So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Apple TV, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for August 10-16, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

1. Fountain of Youth (2025)

Maps, myths, and sibling rivalry—it’s all here.

Guy Ritchie’s latest sends John Krasinski and Natalie Portman racing around the globe to find the legendary fountain before some very bad people beat them to it. Expect high-style heists, practical stunt work, and zero green screen fakery (seriously—they filmed on location everywhere from Vienna to Bangkok). It’s pure adventure-puzzle energy with a winking sense of humor. Think Indiana Jones with sharper banter.

2. The Gorge (2025)

Love in the time of monster-watching.

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy play elite guards stationed on opposite sides of a giant chasm, communicating through headsets until something deep below decides to ruin their day. Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, Sinister) blends sci-fi, horror, and romance into something equal parts creepy and tender. Mixed reviews? Sure. But it’s also Apple’s biggest opening ever—and weirdly hard to stop thinking about.

3. Echo Valley (2025)

Mother knows best—and sometimes, mother does worse.

Julianne Moore plays a solitary horse trainer whose daughter (Sydney Sweeney) shows up covered in blood. From there, it’s secrets, betrayals, and Ridley Scott-produced tension set against Pennsylvania backroads. If you like your thrillers rural, moody, and full of complicated family business, this one’s worth the ride.

4. Luck (2022)

Feeling lucky? You might after this.

This Skydance Animation charmer drops the unluckiest girl alive into a world literally run by luck itself. Eva Noblezada voices the plucky lead, with Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, and Whoopi Goldberg lending their pipes to leprechauns, dragons, and other whimsical weirdos. It’s bright, bouncy, and just the right level of silly for a weeknight wind-down.

5. Ghosted (2023)

First dates are awkward. First dates that turn into CIA missions? Awkward-er.

Chris Evans’ small-town guy falls for Ana de Armas’ secret agent in this action-rom-com that leans all the way into the Mr. & Mrs. Smith chaos. There are explosions, exotic locations, and enough quips to fill a Marvel blooper reel. Critics weren’t swooning, but audiences made it Apple’s most-watched debut at the time.

6. Wolfs (2024)

Two fixers. One mess. Zero patience.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite for a one-night-in-L.A. caper as rival problem-solvers forced to share a job. Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming) keeps the pace brisk, the dialogue sharp, and the mishaps… plentiful. It’s part The Nice Guys, part Midnight Run, and entirely fueled by Clooney-Pitt chemistry.

7. Greyhound (2020)

90 minutes of pure naval adrenaline.

Tom Hanks wrote and stars in this WWII convoy thriller about a rookie captain facing a wolf pack of Nazi U-boats. The sound design ( Oscar-nominated) will rattle your walls, the tension never lets up, and yes, Hanks gives the kind of quietly heroic performance that’s his bread and butter.

8. The Family Plan (2023)

Family road trip… with assassins.

Mark Wahlberg plays a former hitman who drags his unsuspecting family across the country to escape his old life. There’s Michelle Monaghan, Maggie Q, chase scenes, and just enough family-comedy beats to keep it light. Bonus: it broke Apple’s streaming records and already has a sequel on the way.

9. Napoleon (2023)

Ridley Scott. Joaquin Phoenix. Epic hats.

This sweeping biopic charts Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise, reign, and ruin through his obsessive relationship with Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). The battles are massive, the costumes Oscar-nominated, and Phoenix delivers a performance that’s all charm, rage, and ego. Love him or hate him, you can’t look away.

10. Finch (2021)

Man, dog, robot—end of the world.

Tom Hanks, alone in a wasteland, builds a robot to care for his dog after he’s gone. It’s smaller-scale than most apocalyptic stories, leaning into warmth and bittersweet humor. Bring tissues—it’s Cast Away meets Wall-E, and it’ll get you right in the feelings.

And That’s a Wrap

From Napoleonic battlefields to sunken treasure, monster-filled gorges to leprechaun-run cities, Apple TV+ is covering every mood this week. Need high-stakes action? Fountain of Youth, The Gorge, and Wolfs have you. Craving comfort? Luck, The Family Plan, and Finch will do the trick. Want something tense and dramatic? Echo Valley, Greyhound, and Napoleon have you pacing the living room. Queue it up, grab your snacks, and clear your schedule—Apple’s watchlist is stacked.
