The 15 best movies on Amazon Prime Video to watch in February 2026
A new action movie with Karl Urban is coming to Prime Video this month
Amazon Prime Video is home to some of the best movies on streaming – but there are a couple of new films you should check out this month, too.
Netflix may have made the most headlines at the start of the year with the ending of Stranger Things, but Prime Video hasn’t shirked on its streaming offerings.
Sophie Turner’s Steal topped the platform’s chart, and Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa starred in The Wrecking Crew.
Soon, its library will be refreshed for February, so we’ve rounded up the best movies you should watch this month.
Best movies on Amazon Prime Video (February 2026)
The Bluff
- Genre: Action
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 25)
- Cast: Priyanka Chopra, Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Córdova
- Director: Frank E. Flowers
- Runtime: TBC
What it’s about: Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a former pirate, is forced to fight to protect her family when her notorious captain resurfaces in pursuit of revenge.
Why to watch: Citadel may not have showcased Priyanka Chopra’s talents (because nobody watched it), but The Bluff should rectify that. It looks to be a blood-drenched, dizzying action romp with scenes that’ll make you cheer and wince. Plus, it helps that it has Karl Urban doing another wonderfully dodgy accent.
Relationship Goals
- Genre: Romance, Comedy
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 4)
- Cast: Kelly Rowland, Cliff ‘Method Man’ Smith, Robin Thede
- Director: Linda Mendoza
- Runtime: 1 hour 36 minutes
What it’s about: Leah Caldwell is about to make history as the first woman to run New York’s top morning show… until her ex Jarrett Roy swoops in to compete for the same position, claiming he’s been transformed by the wisdom of a best-selling book.
Why to watch: We could waste our time trying to overestimate Relationship Goals’ merits. The truth is, it looks like it’ll be the exact film you think it is: an amusing, uplifting, and slightly cheesy rom-com. Cinemas used to be full of these sorts of movies – thankfully, streaming platforms are picking up the slack.
Love Me Love Me
- Genre: Romance, Drama
- Year: 2026 (premieres February 13)
- Cast: Mia Jenkins, Pepe Barroso Silva, Luca Melucci
- Director: Roger Kumble
- Runtime: TBC
What it’s about: After her brother’s death, June moves to Milan for a fresh start and enrols at an elite international school, where she finds comfort in dating Will, the school’s perfect honour student. However, her fragile stability is shaken by a volatile rivalry with his best friend James.
Why to watch: Love Me Love Me looks like a strange, entertaining cross-section nobody realised they needed: Never Back Down MMA thrills and The Summer I Turned Pretty-esque relationship drama. It’s also based on a novel of the same name, which has been read over 23 million times.
Next Goal Wins
- Genre: Comedy, Drama
- Year: 2023 (on Prime Video from February 15)
- Cast: Michael Fassbender, Will Arnett, Elisabeth Moss
- Director: Taika Waititi
- Runtime: 1 hour 44 minutes
What it’s about: Thomas Rongen takes over as the coach of the American Samoa national football team. After a long run of losses, he tries to turn the squad around in time for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Why to watch: Next Goal Wins is a feel-good sports movie that mostly sticks to the genre’s playbook. That’s not a bad thing – there’s a reason it’s tried, tested, and repeated – but unless you’re completely immune, there’s enough of Taika Waititi’s unique charm in here to make this film stand apart.
La La Land
- Genre: Romance, Musical
- Year: 2016
- Cast: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, John Legend
- Director: Damien Chazelle
- Runtime: 2 hours 8 minutes
What it’s about: Mia and Sebastian, two young artists chasing their dreams in Los Angeles, meet and quickly hit it off. But what matters more, success or love?
Why to watch: Cynics would have you believe La La Land is overrated. They’re wrong: it’s a near-immaculate, swooning, infectious love story that’s shamelessly in love with its technicolour, song-and-dance ancestors. It’ll make you cry, too. What a picture.
The Other Guys
- Genre: Comedy
- Year: 2010
- Cast: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Keaton
- Director: Adam McKay
- Runtime: 1 hour 47 minutes
What it’s about: Terry, a disgraced detective, is forced to team up with a new partner: Allen, a mild-mannered accountant. However, they accidentally stumble upon a huge conspiracy.
Why to watch: Four words, and you have one of the funniest scenes of the 21st century to date: “Aim for the bushes.” The Other Guys is a laugh-out-loud farce par excellence. Everyone is turned up to 11 here, especially Michael Keaton’s TLC-obsessed captain.
Sisu
- Genre: Action
- Year: 2022
- Cast: Jorma Tommila, Aksel Hennie, Jack Doolan
- Director: Jalmari Helander
- Runtime: 1 hour 31 minutes
What it’s about: In the dying days of World War II, a platoon of Nazis crosses paths with a lonely prospector and his dog. They decide to steal his gold, but they get more than they bargained for.
Why to watch: Sisu is wildly, eye-poppingly violent, with limbs, heads, and other body parts flying across the screen in hails of bullets and bloody debris. Let’s be real: do you really need to be convinced to watch 90 minutes of Nazis being blown to smithereens?
RoboCop
- Genre: Action, Sci-fi
- Year: 1987
- Cast: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith
- Director: Paul Verhoeven
- Runtime: 1 hour 42 minutes
What it’s about: When Alex Murphy nearly dies in the line of duty, the police transform him into a groundbreaking cyborg law enforcer: RoboCop.
