Netflix, Warner Bros. and Paramount are grabbing the headlines, but Prime Video is making some waves of its own with its March 2026 slate.
The streamer has added a slew of new movies that are guaranteed to give you a good time this weekend.
At the top of Watch With Us’ binge list is Valkyrie, a WWII thriller starring Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh and almost every British actor over the age of 50.
Also on our watchlist is the Dakota Fanning comedy Uptown Girls and the erotic thriller Dressed to Kill, which is still as controversial now as it was in 1980.
‘Valkyrie’ (2008)Tom Cruise as a Nazi? It almost happened in Valkyrie, a thrilling action movie that featured the Top Gun actor as Claus von Stauffenberg, a real-life German colonel who didn’t like what Adolph Hitler (David Bamber) was doing to Germany — and the rest of the world — during World War II. Disillusioned but still rebellious, Claus decides to lead a secret resistance effort to assassinate Hitler and assume control of the German military, effectively ending the war. Hitler has already survived over a dozen attempts on his life, but if anyone can succeed, it’s Claus.
You wouldn’t normally associate the all-American Cruise with Nazi Germany, but after watching Valkyrie, you’ll probably agree he’s perfectly cast as the daring Claus. Like Mission: Impossible’s Ethan Hunt, Claus excels at subterfuge and pulling off insane stunts. What makes Valkyrie all the more remarkable is that it’s based on reality. Claus and his conspirators really did try to kill Hitler, and they could’ve changed history if they had succeeded. Even though they failed, their efforts live on in movies like Valkyrie, which shows that the truth sometimes is stranger — and more thrilling — than fiction.
Valkyrie is streaming on Prime Video.
‘Uptown Girls’ (2003)Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) is the nepo baby of a dead rock star who discovers her accountant has stolen all of daddy’s cash. In need of some money, she finds a job as a nanny to Ray (Dakota Fanning), a spoiled 8-year-old who needs cheering up. The two girls hate each other at first, but gradually, they recognize they have more in common than they both think. Now that these two lost souls have found each other, can they find the happiness they so desperately desire?
Uptown Girls is a formulaic comedy that mashes together two well-worn comedic tropes: the fish-out-of-water outsider and the opposites-attract duo. But it all works, and that’s due to the oddball pairing of Murphy and Fanning. Murphy’s oddball, ditzy charm and Fanning’s wiser-beyond-her-years demeanor provide much of the movie’s humor, and you’ll find yourself surprised at how invested you are in their characters. It’s not a great film, but Uptown Girls is the kind of movie you’d find on TBS one lazy Saturday afternoon and watch while relaxing on a couch.
Uptown Girls is streaming on Prime Video.
‘Dressed to Kill’ (1980)
Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) is a devoted New York City wife and loving mother to her teenage son, Peter (Keith Gordon). She’s also horny AF, and her husband just isn’t doing it for her in the sack. That’s why she impulsively has an affair with a stranger one afternoon while visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But when she discovers he has an STD, Kate bolts. Can her day get any worse? You don’t have to wait too long for ananswer as Kate is brutally murdered in an elevator by a mysterious woman. Why was Kate killed?
That’s the central mystery to Dressed to Kill, an erotic thriller that’s as wild as it is irresistible. The movie is unabashedly sexual — it opens with Kate showering and ends with a nurse being disrobed — but it’s also surprisingly funny, especially when happy hooker Liz (Nancy Allen) and Peter team up to solve Kate’s death. The ending hasn’t aged well, but the movie remains top-notch entertainment and a key entry in the erotic thriller genre.
Dressed to Kill is streaming on Prime Video.
