3 Must-See Prime Video Movies Rated 10/10 (February 2026)
Searching for your next must-see film? Look no further than Amazon Prime Video.
Along with a selection of good and even great films, Prime Video features a handful that Watch Would Us deems true no-notes, 10/10 masterpieces.
If you only seek to watch exceptional movies, these three picks are perfect for you.
Our recommendations encompass various genres, including musical, comedy, and horror.
Our first selection is La La Land, the stunning romantic musical starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
‘La La Land’ (2016)
After an awkward introduction during a road rage incident, struggling jazz pianist Sebastian (Gosling) and aspiring actress Mia (Stone) reconnect months later. Encouraging Sebastian to pursue his passions, they are drawn together by their shared dreams and undeniable chemistry, eventually becoming romantically involved and moving in together. As their careers rise, however, they encounter uncertainties about their relationship.
While La La Land nearly swept the Oscars in 2017, it was famously overshadowed by Moonlight at the Best Picture announcement. Nevertheless, if Damien Chazelle’s film had taken the gold, we wouldn’t have complained. The chemistry between Gosling and Stone shines once again, having first captivated audiences in 2011’s Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Chazelle’s passion for stage musicals and jazz is evident in this vibrant, heartfelt modern musical dramedy.
‘Hundreds of Beavers’ (2024)
This indie comedy sensation from 2024 tells its eccentric tale in an entirely unique way. Shot in black and white with no spoken dialogue, it follows applejack salesman Jean Kayak (Ryland Tews) as he faces chaos brought on by hundreds of beavers eager to ruin his life—played by actors in oversized beaver costumes. After the beavers devastate Jean’s orchard, he fights to survive in the Pacific Northwest, eventually aspiring to become a master fur trapper.
You likely haven’t seen anything like Hundreds of Beavers in your lifetime. This hour and 48-minute film offers a blend of wordless, video game logic and slapstick humor reminiscent of classic cartoons. With sheer directorial enthusiasm, creative editing, and a wealth of timeless gags featuring guys in giant beaver suits, Hundreds of Beavers is truly singular, inventive, and unforgettable, breathing new life into modern comedy.
‘The Descent’ (2005)
One year after the tragic loss of her husband and daughter, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) joins her adventurous friends for a spelunking expedition in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. As they venture into the cave system, they discover they’ve taken an uncharted route, becoming trapped by a cave-in. With no option but to push deeper, the group soon encounters a horrific terror lurking in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike.
The Descent stands as a masterclass in horror; a suspenseful exploration of claustrophobia that might make you reconsider any thoughts of spelunking. Set in a confined space cloaked in darkness, the film creates palpable terror by making viewers feel as exposed and vulnerable as its characters.
