by

Prime Video has a great selection of movies for all tastes, and these three are perfect for a cozy weekend at home. Now that October and Halloween are over, let’s switch gears from scary movies. How about a new, feel-good romance available on Prime Video to brighten things up?

This Sunday, the streaming service will add a fun, action-packed film from 2017 featuring some big names. Viewers can also enjoy a dramatic mafia movie with a powerful lead performance and strong acting throughout.

3. Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy (2025)

Let’s start with Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy. This new movie just came out on Prime Video this Wednesday, November 5th, and it’s quickly become a hit, ranking among the most-watched films globally on the streaming service. Tyler Perry not only wrote and directed the movie, but he’s also become a major force in Hollywood.

Finding Joy tells the story of Joy, a fashion designer who gets stuck in a snowstorm and unexpectedly finds love. Set during Christmastime, the movie is a delightful way to kick off the holiday season, which is just around the corner.

In Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy, viewers get a surprising twist in the main character’s romantic life, leading her in an unexpected direction. Inayah delivers a standout performance as Joy’s hilarious friend, Littia, and adds a lot of heart to the film. With its blend of different styles and its festive feel, it’s a perfect, lighthearted movie to get you in the mood for Christmas next month.

2. The Alto Knights (2025)

Now available on Prime Video after a limited theatrical release is The Alto Knights. If you enjoy gangster films like Goodfellas and The Irishman, this movie is a great choice. A major draw is Robert De Niro, who plays a dual role, making it well worth checking out.

Let me tell you, Robert De Niro is absolutely captivating as both Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, two powerful mob bosses back in the 1950s. The Alto Knights dives deep into the brutal power struggle between the heads of two families, and honestly, it delivers everything you want from a gangster film – shocking betrayals, unexpected twists, and plenty of violence. It’s a really dark film, focusing on the bitter rivalry between two men who used to be friends, and it’s a compelling watch.

This movie is a great choice for anyone who likes crime thrillers, Robert De Niro, or well-made biopics. Directed by Barry Levinson, it’s a fascinating and intricate story of betrayal and plotting, and fits right in with the current trend of biographical crime dramas.

1. Baywatch (2017)

After a suspenseful film like The Alto Knights, Prime Video subscribers can finish their weekend with a funny action-comedy: the 2017 movie Baywatch. It becomes available this Sunday and features a popular cast, including Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, and others.

When newcomer Matt Brody, played by Zac Efron, joins Mitch Buchannon’s experienced lifeguard team, his confidence quickly causes friction with the veteran leader. The team then faces a series of funny challenges and criminal problems as they work to keep the beaches and bay safe.

The movie Baywatch is based on the popular TV show of the same name. Both original stars, Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, make brief appearances in the film. With its exciting action, big-name actors, and funny lines, Baywatch is a great choice for a fun weekend finale on Prime Video.
