Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Apple TV | June 22-28, 2025

So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Apple TV, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for June 22-28, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

Echo Valley (2025)

This one creeps up on you. Echo Valley opens with a woman training horses in rural Pennsylvania and somehow ends with you white-knuckling your couch. Julianne Moore plays Kate, a grief-stricken mother just trying to get by, until her daughter (Sydney Sweeney) shows up covered in blood and asking for help. What unfolds is a slow-burn thriller with big emotional stakes and some seriously gnarly twists.

It’s not a loud movie—but it hits hard. The silences speak louder than the dialogue, and every look Moore gives feels like a choice between heartbreak and rage. Sweeney holds her own, playing vulnerable and volatile in equal measure. And the farm setting? Gorgeous, haunting, and just isolated enough to make everything feel ten times scarier.

If you liked Mare of Easttown or A History of Violence, this sits in that same emotionally messy space. It’s about what we owe family—and what happens when they cross the line.

Fountain of Youth (2025)

What if Indiana Jones had sibling rivalry and a crisis of mortality? That’s Fountain of Youth in a nutshell. John Krasinski and Natalie Portman play estranged siblings racing across the globe to find the actual Fountain of Youth. And yes, it’s every bit as wild as it sounds.

The tone bounces between high-stakes adventure and deep existential panic. One minute, they’re dodging booby traps in South America. The next, they’re arguing about childhood trauma in a tent. Guy Ritchie directs with his usual flair—fast cuts, dry wit, just enough heart to keep it grounded. There’s also Domhnall Gleeson playing a rival treasure hunter with big “chaotic neutral” energy.

This one won’t change your life, but it’s a fun ride with pretty people and philosophical questions. Like, would you really want to live forever? Watch it and decide.

The Family Plan (2023)

Mark Wahlberg goes full dad mode in The Family Plan—but with a body count. He plays a suburban husband with a secret past as a government assassin. When his old enemies come knocking, he throws the wife and kids into an RV and hits the road, leaving behind minivans and PTA meetings for car chases and black-market shootouts.

It’s part Spy Kids, part John Wick, and somehow manages to be both silly and slick. Wahlberg leans into the chaos with his usual smirk, but the real heart comes from the family dynamics. The teen daughter’s annoyed. The wife’s suspicious. The toddler is just vibing.

It’s not reinventing anything, but it’s a crowd-pleaser with enough stunts and laughs to keep things moving. Perfect if you want action without the doom spiral.

Wolfs (2024)

George Clooney and Brad Pitt back together? Yes please. In Wolfs, they play rival fixers forced to clean up the same mess on the same night—and they are not happy about it. What follows is a stylish, smirky crime caper with just enough danger to keep you invested and just enough ego to make it fun.

This is less about plot and more about vibe. Think dark suits, fast cars, and long silences broken by perfectly timed one-liners. Pitt is charming and unbothered. Clooney is grumpy and over it. They hate working together—but you’ll love watching them try.

It’s not peak Coen brothers or Ocean’s Eleven slick, but it knows what it is. And honestly, that’s half the charm.

You Hurt My Feelings (2023)

Here’s a nightmare scenario: you accidentally overhear your spouse trashing your work behind your back. That’s the setup for You Hurt My Feelings, a funny-sad indie gem from Nicole Holofcener. Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a writer who’s been lying to herself—and maybe getting lied to—about how supportive her marriage really is.

It’s not dramatic in the shouting-match way. It’s quieter. More “small slights that cut deep” and less “throw a vase across the room.” Every scene feels lived-in, like you’re eavesdropping on real people who haven’t figured their stuff out yet. And the dialogue? Sharp, awkward, deeply human.

This is for fans of smart comedies with emotional bite. Like Frances Ha but grown-up and married.

