Not this time. Prime Video did not add a new scripted series suited to our readers this week, so the movies are where to look.

Top New Movies on Prime Video This Week

Sep 23 – The Love Hypothesis (2026)

Based on Ali Hazelwood’s best-selling novel, this romantic comedy follows a PhD student who pretends to date a standoffish young professor, only to find real feelings getting in the way. Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman lead the cast.

It is a breezy, good-humored love story that goes down easily, just the thing for an evening when you want something light. The romance stays fairly tame, though a few grown-up moments make it better suited to adults than to younger family members.

Sep 24 – The Fire Inside (2024)

This acclaimed sports drama tells the true story of Claressa Shields, the boxer from Flint, Michigan who won Olympic gold at seventeen. Directed by Rachel Morrison and written by Barry Jenkins, it stars Ryan Destiny, with Brian Tyree Henry as her devoted coach.

It is an uplifting, well-made underdog story about grit and family, the kind of film that stays with you. There is some strong language and the emotional moments hit hard, but it lands as inspiring rather than heavy.

Sep 25 – Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019)

Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1969 Los Angeles follows a fading television actor, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and his longtime stunt double, played by Brad Pitt, as the old Hollywood they know begins to change. Margot Robbie co-stars.

The 1960s setting, the music, and the movie-star chemistry make this a nostalgic treat for anyone who remembers the era. Be aware that it earns its R rating, with strong language throughout and a burst of graphic violence near the end.