Why to watch: RoboCop remains one of the most electric action movies ever made; how could you not fall under the spell of a cyborg who shoots a guy in the nuts through a woman’s skirt, spins his gun, and says, “Your move, creep”? It’s a dazzling, satirically gutsy touchstone not just of the ’80s, but all of pop culture; even today, we’d buy that for a dollar.
Air
- Genre: Drama
- Year: 2023
- Cast: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis
- Director: Ben Affleck
- Runtime: 1 hour 52 minutes
What it’s about: It’s 1984, and Nike is on the verge of axing its basketball shoe division. Sonny Vacaro, a scout, is tasked with finding new players to elevate the brand, but he believes they should bet on one rookie who may be a generational talent: Michael Jordan.
Why to watch: Air’s pitch isn’t an immediate sell: a movie about the negotiations behind a shoe deal over 40 years ago. Yet, in pretty much every way, it’s a delight. With Ben Affleck’s steady direction, a cast of legends and go-to funny guys, and a sincere reverence that emphasises the audaciousness of what Nike did, you’ll be swept up in the story – and you’ll probably want a pair of Air Jordans.
Better Man
- Genre: Musical, Drama
- Year: 2025
- Cast: Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton
- Director: Michael Gracey
- Runtime: 2 hours 10 minutes
What it’s about: This is the story of singer Robbie Williams, from his meteoric rise to fame in Take That to his struggles with addiction, ego, and identity under the permanent spotlight. Oh, and he’s a monkey.
Why to watch: Better Man works not because you forget that Robbie Williams is a monkey: you just stop thinking about it, while also sitting in awe at the constant blend of VFX and real-world, infectious song-and-dance numbers. The songs are great (obviously), but it’s more than its soundtrack. Let’s just say… let it entertain you.
The Green Knight
- Genre: Fantasy, Drama
- Year: 2021
- Cast: Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton
- Director: David Lowery
- Runtime: 2 hours 10 minutes
What it’s about: Sir Gawain, King Arthur’s nephew, decapitates the Green Knight to secure his axe. However, it comes at a huge price: he must travel to the Green Chapel a year later, encountering ghosts, giants, and thieves, where he’ll receive an equal blow in return.
Why to watch: The Green Knight is a spellbinding, avant-garde adventure through Arthurian myth that feels more indebted to Ingmar Bergman than Excalibur. In that, it’s morally and thematically sophisticated, pondering grand, scary ideas as you tread its inevitable (and beautiful) path. One of the best movies of the 2020s so far, that’s for sure.
The Vast of Night
- Genre: Sci-fi
- Year: 2019
- Cast: Sierra McCormick, Jake Horowitz, Gail Cronauer
- Director: Andrew Patterson
- Runtime: 1 hour 31 minutes
What it’s about: In 1950s New Mexico, a teenage disc jockey works the night shift at his local radio station. His show is interrupted by an unknown signal, the first of several strange occurrences that may indicate an extraterrestrial presence.
Why to watch: The Vast of Night is the kind of movie you discover while the rest of the world lies in the depths of sleep. A real-time, lo-fi sci-fi thriller that echoes the retro vibe of Stranger Things’ earlier seasons; small, but enormous in its sense of mood and curiosity about “something in the sky.”
Interstellar
- Genre: Science fiction, Adventure
- Year: 2014
- Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain
- Director: Christopher Nolan
- Runtime: 2 hours 49 minutes
What it’s about: With Earth’s resources dwindling, ex-NASA pilot Joseph Cooper is recruited for a top-secret mission: to fly through a wormhole and find a new home for humanity.
Why to watch: Interstellar could be the greatest sci-fi movie ever made: an unabashed celebration of love, conveyed through one of the most exhilarating deep-space voyages ever put to film. Among its many, many scenes that will stand the test of time, one is so wondrous that it’ll flood your skin with goosebumps as soon as you hear one word: “Docking.”
Zodiac
- Genre: Crime, Thriller
- Year: 2007
- Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo
- Director: David Fincher
- Runtime: 2 hours 37 minutes
What it’s about: As the Zodiac Killer murders people and taunts the San Francisco Chronicle with scary letters, the newspaper’s cartoonist becomes an amateur detective, working with a crime reporter and the police in a desperate effort to figure out their identity.
Why to watch: Forget Fight Club: Zodiac, an icy, forensic, horrifying exploration of the titular cold case, is David Fincher’s best movie. It has a smarmy, locked-in Downey Jr pre-Iron Man, John Carroll Lynch’s haunting performance as the FBI’s only suspect, and an overwhelming aura of mythos and obsession.
Or, in short, it’s perfect for true crime fans.
Sound of Metal
- Genre: Drama
- Year: 2019
- Cast: Riz Ahmed, Olivia Cooke, Paul Raci
- Director: Darius Marder
- Runtime: 2 hours
What it’s about: Ruben, a drummer for a punk-metal band, suddenly loses his hearing. He thinks his life is over, but before he can turn to drugs, his girlfriend checks him into a sober home for deaf people, where he rejects and confronts his new reality.
Why to watch: The notion of paying attention to a movie’s sound design may seem a bit pretentious to a normie. Sound of Metal doesn’t ask you to lend an ear: it bends it to its disorientating, immersive will.
That, and Riz Ahmed’s Oscar-nominated performance, are two reasons to watch one of the best films on Amazon Prime.
