The weekend was made for movie watching, and if you're planning to settle down and stream some great movies on Prime Video, I've got three options that definitely should be under consideration.

Variety is the theme of my picks this week, as each will appeal to different tastes. There's a 2026 horror sequel that's perfect for Halloween on Saturday (Oct. 31), or if you're not feeling a scary movie, how about a romantic drama that will really tug on your heartstrings. Whereas if you just need a laugh, I've found a golden-age classic.

These are the three new-to-Prime-Video movies I recommend you watch this weekend. Don't waste your precious streaming time scrolling; get watching these movies as soon as the weekend starts.
