15. Sound of Metal
Riz Ahmed is astonishing as Ruben, a heavy-metal drummer who suddenly loses his hearing. The sound design of this film is so enveloping, it more or less puts you in his head. With a scene-stealing performance by Olivia Cooke and a narrative that walks the line between heartbreak and hope, this is one of the most emotionally affecting dramas of the past several years.
14. The Report
Adam Driver leads this intense political drama as the man behind the Senate’s investigation into CIA interrogation tactics post-9/11. It’s a sharp, unflinching portrayal of truth-seeking amid government resistance—tight, timely, and incredibly well-acted.
13. One Night in Miami…
Regina King’s directorial debut is her imagining of an actual encounter between four icons—Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Muhammad Ali. The movie takes place primarily in one room, embracing its stage-play origins but landing on big, powerhouse performances that feel anything but intimate.
12. Thirteen Lives
Director Ron Howard dramatizes the terrifying 2018 Thai cave rescue with a suspenseful, true-to-the-events retelling. Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, and Joel Edgerton head a star-studded cast in an edge-of-your-seat survival tale that will leave you gasping.
11. Coming 2 America
Eddie Murphy returns as King Akeem in this long-gestating sequel that plays to nostalgia but infuses it with new energy and a contemporary sense of perspective. It’s witty, clever, and a surprisingly good reboot of the original.
10. Nanny
Anna Diop leads this slow-burning, psychologically complex horror film about a Senegalese nanny trying to find her footing in NYC. Visually gorgeous and profoundly disturbing, Nanny employs genre to examine themes of immigration, motherhood, and survival with eerily intense claustrophobia.
9. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
Sacha Baron Cohen’s ridiculous Kazakh reporter is back, this time with a teenage daughter and a task to skewer American culture—once again. It’s mad, cringe-making, and surprisingly touching, with a satirical sting that feels all too credible.
8. Shin Masked Rider
From Evangelion designer Hideaki Anno comes a dark, thoughtful reinterpretation of the original Japanese superhero. More visceral, more sinister, it’s a different trip for those who want something away from the standard Caped Crusader experience.
7. Red, White & Royal Blue
This delightful rom-com brings together the U.S. First Son and a British prince in a whirlwind romance filled with political intrigue, PR disasters, and swoony moments. It’s pure comfort TV—over-the-top, sweet, and impossible not to love.
6. A Million Miles Away
Michael Peña leads in this heartwarming true tale of José Hernández, a migrant farmworker who became an astronaut for NASA. It’s an inspiring, uplifting movie about determination, family, and the long journey to reaching your goal.
5. The Burial
Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones are a believable team in this incisive courtroom drama based on actual events. Combining humor and social commentary, The Burial is surprisingly sentimental—and Jurnee Smollett almost steals the film as a tough legal adversary.
4. Saltburn
Half black comedy, half psychological thriller, Saltburn is a twisted, dark story of wealth and obsession. Barry Keoghan is mesmerizing and disturbing to watch, and the visually distinctive film further enhances the creepy, voyeuristic atmosphere.
3. The Idea of You
Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine share undeniable chemistry in this romantic drama about a gallery owner who falls for a much younger pop star. It manipulates rom-com clichés but delivers a surprisingly mature interpretation of love, fame, and second chances.
2. My Old Ass
Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella excel in this offbeat coming-of-age tale in which a teen encounters her future self while on a psychedelic journey. It’s witty, candid, and heartwarming—all of which make it ideal for anyone dwelling on the grand “what ifs” of growing up.
1. Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time
The epic final chapter to Hideaki Anno’s Evangelion saga is an emotional and visual assault on the senses. Brimming with jaw-dropping animation and weighty existential themes, this is a must-see conclusion for long-time fans—and a befitting conclusion to one of anime’s most beloved series.
Whether you’re looking for a deep-thinking drama, a psychedelic journey, or just something to make you laugh, Prime Video’s movie selection has it all for every type of film fan. Let your next marathon binge session start.
