This week, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has been dethroned from the top spot on Prime Video’s movie rankings by a new contender: Ángel Manuel Soto’s buddy cop action comedy The Wrecking Crew. Starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, the film is a charming action flick powered by the delightful chemistry between its two powerhouse leads, and it’s currently proving quite popular with audiences. The movie is certainly a fun watch, but in case you’re in the mood for something different, there’s still a lot more to choose from on the streaming service. Here’s a look at three movies that we think you should watch on Prime Video this week.

3 ‘Game 6’ (2005)

A lesser-known film featuring the late Catherine O’Hara, who tragically passed away a few days ago, Game 6 is a comedy-drama directed by Michael Hoffman and written by Don DeLillo. The movie stars Michael Keaton as playwright Nicky Rogan, who is driven to paranoia on the day his latest play is due to premiere, which also happens to be the same day as the sixth game of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox. O’Hara appears in the film as Nicky’s dissatisfied wife, Lillian, and the movie also stars Robert Downey Jr., Bebe Neuwirth, Griffin Dunne, and more in significant roles.

An intelligent, witty, and masterfully performed dramedy, Game 6 had its world premiere at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and had a limited theatrical run in 2006. The film wasn’t a box-office success and received somewhat mixed reviews, so it’s been largely forgotten in the 20 years since its release. However, while its meandering structure may not appeal to wide audiences, the film is an underrated slice-of-life character drama that boasts some highly memorable performances, particularly by Keaton, Downey Jr., and O’Hara.

2 ‘RoboCop’ (1987)

Directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, RoboCop is an iconic sci-fi action film set in a dystopian future Detroit. Peter Weller stars as police officer Alex Murphy, who is brutally murdered by criminals and resurrected as a cyborg law enforcer by a megacorporation with nebulous aims. The movie also stars Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer in supporting roles.

In its day, RoboCop was a highly divisive film that made censorship boards and reviewers rather uncomfortable with its extremely graphic violence. However, the excessive violence is key to what makes the film so great: it pushes the action to such outlandish levels that it devolves into satire, which was the creative team’s intention all along. Despite the polarized reviews, the film earned several accolades, including an Academy Award, and has since grown into a beloved cult classic that inspired a massive multimedia franchise.

1 ‘P.S. I Love You’ (2007)

Directed by Richard LaGravenese and adapted from Cecelia Ahern’s eponymous 2004 novel, P.S. I Love You is a now-classic 2000s romantic comedy starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. The film follows widow Holly Kennedy (Swank), who receives a series of posthumous letters from her late husband Gerry (Butler) that help her find her way through her grief, back to hope, love, and herself. The movie also stars Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, James Marsters, Harry Connick Jr., Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Kathy Bates in key roles.

When it was first released in 2007, P.S. I Love You was widely panned by reviewers, facing criticisms for Swank’s casting, the cliched story, and Butler’s frankly atrocious Irish accent. Despite those flaws, however, the film became a global box office success and made quite a mark on popular culture. The movie is an unapologetic chick-flick that chases sentimentality over realism, but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable, and on the plus side, the film does feature some great performances, wardrobe, and picturesque Irish landscapes.
