understated and devastating.
It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But if you let it, it’ll stay with you. Like a question you can’t quite shake.
And That’s a Wrap
So yeah, that’s your Prime Video lineup—ten films that actually go somewhere. Not just content for the sake of content, but movies with bite, heart, and something real to chew on. Whether it’s the dark decadence of Saltburn, the slow-burn suspense of A Hero, or the queer chaos of Bottoms, every pick here brings something to the table.
You’ve got action with depth (The Accountant 2), love stories that push back (The Idea of You), smart satire (Totally Killer, I Want You Back), and docs that stick with you (Judy Blume Forever). Some will make you cry. Some will make you rewind. A few might make you text a friend mid-watch just to say, “Wait, what?!”
So if your “Continue Watching” row is looking a little tired, now’s the time to shake it up. Whether you’re in the mood to laugh, scream, cry, or time travel with a knife-wielding maniac—there’s something here that’ll meet you where you’re at.
Pick your vibe. Press play. Let it hit.
