Best Movies on Prime Video Right Now

  1. The Godfather 96% · 1972 · ages 15+
    The standard against which crime dramas are measured. It's a patient, beautifully acted family story about power and loyalty, and it deserves its reputation.
  2. Memento 96% · 2000 · Rated R
    A revenge thriller told in reverse, so you're as confused as the hero, who can't form new memories. It's clever, bleak and rewards a second viewing, and it puts you inside his head.
  3. Project Hail Mary 96% · 2026 · ages 9+
    A big, warm space adventure about a lone astronaut who wakes up with no memory and a world to save. It mixes clever science, humour and an unlikely friendship, and it's a joy.
  4. Interstellar 95% · 2014 · ages 10+
    Nolan's space epic works as a big-screen spectacle and as a story about a father trying to get home to his kids. The science is bold, the emotion is real, and it earns its length.
  5. Terminator 2: Judgment Day 95% · 1991 · ages 15+
    A reprogrammed Terminator protects a boy from a shape-shifting killer, in one of the best action sequels ever made. It's thrilling, inventive and has real heart.
  6. The Sheep Detectives 95% · 2026 · ages 6+
  7. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 94% · 1989 · ages 11+
    A fast, funny, warm adventure in which Indiana Jones searches for the Holy Grail with his father. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery's pairing is the heart, and it's easy to see why it's loved.
  8. Pulp Fiction 93% · 1994 · ages 15+
    Tarantino's sprawling crime film is sharp, funny and violent, built around memorable conversations and a structure that jumps around in time. It's still the template for stylish crime movies.
  9. The Godfather Part II 93% · 1974 · ages 15+
    A sequel that rivals the original, cutting between young Vito's rise and Michael's slide into cold control. It's long but richly acted, and its main theme of power's cost lands hard.
  10. The Thing 93% · 1982 · ages 15+
    A paranoid, grimy sci-fi horror about an Antarctic team facing an alien that can look like anyone. The practical effects still shock, and the distrust builds with real skill.

Best TV Shows on Prime Video Right Now

  1. Invincible 100% · 2021 · ages 15+
    A very violent, surprisingly emotional animated superhero series about a teenager whose dad is the world's top hero. It's smart about what being a hero costs, and it never plays safe.
  2. Clarkson's Farm 94% · 2021 · ages 11+
  3. The Long Season 94% · 2023 · ages 11+
  4. The Boys 93% · 2019 · ages 15+
    A savage, funny superhero satire about powerful heroes who are corrupt celebrities and the ordinary people fighting back. Sharp, shocking and often very dark, with a great villain.
  5. House 93% · 2004 · ages 12+
    A sharp medical mystery built around a brilliant, rude doctor. Hugh Laurie carries it, and the weekly case structure makes it easy to dip into or binge.
  6. The Chosen 93% · 2019 · ages 8+
  7. Mouse 93% · 2021 · ages 14+
  8. No One Will Miss Us 93% · 2024 · ages 12+
  9. Supernatural 92% · 2005 · ages 12+
    Two brothers drive across America hunting monsters, and it's a creepy, funny, family-focused show that lasted fifteen seasons. The early seasons are the strongest, and later ones get repetitive.
  10. Bones 92% · 2005 · ages 12+
    A forensic anthropologist and an FBI agent solve murders from bones. It's a comfortable procedural with likeable leads and a slow-burn romance, and a lot of episodes. It rewards fans of the case-of-the-week format.

Best Family Movies & Shows on Prime Video

  1. The Sheep Detectives 95% · 2026 · ages 6+
  2. The Chosen 93% · 2019 · ages 8+
  3. Raiders of the Lost Ark 92% · 1981 · ages 8+
    The template for the modern adventure film. Fast, funny and endlessly inventive, with a hero who gets beaten up as much as he wins. It still plays brilliantly decades on.
  4. The Wild Robot 91% · 2024 · all ages
    A beautiful, moving animated story about a robot learning to be a parent to an orphaned gosling. It's funny, sincere and handsome to look at, and works for children and adults alike.
  5. It's a Wonderful Life 91% · 1946 · ages 6+
    A Christmas classic that earns its tears. It's sentimental, yes, but it's also surprisingly dark about a good man who feels trapped, and the ending lands because the film has been honest.
  6. City Lights 91% · 1931 · all ages
  7. The Nanny 91% · 1993 · ages 6+
  8. Everybody Hates Chris 91% · 2005 · ages 8+
