It’s a new week, and Rachel Morrison’s sweeping romantic drama Love of Your Life is once again the number one movie on Prime Video. Margaret Qualley stars as Maya, following the ups and downs of her life, from a whirlwind romance to heartbreak and beyond. The movie has been very well-received by both critics and audiences, but in case that doesn’t sound like what you’re in the mood for, there’s still a lot more to explore in the streaming service’s catalog. Here’s a look at three great movies that we think you should watch on Prime Video this week.
Written, directed, and produced by Ti West, Maxxxine is the third and final installment of his X Trilogy, following 2022’s X and Pearl, and is the direct sequel to X. Bringing back Mia Goth as the film’s titular final girl, Maxxxine follows the adult film star and aspiring actress in 1980s Hollywood as she strives for her big break while being targeted by a mysterious killer who threatens to expose the sins of her past. Besides Goth, the film also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Bacon, Michelle Monaghan, and more in key roles.
Maxxxine became the highest-grossing film of the series and was a huge hit at the time of its release. The movie excels as a love letter to ’80s pulp noir, with its creepy and campy aesthetic and high-energy storytelling that slasher fans will instantly fall in love with. The film has earned praise for Goth’s central performance and Bacon’s compelling portrayal of a slimy private investigator, though it also received criticism for the weakness of its horror elements in comparison to previous movies in the series.
Collider Exclusive · James Bond Personality Quiz Which James Bond Actor Are You Most Like? Connery · Moore · Dalton · Brosnan · Lazenby · Craig
Six actors. Six completely different visions of the same man — dangerous, charming, complicated, and almost certainly wearing a very good suit. Only one of them shares your particular way of moving through the world. Eight questions will figure out which Bond you really are.
🏴Connery
😄Moore
🎭Dalton
✨Brosnan
🤵Lazenby
💠Craig
01
How do you carry yourself when you walk into a room? Bond is always the most interesting person in the room. The question is how he makes you feel it.
02
How do you handle a dangerous situation? Every Bond faces it differently. What does your version look like?
03
How do you charm someone you need on your side? Bond always gets what he needs. The method varies considerably.
04
How do you handle your emotions on the job? Every Bond deals with this differently. Most of them not particularly well.
05
How would your colleagues describe your working style? MI6 has opinions about all of its 00s. What are theirs about you?
06
How do you feel about operating within the rules? The licence to kill comes with terms and conditions. Not everyone reads them.
07
What is your relationship with love? Every Bond has a different answer. None of them have found it easy.
08
When the mission is over, how do you want to be remembered? The name is Bond. The rest is entirely up to the man behind it.
The Name Has Been Determined Your Bond Is…
Six actors. One role. Your answers point to the Bond who shares your presence, your method, and your particular way of carrying the weight of being the most dangerous person in the room.
Dr. No — You Only Live Twice · 1962–1967
Sean Connery
You are the original — and you carry that fact without needing to announce it. There is an authority in the way you occupy a room that others spend careers trying to replicate.
You don’t explain yourself, justify yourself, or soften yourself for anyone’s comfort. The confidence is structural, not performed.
Connery’s Bond established everything — the tone, the danger, the cool — because Connery himself had the innate presence to make something that had never existed feel inevitable.
You share that quality: the sense that you were always going to end up exactly here, doing exactly this.
The name is Bond. In your case, it always was.
Live and Let Die — A View to a Kill · 1973–1985
Roger Moore
You understand something that more serious people miss: that wit is its own form of intelligence, and that making people laugh is not a retreat from danger but a way of mastering it.
Moore’s Bond is underrated precisely because the effortlessness looks easy — and effortlessness is the hardest thing to manufacture.
You have the same quality: a lightness that disarms people before they realise how sharp you actually are.
The raised eyebrow, the perfectly timed quip, the refusal to be rattled — these are not affectations. They are a philosophy about how to move through a world that would like to take itself too seriously.
You have never let it.
