Prime Video is serious about you wanting to stay in this weekend and watch movies.
Watch With Us can tell because the streamer just added one of the biggest hits of 2025 — Sinners, the action-horror movie starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld.
That movie is reason enough to log on to Prime Video and chill, but two other movies are also worth your time.
The visionary sci-fi flick The Creator deserves more fans than it already has, while those craving a classic love story should find it with Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
‘Sinners’ (2025)
WWI vets Smoke and Stack Moore (Michael B. Jordan) are twin brothers who share a simple dream — to open and operate their own nightclub in 1930s Mississippi. They overcome financial hardships, not to mention a deeply racist society — to make their dream a reality. The club’s a success, but the brothers encounter a problem they’d never thought they would face — vampires! Led by the charismatic Remmick (Jack O’Connell), these vampires want more than blood — they want to take over the nightclub and turn everyone into a blooducking creature of the night. The Moore brothers don’t want that to happen, and they’ll use every weapon they have to save themselves and the rest of the town.
What more can be said about Sinners? A big box office hit, it’s also one of the most acclaimed movies of the year. That makes sense as the movie works as both an extremely entertaining vampire flick and a subtle commentary about racism and immigration in America. Director Ryan Coogler is a real virtuoso filmmaker — every shot serves a purpose, and almost every line of dialogue matters. A visual treat and a bloody good time, Sinners will make you believe in vampires again — and that studios can still make great big-budget genre movies.
Sinners is streaming on Prime Video.
‘The Creator’ (2023)
Sometime in the near future, AI has decimated a large part of the United States and, as a result, is banned throughout most of the world. New Asia, however, continues to use it to sustain their society, which puts it at odds with an increasingly aggressive U.S.-led resistance. Enter Sergeant Joshua Taylor (John David Washington), who is tasked by the U.S. military to locate a weapon that could destroy their defenses.
It doesn’t take Josh long to find the weapon, but, much to his surprise, the weapon takes the form of a young girl, Alphie (Madeleine Yuna), who has the power to control all technology. Because Alphie is an innocent bystander in all of this, Taylor is faced with a dilemma — can he kill an innocent for the greater good? And can anyone really “kill” Alphie, who isn’t really alive?
The Creator tackles classic sci-fi themes like humanity vs. technology, but places them in a slick package that utilizes every tool in the filmmaking toolbox to create its futuristic world. The visual effects were nominated for an Academy Award, and it’s the true star of The Creator. From the look of New Asia to a thrilling third act set in outer space, the special effects will make you believe in a future ruled by computers and minimalist aesthetics.

‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ (1994)
Rom-coms have long been a successful genre since the 1930s, but very few of them have been nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. One of the few exceptions was Four Weddings and a Funeral, which was nominated alongside such classics as Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption. Seen today, it fully deserved its nomination as it remains one of the funniest — and most romantic — movies ever made.
Charles (Hugh Grant) is a terminally single Londoner who is cursed with attending one wedding after another involving people he barely knows. His fortunes change when he meets Carrie (Andie MacDowell), a free-spirited American who reciprocates his advances. They fall quickly in lust and maybe love, but there’s just one small problem — Carrie is already engaged. As Charles moves from one wedding to another and then to an unplanned funeral, he’s forced to question why he can’t quite meet his perfect match.
