‘No Time to Die’ (2021)

Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 is a 2021 spy epic directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, closing out the character arc that began with ‘Casino Royale.’ The film premiered in late September 2021 in the UK before rolling out worldwide and ultimately grossing over $774 million. It later arrived on digital and disc, then on major streaming storefronts including Prime. If you’re catching up, this is the capstone to the Craig era.

‘Play Dirty’ (2025)

Shane Black’s heist thriller adapts Richard Stark’s Parker novels, with Mark Wahlberg as the master thief and LaKeith Stanfield as Grofield. Released via Prime Video in October 2025, it brings the hard-boiled caper template to streaming with a cast that also includes Rosa Salazar and Keegan-Michael Key. Black co-wrote the script and directs, connecting the film to his track record of crime-tinged action. It’s a recent, direct-to-Prime drop built around a classic literary antihero.

‘A Working Man’ (2025)

Directed by David Ayer and starring Jason Statham, this action thriller adapts Chuck Dixon’s “Levon’s Trade.” The story follows a construction worker and ex-special operator drawn into a rescue mission against human traffickers. After its theatrical window, it became available to buy or rent digitally and later to stream on Prime. If you’re into no-nonsense action with a lone-wolf lead, this fits the bill.

‘The Woman in the Yard’ (2025)

Jaume Collet-Serra directs this Blumhouse psychological horror starring Danielle Deadwyler as a woman confronted by a cryptic intruder who declares, “today’s the day.” Released by Universal in March 2025, the film later moved quickly to digital purchase and rental, including on Prime. It runs a tight 87 minutes and leans on mood, paranoia, and a single-location setup. For horror fans, it’s a recent thriller with an efficient, eerie hook.

‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ (2023)

Illumination and Nintendo’s animated feature reintroduces Mario, Luigi, and company with a brisk, colorful adventure that became a global box-office juggernaut in 2023. Voice leads include Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black. Following its massive theatrical run, it landed on digital platforms—including Prime—for home viewing. If you missed it in theaters, this is the streamlined, family-friendly watch on the list.

‘Wicked’ (2024)

Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. The movie brings the Oz-set prequel’s signature numbers to the screen with a production built for widescreen spectacle. Prime Video offers a Bonus X-Ray Edition with sing-along features and extras for at-home viewers. It’s the franchise-scale musical event of late 2024 now available to stream.

‘Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy’ (2025)

A 2025 release from Tyler Perry, this drama arrived in early November and centers on a story of healing and personal discovery. It’s positioned within Perry’s long-running pipeline of writer-director-producer projects, now closely tied to Amazon’s distribution ecosystem. The film’s U.S. release date was November 5, 2025. If you follow Perry’s work, this slots alongside his contemporary character-driven features.

‘Red One’ (2024)

Directed by Jake Kasdan, this Christmas action-adventure teams Dwayne Johnson’s head of North Pole security with Chris Evans’s hacker to track down a kidnapped Santa. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios with an international rollout in late 2024, it blends mythic holiday lore with globe-trotting set pieces. The film features a large ensemble, including J.K. Simmons as Santa and Lucy Liu among the supporting cast. After theaters, it drew big viewing on Prime Video.

‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ (2000)

Ron Howard’s live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s classic casts Jim Carrey as the misanthropic Grinch plotting to ruin Whoville’s holiday. Released by Universal on November 17, 2000, it became a major box-office hit and a modern staple of seasonal viewing. Production leaned on elaborate sets, prosthetics, and makeup effects that defined its distinctive look. It remains a go-to family title when the holidays roll around.

‘Playdate’ (2025)

This Prime Video original is a buddy action-comedy about a stay-at-home dad who accepts a seemingly normal playdate invitation that spirals into high-stakes chaos. It’s positioned as a 2025 streaming release built for quick, punchy set-pieces and fish-out-of-water laughs. The premise pairs two dads on an unexpected adventure after an innocent meetup goes sideways. If you want something new on Prime with a light, kinetic bent, this is the pick.
