I'm sure I'm not the only person who regularly scrolls through the Prime Video top 10 movies while looking for something new to stream, right?
Variety is the spice of life and all the best streaming services and, like its competitors, Amazon's streamer is home to a lot of content. That's an obvious plus, but it can make choosing your next watch a bit of a headache, too.
Prime Video's top 10 lists can be a quick and easy way to see what's grabbing attention, but you can't always guarantee what's trending is worth watching. You only need to look at fellow Tom's Guide writer Rory Mellon's reaction to "Holland", Prime Video's current No. 1 movie, as proof.
That's where we come in. We keep a close eye on the Prime Video charts and regularly pull out three top recommendations.
Right now, our three Prime Video picks include a fun-filled video game adaptation perfect for the whole family, a recent blockbuster hit, and a classic action movie that's still entertaining today.
This article is based on what was in the Prime Video top 10 as of 6.30 a.m. ET on Prime Video on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' (2023)
"The Super Mario Bros. Movie" was a titanic success at the box office, and that success has been replicated with viewers at home, as Prime Video subscribers have kept it in the top 10 movies for months.
This collaboration between Nintendo and "Despicable Me" outfit, Illumination, sees the Brooklyn-based plumber (voiced by Chris Pratt) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day) journeying to the Mushroom Kingdom via a Warp Pipe.
Split off from his brother, our plucky red-hatted plumber sets out to find him, crossing paths with Bowser (Jack Black), Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), Toad (Keegan Michael-Key), Donkey Kong (Seth Rogen) and more along the way.

'Top Gun' (1986)
Tony Scott's "Top Gun" is, to me, one of the best '80s action flicks you can stream. Yeah, it might be clunky on the ground, but you cannot deny its place in the action blockbuster pantheon.
This slick action drama sees impetuous ace pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) sent to the Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School to hone his elite flying skills... where his cocky attitude and reckless approach puts him at odds with the rest of his classmates.
Even though "Top Gun: Maverick" outguns its predecessor, young Tom Cruise exudes charisma as the hot-shot, throws-the-rulebook-out pilot, and the in-air dogfights are still as thrilling as ever. Plus, it boasts one of the most iconic roles of the late, great Val Kilmer.

'Twisters' (2024)
"Twisters" has endured as a popular Prime Video watch ever since it first came to the platform, and as someone who loved its brand of blockbuster, disaster movie fun, I can see why: this is a worthy follow-up to Jan de Bon'ts 1996 thriller.
This standalone sequel revolves around meteorologist Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones). After a tragedy out in the field, she turns her back on storm-chasing until former friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) invites her back to Oklahoma to help deploy some new tornado-monitory technology.
Out there, she and Javi's crew butt heads with the team helmed by influencer and self-styled "tornado wrangler", Tyler Owens (a magnetic Glen Powell). Though they start the storm season at odds, as things worsen and more destructive twisters spin up, Kate, Tyler and Javi band together in a fight to survive a storm season unlike any other.
