3 Movies on Prime Video Perfect for Your Week’s Watchlist

Out of the countless options available, there are a few Prime Video movies that viewers simply should not miss. The platform offers an extraordinary variety, ranging from action-packed blockbusters like Reacher to critically acclaimed dramas such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Its expansive library caters to every taste, making it a definitive destination for entertainment seekers.
Yet, these three Prime Video movies exemplify the platform’s clear mastery in delivering quality storytelling, immersive visuals, and unforgettable performances.
1. The LEGO Movie
Emmet, an ordinary and obedient LEGO mini-figure voiced by Chris Pratt, is mistakenly identified as the 'Special,' the chosen one destined to save the LEGO universe from Lord Business, portrayed by Will Ferrell. The story combines action, adventure, and humor with emotional resonance.
The animation in The LEGO Movie is visually ingenious, designed to replicate physical LEGO bricks, complete with fingerprints and scratches. This meticulous attention to detail demonstrates the filmmakers’ dedication to creating an immersive, realistic miniature world.
Not to mention, the voice cast elevates the film. It includes Elizabeth Banks as Wyldstyle, Will Arnett as Batman, and Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius. Their performances contribute to both comedic timing and emotional depth, making the narrative engaging for viewers of all ages.
The film is also critically acclaimed, as it holds a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and won the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. With over $470.7 million in global box office revenue, it is both a commercial and critical triumph, ideal for weekend viewing.
2. The Na--- Gun
The Na--- Gun reboot introduces Frank Drebin Jr., played by Liam Neeson, who must thwart a tech terrorist plot while navigating absurd, nonsensical situations. The film revives the classic slapstick humor of the original Zucker/Abrahams comedies.
Director Akiva Schaffer crafts each scene with intentional absurdity, incorporating visual gags, puns, and over-the-top scenarios. Pamela Anderson’s cameo and Paul Walter Hauser’s supporting performance enhance the comedic atmosphere and elevate the parody’s charm.
The cast’s chemistry, especially Liam Neeson’s deadpan delivery, creates a rare modern spoof that appeals to nostalgia and fresh humor alike. Kevin Durand’s villainous antics perfectly complement the film’s playful tone and exaggerated situations.
Critically well-received, the film earned $102.1 million worldwide and became the third highest-grossing live-action comedy of 2025. With a 6.9 IMDb rating, it provides effortless escapism, making it a must-watch for viewers seeking stress-free entertainment on Prime Video.
3. Smile 2
Skye Riley, global pop sensation, confronts a horrifying 'smile' curse as her world tour looms. Naomi Scott’s performance transforms ordinary terror into a visceral, almost unbearable exploration of fear and fame.
Parker Finn’s direction employs massive set pieces and electronic scoring to disorient viewers, using unnervingly bright spaces to deliver the kind of fright that lingers long after the credits roll.
Scott’s acting brilliance, supported by Rosemarie DeWitt and Kyle Gallner, renders both psychological horror and cultural satire, exposing the dark underbelly of celebrity life and societal insistence on perpetual cheer.
With an 86% Rotten Tomatoes rating and $138.1 million in worldwide earnings, Smile 2 dominates 2024 horror openings, securing its status as a must-watch film for thoughtful weekend viewing.
