Your Weekend Watchlist: 3 Must-See Prime Video Movies (April 25-26), Including The Conjuring: Last Rites

I keep coming back to Prime Video when I want a weekend watch that hits the sweet spot between legit good and shamelessly fun. If you want scares, suds, or straight-up silliness this April weekend, here are the three I would hit play on without hesitation.

• The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025 ) - The Warrens face one last nightmare that hits way too close to home.
• Colleen Hoover's Regretting You (2025) - Beautiful people, ugly secrets, maximum tears.
• Spaceballs (1987) - Dumb in the smartest possible way, and still ridiculously funny.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are ready to clock out of the ghost- hunting grind, but one case refuses to let them retire quietly. Their daughter Judy (Mia Tomlinson) starts having visions of the Smurl family being tormented by three malevolent spirits. It turns into a family operation - Ed, Lorraine, and Judy - trying to drive the demons out before the demons tear everyone apart.

Billed as the last Conjuring movie, this one landed big last year, pulling in close to half a billion at the box office. It is not the franchise peak, but it is better than most of the series, with enough jump scares and skin-crawling imagery to keep your shoulders up by your ears. Wilson and Farmiga are, as always, completely convincing at selling the supernatural - their steady, lived-in chemistry gives the movie its heartbeat.

The finale goes for emotion and actually sticks the landing, with some satisfying nods to earlier Conjuring entries. The funny wrinkle: despite the whole last-chapter marketing, Warner Bros. has already said another movie is coming. So yes, heartfelt farewell... followed by a see-you-soon. Now streaming on Prime Video.

Colleen Hoover's Regretting You (2025)

Morgan (Allison Williams) is rebuilding after a car crash kills her husband, Chris (Scott Eastwood), and her younger sister, Jenny (Willa Fitzgerald). She leans on her 16-year-old daughter, Clara (Mckenna Grace), and on Jonah (Dave Franco), who was dating Jenny. Then the grief curdles: Morgan starts uncovering proof that Chris and Jenny were having an affair for years. To make things even messier, Chris might be the biological father of Jenny and Jonah's newborn son, Elijah.

That is only part of it. The film also weaves in a flashback about an unwanted teen pregnancy and, in the present, a love triangle involving Clara and campus golden boy Miller (Mason Thames). It is a faithful take on Colleen Hoover's wild, page-turner of a novel - overloaded, yes, but never dull. Think glossy heartbreak in pretty locations, tear-streaked confrontations, and plot twists dropped like confetti. Shameless melodrama? Absolutely. Also, a perfectly fine way to spend a night in. Now streaming on Prime Video.

Spaceballs (1987)

President Skroob (Mel Brooks) is desperate to steal planet Druidia's clean air, but he needs the code to its protective shield. His plan: kidnap Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). The problem: Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog co-pilot Barf (John Candy) swoop in to rescue her and her robot companion, Dot Matrix (Joan Rivers). With Skroob's goons in hot pursuit, the crew hides out with mystical guru Yogurt (also Brooks). The mission is simple - get Vespa home in one piece - while Lone Starr tries very hard not to fall for the princess he is absolutely falling for.

Even describing the plot makes me grin. Mel Brooks fires jokes like a confetti cannon, from the obvious - hello, Pizza the Hut - to the inspired - an Alien homage that suddenly turns into a cheery diner musical number. The cast is totally in tune with the movie's proudly lowbrow wavelength, with John Candy and Rick Moranis (as the perpetually flustered Dark Helmet) stealing scenes at will.

May the Schwartz be with you!

If you have somehow missed it, this is the time to catch up - a sequel, Spaceballs: The New One, is slated for 2027. The original still kills. Now streaming on Prime Video.
