Action, adventure, animated crime fightersâthe 10 most popular movies on Amazon Prime Video this week have it all. The streaming platform features thousands upon thousands of exciting titles, but these films are piquing viewersâ interest the most at the moment.
The majority of Prime Videoâs top 10 movies fall into the action category, which isnât all that surprising, considering the genreâs seemingly growing popularity over the decades among movie fans.

The list this week includes not one, not two, but three of Tom Cruiseâs greatest hitsâtwo âMission: Impossibleâ films as well as the critically acclaimed âTop Gun: Maverick.â
Elsewhere in the action genre, the 1989 edition of âRoad House,â starring Patrick Swayze, has also made the top 10. Itâs safe to say that the filmâs much-talked-about remake, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal and will debut on Prime Video on March 21, likely has something to do with the originalâs popularity on the platform. Viewers may be curious to see how the two films stack up against one another.