The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022)

This one sounds fake, but it’s not. In The Greatest Beer Run Ever, Zac Efron plays Chickie Donohue, a regular dude from New York who literally brings beer to his buddies… in Vietnam. During the actual war. Like, he hops a ship, sneaks into combat zones, and shows up with a duffel bag full of Budweiser like it’s no big deal.

It’s funny—until it’s not. What starts as a goofy, beer-soaked stunt slowly morphs into something way more sobering. Efron is surprisingly great, balancing naïve optimism with a slow, painful reckoning about what war actually means. Russell Crowe and Bill Murray show up too, but this is Efron’s show.

If you liked Forrest Gump but wanted less running and more recklessness, this one’s for you. It’s weird, heartfelt, and weirdly heartfelt.

Bono: Stories of Surrender (2025)

You don’t need to be a U2 fan to get pulled into Stories of Surrender. It’s just Bono, a mic, and a stage—but somehow it becomes something way more intimate than a concert. He talks about childhood, fame, activism, and the weirdness of being both a rock star and a dad who worries about stuff like making toast.

There’s music, obviously. But it’s the stories that really land. He goes deep—into grief, marriage, faith—and somehow makes it all feel like a late-night chat with an old friend. The vibe’s part memoir, part TED Talk, part campfire confession.

Even if you’ve rolled your eyes at Bono before (and who hasn’t?), this might surprise you. It’s stripped down, sincere, and kind of beautiful.

Cherry (2021)

Cherry is Tom Holland like you’ve never seen him before—messy, addicted, broke, and spiraling fast. He starts out as a college dropout, joins the military, comes home with PTSD, and ends up robbing banks to fund a heroin addiction. It’s a lot. And it’s supposed to be.

The Russos (yep, the Avengers guys) directed this with a whole bag of cinematic tricks—slow motion, fourth-wall breaks, title cards—but what sticks is the rawness. Holland is all in. He looks wrecked. He acts wrecked. It’s not subtle, but it hits.

Think Requiem for a Dream meets American Sniper, but younger and sweatier. It won’t be for everyone, but it’s impossible to ignore.

Bread & Roses (2024)

This one doesn’t let you look away. Bread & Roses follows three Afghan women navigating life under Taliban rule after Kabul fell in 2021. There’s no narrator. No filter. Just real people trying to stay human in a world trying to erase them.

The camera follows them as they fight for education, safety, and basic dignity. It’s tense, heartbreaking, and—somehow—hopeful. The fact that it exists at all feels like an act of rebellion. And the director doesn’t turn away from anything: the fear, the defiance, the quiet courage of everyday survival.

If you care at all about women’s rights or global justice, this one’s essential. It’s not easy, but it’s worth every second.

The Gorge (2025)

Okay, this one’s weird—in the best way. The Gorge is about two elite operatives assigned to opposite towers on either side of a giant, mysterious canyon. Their job? Keep whatever’s down there from getting out. Simple enough… until it isn’t.

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are electric together, trading suspicion and chemistry like it’s sport. There’s tension. There’s terror. There’s a gnawing sense that something is very, very wrong. Oh, and Sigourney Weaver shows up, because of course she does.

Think The Lighthouse meets Annihilation, but with guns and secrets instead of squabbling sailors. It’s genre, it’s stylish, and it gets under your skin.

And That’s a Wrap

That’s ten picks on Apple TV+ that are actually worth your time—not just glossy thumbnails or algorithm bait. Whether it’s a grief-soaked thriller (Echo Valley), a globetrotting sibling race (Fountain of Youth), or a documentary that’ll stop you cold (Bread & Roses), this lineup brings the goods.

You’ve got action (The Family Plan, The Gorge), heart (Bono: Stories of Surrender), and the kind of unexpected gems that sneak up on you (You Hurt My Feelings, The Greatest Beer Run Ever). A few will stress you out. A couple might break your heart. At least one will make you text someone, “You gotta watch this.”

So if your watchlist has been gathering dust, consider this your cue. Hit play and let Apple TV+ do the rest.
