3 Must Watch Movies on Prime Video This Weekend

Looking for something good to watch this weekend? Prime Video has plenty of movies to choose from, but these three are worth adding to your watchlist.

From an emotional family drama to a wild jungle adventure and an unusual true-crime story, these movies offer something different. Here is what you should know before watching them.

The Stillwater Girl

The Stillwater Girl follows Bill Baker, played by Matt Damon, an Oklahoma oil worker who travels to Marseille, France, after his daughter Allison is convicted of killing her roommate.

Allison has spent years in prison while continuing to say that she did not commit the crime. When her attempts to have the case reconsidered fail, Bill decides to stay in France and look for answers himself.

The search is difficult. Bill does not speak the language well and struggles to understand the culture and legal system around him. Still, he refuses to give up on his daughter.

While trying to uncover the truth, Bill develops a friendship with Virginie, a local actress, and becomes close to her young daughter Maya. Their relationship gives him a new sense of family and helps him see life differently.

However, Bill's determination slowly turns into an obsession. As he gets closer to discovering what happened, some of his choices put his new life and relationships at risk.

Why watch it: This is a good choice if you enjoy emotional dramas, family stories and movies about redemption.

Anaconda

If you want something lighter and more chaotic, Anaconda brings comedy and adventure together.

Doug, played by Jack Black, and Griff, played by Paul Rudd, are longtime friends who are unhappy with how their lives have turned out. Hoping to do something exciting, they decide to make their own version of their favorite movie, Anaconda.

They bring several old friends along and travel to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Their small movie production is already full of problems, but things become much worse when they encounter a real giant anaconda.

What starts as an ambitious filmmaking project quickly turns into a fight for survival. The group has to deal with a massive predator while trying to stay alive in the dangerous jungle.

The movie mixes comedy, action and creature horror, making it a fun option for viewers who want something entertaining rather than a serious drama.

Why watch it: Choose this one if you like funny characters, jungle adventures, giant creatures and survival stories.

Roofman

Roofman tells the unusual story of Jeffrey Manchester, played by Channing Tatum, a former army veteran who turns to crime after struggling with financial problems.

Manchester becomes known for robbing McDonald's restaurants by entering through their roofs. Despite his crimes, he avoids violence and develops a reputation for treating people differently from what they might expect from a robber.

Eventually, he is caught and receives a long prison sentence. But his story takes another strange turn when he escapes and manages to hide inside a Toys R Us store.

For months, he secretly lives inside the store while trying to avoid being caught. His hidden life becomes even more complicated when he meets Leigh, played by Kirsten Dunst, a single mother who works there.

Jeffrey begins to develop feelings for Leigh and creates a false identity to get closer to her. But keeping his real past hidden becomes increasingly difficult.

The movie combines crime, romance and drama while exploring the unusual choices made by a man trying to rebuild his life.

Why watch it: It is a strong pick for anyone who enjoys crime stories with unusual characters, romance and true-story-inspired drama.
