Hungry leads 3 best movies on Prime Video this week, with American Psycho and more, Nov. 9–13

Hungry Leads This Week

James Nunn’s 2026 creature feature Hungry is Prime Video’s number one movie this week. Starring Madison Davenport, it follows vacationers on a Louisiana boat trip who encounter a deadly hippopotamus.

Critics have given the film a mixed reception, though the article calls it fun. It also points readers toward other movies worth watching on the platform.

American Psycho’s Dark Legacy

Mary Harron directed this adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman, a wealthy New York City investment banker whose obsession with status conceals a life as a serial killer.

Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Justin Theroux, Chloë Sevigny and Reese Witherspoon also appear. Once seen as difficult to film, the story has become a genre icon, with Bale’s performance central to its reputation.

The film combines psychological horror and black comedy to satirize 1980s consumer culture. Its 2000 premiere drew polarized responses: some praised the writing and acting, while others objected to the gore and violence.

Romance Through Different Lenses

The article presents When Harry Met Sally as a romance built on years of conversation and friendship. Its central pair repeatedly miss their moment before eventually finding one another.

It also describes Heated Rivalry as a story of private love between people on opposing sides. Their connection deepens in secret, while the prospect of revealing it carries a cost.

Titanic offers a contrasting romance defined by intensity rather than duration. The film’s brief love story is also linked to the woman’s long life afterward.
