If I had to choose only one streamer to keep, it’d probably be Amazon Prime Video.
The Bezos-backed platform keeps adding tons of new films I want to watch — even the guilty pleasure ones.
Watch With Us has curated a brief list of the best new movies on Prime Video that are worth binging.
In my opinion, you can’t go wrong streaming The Conjuring: Last Rites, Regretting You or Spaceballs as you unwind this April weekend.
‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ (2025)
Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) have had it with taming poltergeists and chasing possessed dolls. They want to retire, but one disturbing case prevents them from sipping Mai-Tais on the beach. It involves their daughter, Judy (Mia Tomlinson), who experiences psychic visions of the Smurl family being terrorized by three evil ghosts. It’s an all-family affair as Ed, Lorraine and Judy help the Smurls expel these demons from their home, but will they all make it alive when the case is over?
Billed as the last Conjuring movie, Last Rites was a big hit last year, grossing nearly half a billion at the box office. While it’s not as good as the original, it’s better than most of the franchise’s entries, with an adequate amount of jump scares and creepy visuals to get under your skin. As the Warrens, Wilson and Farmiga are reliably great, convincingly selling the hocus-pocus hokum they’ve been given this time around. Their love and dedication to each other are so convincing that it will make you go on Hinge to find your own Ed or Lorraine. (I’ve looked; they aren’t there!)
The ending is surprisingly touching, with some nice callbacks to past Conjuring pictures. It’s a touching send-off that’s somewhat ruined by the fact that WB has already announced plans to make another movie in the franchise. The only thing scarier than a Miswestern ghost is a Hollywood producer with a profit margin to make.

‘Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You’ (2025)
When Morgan’s (Allison Williams) husband, Chris (Scott Eastwood), and younger sister, Jenny (Willa Fitzgerald), die in a car accident, she’s left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Helping her is her 16-year-old daughter, Clara (Mckenna Grace), and Jenny’s grieving boyfriend, Jonah (Dave Franco), but her tears soon give way to anger as she gradually discovers Chris and Jenny have been having an affair for years. What’s worse is that Chris might be the biological father of Jenny and Jonah’s newborn son, Elijah.
That’s just the main subplot in Regretting You, a faithful adaptation of an absolute bonkers of a novel from the white-hot Hoover. There’s also a flashback to an unwanted teen pregnancy and a present-day love triangle involving Clara and popular boy Miller (Mason Thames), but the main attraction is undoubtedly the revelation that Chris and Jenny were illicit lovers. It’s sensational stuff, but I’ll give Regretting You some credit — it’s never boring! The movie features a lot of pretty people falling in and out of love, and they always seem to be crying in really nice places. It’s shamelessly melodramatic and unnecessarily complicated, but it mostly succeeds as throwaway entertainment.

‘Spaceballs’ (1987)
The evil President Skroob (Mel Brooks) wants to steal planet Druidia’s air, but the only way to do so is to obtain the code to its well-guarded air shield. Skroob attempts to kidnap Druidia’s spoiled princess, Vespa (Daphne Zuniga), but he’s thwarted by Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his sidekick, Barf (John Candy), who rescue her and her robot companion, Dot Matrix (Joan Rivers). With Skroob’s army after them, the rebellious foursome find sanctuary in wise sage Yogurt’s (also Brooks) hidden base. Can Lone Starr return Vespa to her home planet in one piece — and without falling in love with her?
Even typing Spaceballs’ plot synopsis made me giggle. It’s so immature and deliberately stupid, it will make you feel like a kid again, making fart noises with your friends. Writer-director Brooks throws every kind of joke at you, from the obvious (Pizza the Hut) to the inspired (an Alien parody that turns into a musical number at a diner). It mostly works, and the cast, especially Candy and Rick Moranis as the neurotic warlord Dark Helmet, is excellent and fully in tune with Brooks’ lowbrow humor. A sequel, Spaceballs: The New One, is set for release in 2027, so spend 2026 with the original to see what all the fuss is about. May the Schwartz be with you!
