Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Disney Plus | July 20-26, 2025

If you like your spy thrillers brooding, brainy, and a little bit off the grid, The Amateur hits the mark.

Rami Malek stars as a soft-spoken CIA codebreaker who snaps into action after losing his wife in a terrorist attack. When the agency refuses to do anything, he essentially forces them to train him—because vengeance is a dish best served fluently in cryptography. This isn’t just shootouts and shaky cam. It’s smart, personal, and just angry enough to stay unpredictable.

Directed by James Hawes (Slow Horses), with supporting heat from Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan, and Jon Bernthal, it balances emotional damage with old-school espionage vibes. Think The Bourne Identity meets The Lives of Others, only with a quieter protagonist who can hack your soul.

Bonus points for the Istanbul sequences—they don’t just look cool, they feel lived-in.

2. Snow White (2025)

The mirror’s still cracked—but the reflection is a whole new vibe.

Disney’s live-action Snow White isn’t playing by the old storybook rules. Rachel Zegler steps into the iconic slippers with a little more grit, and Gal Gadot absolutely devours her screen time as the Evil Queen (seriously, she’s having the time of her life being the worst). When the kingdom falls into darkness after the King disappears, Snow White escapes into the forest—where she finds seven dwarves, a rogue named Jonathan, and the courage to fight for her future.

Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man) directs with a flourish, and with Pasek & Paul on music duties, expect powerful ballads and Broadway-level swells. If Cinderella (2021) and Maleficent had a cooler cousin with forest survival skills, it’s this one.

Come for the costumes. Stay for the revenge arc.

3. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S (2018)

Pep rallies. Brain cravings. Forbidden love. Just another day in Seabrook.

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S kicked off a surprisingly heartfelt franchise with a musical-comedy twist on high school cliques. Zombies and humans are finally learning to coexist, and football star Zed (Milo Manheim) just wants to fit in without hiding who he is. Enter Addison (Meg Donnelly), a cheerleader with a rebellious streak and perfect hair. Together, they do what Disney teens do best: sing, dance, and dismantle social norms.

It’s cheesy in all the right ways and wears its message on its (green) sleeve—unity, acceptance, and sequined team jackets. Directed by Paul Hoen, this one has serious High School Musical DNA, just with more corpse paint and boundary-pushing choreography.

Spoiler: there’s a cheer battle. You’re not ready.

4. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 (2020)

New year, new supernatural drama.

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 turns up the volume—and the fur. Just when Seabrook starts vibing with its zombie students, mysterious werewolves show up and throw everything out of balance. Zed and Addison are now a couple (sort of?), but their relationship hits turbulence as school tensions rise.

Chandler Kinney and Pearce Joza bring extra energy as the lead werewolves, and yes, the outfits are giving full post-apocalyptic forest rave. The music slaps harder than expected (looking at you, “We Own the Night”), and the dance numbers? Even sharper.

Still a Disney Channel joint at heart, but this one gets a little edgier—more growls, more glitter, more growl-glitter. If you’re in the mood for lighthearted drama with claws, this is your jam.

5. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 (2022)

Aliens. Cheer-offs. College dreams. You didn’t think they’d stop at werewolves, did you?

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 takes the camp to cosmic levels with the arrival of three mysterious extraterrestrial teens. Addison, now captain of the cheer squad, is planning an international cheer competition. Zed’s chasing a scholarship that would make him the first zombie in college history. And then—bam—UFOs.

Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly still anchor the story, but the MVPs here are the aliens themselves (played by Terry Hu, Matt Cornett, and Kyra Tantao), who deliver just the right balance of weird and wonderful. Oh, and RuPaul voices their AI leader because… why not?

This one knows it’s wild. It leans all the way into sci-fi sparkle with pop bangers and glowing blue eyebrows. If Descendants and Xenon had a high-energy crossover, this would be it.

6. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025)

Just when you thought Seabrook had run out of monsters—surprise. It’s vampire time.

Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4 takes Zed and Addison out of high school and drops them into camp counselor mode at a supernatural summer getaway. But peace and quiet? Yeah, not happening. A turf war between werewolves and vampires breaks out, and our duo has to play monster mediator before things go full Twilight on the lakefront.

