Best Prime Video top 10 movies to stream right now
'Regretting You' (2025)
"Regretting You" is still at the top of Prime Video's movie chart, and if you're after romance, you might want to add it to your list. It comes recommended by our Senior Entertainment Editor, Rory Mellon, too. When it first landed on the streaming service, he said: "I found myself getting swept up in the drama and intensity" (even if he conceded it has "major flaws").
If you're not familiar with the film, "Regretting You" is an adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel. It introduces us to the Grant family — mother Morgan (Allison Williams), father Chris (Scott Eastwood), and daughter Clara (McKenna Grace) — plus Morgan’s sister, Jenny (Willa Fitzergerald), and her partner, Jonah (Dave Franco). After a car accident reveals a betrayal, the remaining members of the family are left trying to pick up the pieces and move on from their once-perfect life. And it's in that moment that Clara connects with a local bad boy, Miller Adams (Mason Thames).

'The Equalizer' (2014)
Prime Video's top 10 movies list is stuffed with action movies right now, and one of the best picks in the charts has to be "The Equalizer."
Antoine Fuqua's action thriller sees Denzel Washington taking on the role of ex-Marine Robert McCall. While McCall has dedicated himself to leading a quieter life, he meets a teenager (Chloë Grace Moretz) who's being trafficked by violent mobsters, and he simply cannot walk away from the situation. Thus, he comes out of retirement and returns to action, exacting vigilante justice on criminals that cross his path and helping those in need.
Oh, and if you enjoy "The Equalizer" and fancy a double feature, you could always follow it up with the sequel, which is also in the charts.

'The Running Man' (2025)
If you're after even more action, you might want to check out Edgar Wright's take on "The Running Man," which is still in the top 10 weeks after the film first landed on Prime Video.
If you missed "The Running Man" last year and you're yet to stream it, this high-octane watch sees angry, down-on-his-luck everyman Ben Richards (Glen Powell) taking part in a deadly gameshow beloved by the population, just to try and win the cash he needs to buy some medicine for his sick daughter. His task? Go on for 30 days and avoid being taken out by the lethal "Hunters" who are out to get him for 30 days. Early on his run, Ben proves far more resilient than he first appeared, and he becomes a huge hit with the viewers at home... making him a threat to "The Network" and everything they've built in this dystopian near-future.