The Living Daylights · Licence to Kill · 1987–1989
Timothy Dalton
You took the role seriously when everyone wanted you to coast — and that refusal to take the easy version of anything is the most defining thing about you.
Dalton’s Bond has genuine moral weight: he feels the cost of what he does, he has lines he won’t cross, and he is not interested in the version of himself that pretends otherwise.
You share that intensity. You push harder than the situation technically requires, because you have a standard and you hold yourself to it.
He was ahead of his time — the Bond the franchise wasn’t quite ready for yet, arriving exactly when he was meant to.
You know what that feels like.
GoldenEye — Die Another Day · 1995–2002
Pierce Brosnan
You are the complete package — and you know it, which is part of what makes you so effective and occasionally so infuriating to the people around you.
Brosnan arrived at the role looking exactly like Bond was supposed to look, and he delivered on that expectation with a professionalism that made it seem effortless.
You have the same quality: a smooth competence, a charm that operates like a precision instrument, and the ability to make even difficult things look like they weren’t.
His era was the most commercially successful in the franchise’s history. There is a reason for that.
The reason is that some people simply fit their moment perfectly. You are one of those people.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service · 1969
George Lazenby
You stepped into something enormous with less preparation than anyone around you thought was sufficient — and you delivered something genuine anyway, which is the more impressive achievement.
Lazenby’s single outing is, by many measures, one of the finest Bond films ever made — and he is not a small part of why.
You share his quality of raw authenticity: less polished than the alternatives, more honest for it, capable of something real that technique alone can’t produce.
He was underestimated, and then he wasn’t, and then history caught up with him.
You are the kind of person history catches up with. Give it time.
Casino Royale — No Time to Die · 2006–2021
Daniel Craig
You stripped everything back and found what was underneath — and what was underneath was harder, more honest, and more human than anyone expected.
Craig’s Bond is the franchise’s most psychologically complete: a man doing a brutal job, carrying its costs imperfectly, capable of love and loss in ways that can’t be dismissed.
You share that depth. You don’t hide behind the role or the charm or the suit — you let the work show what it actually costs.
He was controversial from the moment he was announced and definitive by the time he was finished. The sceptics became the believers.
That arc — of being underestimated and then undeniable — is one you know intimately.

‘Skyfall’ (2012)
In his third outing as the legendary British spy, Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Skyfall, which marks the 23rd film in the Bond film series produced by Eon. Directed by Sam Mendes from an original screenplay, the film follows the elite MI6 agent as he investigates several data leaks and cyberattacks on MI6, masterminded by Raoul Silva, an ex-MI6 operative turned cyberterrorist. Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Judi Dench, and Ben Whishaw also star in significant roles.
Skyfall ranks among the best Bond films of all time, and the best of those starring Craig, with an emotional, atmospheric, and character-driven story that’s unlike anything else in the entire franchise. Upon its premiere, the film became a massive global success, making it the first Bond film to cross the $1 billion mark and the highest-grossing film in the entire franchise. Skyfall has also been a critics’ favorite and widely praised for its direction, cinematography, and music, earning two Academy Awards for Sound Editing and Original Song.

‘The Idea of You’ (2024)
A hit romantic comedy drama of 2024, The Idea of You is Michael Showalter’s adaptation of the book by actress-author Robinne Lee. The film centers on the secret, whirlwind romance between Solène, a 40-year-old art gallery owner, and the 24-year-old lead singer of a popular boy band. Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine star as the main characters, with Ella Rubin, Annie Mumolo, and Reid Scott in other notable roles.
Anchored by the delightful performances, The Idea of You is a feel-good, carefree love story that’s a perfect film to cozy up with your partner and watch. A crowd-pleaser at the time of its release, the film ranked among the most popular rom-coms of this decade, with critics praising Showalter’s direction and the strong chemistry between Hathaway and Galitzine. Even though the film sometimes struggles with balancing the serious themes and the fun romance, it never loses its heart or its message of self-discovery.
