There’s a new number one movie on Prime Video this week: the brand-new romantic drama The Last Sunrise. Adapted from Anna Todd’s 2025 novel, the film stars Maia Reficco as a young woman with chronic health problems who heads to Mallorca with her overprotective mom (Eva Longoria) and finds unexpected romance with charismatic local Juliàn García (Fernando Líndez). Despite largely unfavorable critical reviews, the movie has been quite successful with Prime Video subscribers since its premiere last week. However, if that doesn’t sound like what you’re in the mood for right now, there’s still plenty more to explore on the streaming service. Here’s a look at three great movies that we think you should watch on Prime Video this week.

Every decade has its cinematic touchstones that establish its placement in movie history. The 1980s were no different. The decade saw an extraordinary number of sensational films that shaped Hollywood history. The decade featured feel-good films, high-concept original stories, groundbreaking practical effects, and the precursor to the rise of box office blockbusters. Through bold storytelling, earnest characters, and niche genres coming to the surface, the big screen ruled the '80s.

5 Movie Trilogies That Ended Poorly

Trilogies are a highly coveted form of storytelling that have captured the interest of Hollywood for decades. While the Star Wars original trilogy is what is often thought of as the launch of the trend, it tracks back even further to Sanjitay Ray’s “Apu Trilogy” and Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Western “The Man With No Name Trilogy.” A great film trilogy is defined by having three installments that are of relatively equal quality, which is surprisingly rare. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is perhaps the best example because all three films are masterpieces, and there is a case to be made that any of them is the best. There’s also instances in which there is a clear demarcation line of quality, even if the films are all at least “good.” An example of this is Back to the Future; the first film is the only one that could be reasonably listed among the greatest of all-time, but both sequels are still strong in their own right.

Action movies have excitement on lock. No genre of movie can get pulses racing and fists pumping like action can. Car chases, gunfights and hand-to-hand combat are all the elements that make for exciting entertainment, and they all feature in some of the most exciting action movies in film history.

Spaceships, cloning labs, memory-erasing machines, they all show up somewhere on this list. But ask what any of these six movies is actually about and you'll end up talking about grief, or power, or what's left of someone once you strip away the thing that made them feel human, long before anyone brings up the actual technology.

The 10 Greatest Performances Across the Entire MCU, Ranked

David Caballero — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:41:11 GMT

The MCU is nearing its twentieth anniversary, and it's quite incredible to look back and consider everything it has achieved thus far. It's no exaggeration to call it the most successful franchise in cinema, not to mention the only one that has made the idea of a true, interconnected cinematic universe work across movies and TV. The upcoming release of Avengers: Doomsday will represent the MCU's latest triumph, and considering how successful Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been, the hype for the franchise is still at an all-time high.

3 Greatest Movies to Watch on Netflix This September

Jake Hodges — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:19:11 GMT

Last weekend, Ridley Scott made his return to the sci-fi genre with The Dog Stars, hoping to compete with the all-conquering Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Alas, it wasn't to be for the Hollywood veteran, as this newest sci-fi epic crashed and burned before it had truly taken off. The film earned just $8 million domestically in its first weekend, finishing fifth in the box office charts behind the likes of Insidious: Out of the Further, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, and the aforementioned Brand New Day. With the newest box office epic unable to make an impact, perhaps you're better off staying in and getting your movie fix from the comfort of your own couch. With that in mind, here's a list of three movies you should stream on Netflix this September.

Eddie Possehl — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:13:11 GMT

Being the most profitable and one of the most popular superheroes on the planet, it's no surprise that Spider-Man has some incredibly high-grossing films. Whenever this hero hits the big screen, it's pretty much guaranteed that the film will make its money back and then some. Indeed, any Spidey adventure is usually one of the highest-grossing films of the year it's released in, with his newest outing even being in the top five highest-grossing movies of all time.

Every Guy Ritchie War Movie, Ranked

Liam Gaughan — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:11:11 GMT

Guy Ritchie has a singular style of filmmaking that combines action, comedy, mystery, and suspense, and he’s essentially become his own genre. Ritchie first exploded on to the British cinema scene with his groundbreaking first two features Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which reinvented the London crime subgenre in the post-Quentin Tarantino era where genre thrillers were expected to be propulsive and quippy. His career only got more fascinating from then on out; although Ritchie spent several years making major blockbusters with more significant budgets, he eventually returned to his roots by making smaller, darkly humorous gangster and crime films.
