January is here, and that means it's a new year and there are a ton of new movies on Prime Video. Dozens of films have been added to the Amazon streaming service since the month started, and you might be struggling to find out where to start watching first.
Well, I have some good news for you. I've scoured the full list of everything new on Prime Video in January 2026 and found a few movies that are a cut above the rest. All seven movies below are rated 85% fresh or higher by critics on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. That doesn't mean they're perfect, but it does mean there's a good chance you'll come away satisfied after watching these films. I've also seen most of these myself, so I can personally vouch for at least a few of them.
