Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Disney Plus | August 10-16, 2025

Mom’s stressed. Daughter’s angsty. Cue the fortune cookie.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are pure comedy gold as a mother and daughter who magically switch bodies for a day. Curtis is unhinged in the best way; Lohan nails the sulky-teen-turned-middle-aged vibe. It’s funny, heartfelt, and smarter than it needed to be—and yes, Chad Michael Murray is peak early-2000s heartthrob here.

2. The Amateur (2025)

No gadgets. No tuxedos. Just a man with nothing left to lose.

Rami Malek plays a CIA codebreaker whose life shatters after his wife is killed in a London terror attack. When the agency shrugs it off, he goes full rogue. This isn’t glossy Bond territory—it’s grimy, grounded spy work with more grief than glamour. Malek’s simmering performance is worth the watch alone.

3. The Fantastic Four: First Steps | A Special Look (2025)

Marvel’s First Family finally gets their MCU glow-up.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach suit up in this retro-’60s take on Marvel’s oldest team. This “special look” packs early footage, cast interviews, and Easter eggs that’ll keep Reddit sleuths busy for weeks. It’s only a few minutes long, but it’s the appetizer fans have been waiting on.

4. The Parent Trap (1998)

Double the Lindsay Lohan, double the charm.

Separated at birth, identical twins reunite at summer camp and swap places to reunite their divorced parents. Nancy Meyers’ directorial debut is still as warm and stylish as you remember, with Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson delivering A+ rom-com chemistry. The fencing scene? Still iconic.

5. Snow White (2025)

A classic fairytale gets a sharp-edged makeover.

Rachel Zegler’s Snow White is sweet but savvy, teaming up with seven magical dwarves (and a roguish bandit) to take down Gal Gadot’s evil Queen. Expect soaring new songs from Pasek & Paul, gothic-meets-glitter visuals, and a heroine who’s more sword than songbird.

6. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

The job is a dream. The boss is a nightmare.

Anne Hathaway plays Andy, a journalist-turned-assistant to Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, the iciest editor in stilettos. You know the quotes (“That’s all”) and the outfits—still flawless. But it’s also a razor-sharp look at ambition, identity, and the personal cost of “making it.”

7. Ratatouille (2007)

Yes, it’s a rat. Yes, he can cook.

Pixar’s Parisian masterpiece follows Remy, a rat with a palate finer than most humans, as he teams up with a hapless chef to create culinary magic. It’s charming, funny, and might just make you crave a five-course French meal at midnight.

8. Ice Age (2002)

Prehistoric chaos with heart.

A mammoth, a sloth, and a saber-toothed tiger find an abandoned human baby and trek across icy terrain to return him home. Along the way, they dodge predators, bicker like siblings, and prove family isn’t always about species. Bonus: Scrat the squirrel steals every scene he’s in.

9. The Incredibles (2004)

Superheroes, suburbia, and midlife crises.

Bob Parr, once the world’s top superhero, is stuck in a desk job—until a mysterious mission pulls him back into the tights. With Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, and baby Jack-Jack in tow, it’s an action-packed, laugh-filled family affair that still ranks among Pixar’s best.

10. Incredibles 2 (2018)

This time, Mom’s in charge.

While Elastigirl hits the streets to restore superheroes’ good name, Mr. Incredible wrangles homework, tantrums, and Jack-Jack’s unpredictable powers at home. It’s fast, funny, and proof Pixar knows how to stick the landing on a long-awaited sequel.