Returning faves (Chandler Kinney, Kylee Russell) team up with fresh blood (Freya Skye, Malachi Barton), and the result is the most dramatic installment yet. Expect campfire bangers, supernatural shade, and some seriously cool vampire fits. Oh, and did we mention Zed and Addison are finally figuring out who they are outside of cheer routines and zombie rules?

It’s giving Camp Rock meets Hotel Transylvania—and it totally works.

7. Transformers (2007)

Before there were cinematic universes and multiverses and time-looping pandas, there was Transformers. Just loud, shiny, robot mayhem—and somehow, it still slaps.

Shia LaBeouf stars as Sam Witwicky, a normal-ish teen who accidentally becomes the chosen one in an age-old war between Autobots and Decepticons. Optimus Prime rolls in with a speech about honor, Megatron screams about power, and director Michael Bay throws the entire military-industrial complex into a blender with slow-motion explosions.

It’s chaotic, yes—but also iconic. Megan Fox, Tyrese, Josh Duhamel, and Jon Voight all show up to do something, and Peter Cullen’s legendary Optimus voice makes even the corniest lines sound noble.

Not subtle. Not quiet. But still a wildly fun reminder of why we love watching cars turn into 30-foot war machines.

8. Bumblebee (2018)

And then Bumblebee showed up and said, “What if this franchise had feelings?”

Set in 1987 and running on full ‘80s nostalgia, this prequel/reboot gives the Transformers universe its heart back. Hailee Steinfeld stars as Charlie, a grieving teen who stumbles upon a battle-damaged Bumblebee in her garage. She fixes him up, gives him a voice (sort of), and finds purpose in the process.

Directed by Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings ), this one dials back the chaos and focuses on connection. It’s still got robot fights, sure—but they hit harder because the emotional stakes are real. Dylan O’Brien voices Bee, John Cena plays a surprisingly funny antagonist, and the soundtrack is wall-to-wall ‘80s bangers.

It’s like E.T. meets Iron Giant, but with more missiles and a yellow VW bug doing karate.

9. Captain America: Brave New World (2025)

The shield’s in new hands—and the world’s not exactly clapping for it.

Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) takes center stage in Brave New World , stepping fully into his Captain America role just in time for a global crisis. After a meeting with President Ross (yep, Harrison Ford now), Sam uncovers a conspiracy that could set off international chaos. And if that weren’t enough? Red Hulk is lurking.

Directed by Julius Onah (Luce ), this entry leans more political thriller than superhero brawl. Tim Blake Nelson returns as The Leader, Giancarlo Esposito joins the chaos, and Shira Haas debuts as Sabra. There’s action, yes, but it’s driven by questions about legacy, power, and what America actually stands for.

Is it messy? Absolutely. But it swings big—and Mackie sells every second. If The Winter Soldier is your MCU favorite, this one’s worth a watch.

10. The Proposal (2009)

Look, if you’ve seen it, you already love it. If you haven’t? Fix that this week.

Sandra Bullock plays Margaret, a tough-as-nails editor facing deportation to Canada. Her solution? Force her assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) into a fake marriage. Cue the awkward family trip to Alaska, a legendary Betty White dance scene, and more fake relationship tropes than you can count on one flight of stairs.

Directed by Anne Fletcher, this is rom-com gold—funny, ridiculous, and deeply rewatchable. Bullock and Reynolds have crackling chemistry, and the script somehow makes green card fraud adorable (don’t ask questions).

It’s giving enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, grandma shaman energy, and just enough heart to leave you smiling. Also: that “I’m naked, you’re naked” scene? Iconic.

And That’s a Wrap

There you go—ten Disney+ picks ready to take over your queue. You’ve got undercover revenge (The Amateur), monster camp drama (Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4), and some seriously updated fairytale energy (Snow White). Whether you’re here for pop songs and pep rallies or deep-space robot feelings, this week’s lineup covers the full emotional spectrum.

There’s classic Bayhem (Transformers), throwback charm with real heart (Bumblebee), and the kind of Marvel messiness that keeps you guessing (Brave New World). And if all else fails? The Proposal is sitting there like a rom-com comfort blanket you didn’t know you needed.

So crank the volume, dim the lights, and let the streaming marathon begin. You’ve got some monsters to sing with—and maybe a fake marriage to root for.
