The weekend is finally here, and that means it’s time to plop down on the couch and catch up on the latest movies across the best streaming services. Prime Video’s library of new offerings isn’t as stacked as last week’s, but you can still find plenty of worthwhile watches to make your next movie night one to remember.
I’ve gone through all of Prime Video’s latest feature-length additions and found three movies that deserve a spot on your watchlist this week. My picks offer a little something for whatever vibe you’re in, from a self-aware action comedy to a romantic melodrama that’ll get you in the holiday spirit.
Best movies to watch on Prime Video this weekend
‘Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy’ (2025)
Watch On
Whether you love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t deny that Tyler Perry knows his audience. After a string of hit movies on Netflix, he’s back with a new romantic melodrama that’ll thaw your heart this holiday season. “P-Valley’s” Shannon Thornton stars as a New York fashion designer named Joy whose career and love life have stalled out. She tails her questionable crush (Aaron O’Connell) to Colorado only to get snowed in for the holidays. Naturally, in swoops her reluctant prince charming (Tosin Morohunfola) to save the day, Hallmark Christmas movie style, and she finds herself in the kind of whirlwind romance she’s only ever read about before.

‘The Alto Knights’ (2025)
Watch On
“The Alto Knights” is the kind of old-school mob drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore While it was a flop at the box office, its 71% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes suggests Robert De Niro’s latest is finding its audience on streaming. Directed by Barry Levinson and written by “Goodfellas” co-writer Nicholas Pileggi, this 1950s biographical crime saga sees De Niro pulling double duty as rival mob bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, who are locked in a power struggle for control of the Big Apple. When Costello announces his retirement, Genovese suspects it’s a ploy and begins scheming to take him out. His scheme kicks off a power struggle that comes to a head in the notorious 1957 Apalachin mob summit — a turning point that forever changed organized crime in America.

‘Baywatch’ (2017)
Watch On
The iconic ’90s TV series splashed onto the big screen with 2017’s “Baywatch,” and while it may have wiped out at the box office, you can still expect plenty of self-aware humor and sunny spectacle. This over-the-top action comedy follows an elite team of lifeguards led by the legendary Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson), who take beach patrol to ridiculous new heights. When a string of suspicious deaths rattles their shore, Mitch teams up with his newest recruits, including former Olympian Matt Brody (Zac Efron), to get to the bottom of things. The crew must ditch their bathing suits and go undercover against a ruthless businesswoman and drug trafficker (Priyanka Chopra) to have any hope of saving their beach.
