The Amazon Prime Video top 10 movies and shows list is all topsy-turvy, with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power the lone consistent show at No. 1. No. 2 is a surprise: Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum's fashion competition series Making the Cut climbs the rankings to the highest spot it's been in during Season 3. A League of Their Own continues its appearing and disappearing act, joining the list again at No. 8. But there's more potential chaos coming this week: How will this list handle Thursday Night Football, which premieres this Thursday? It's a show, but it also isn't a show, right?

The top 10 movies and shows on Prime Video are listed below, but we're not just listing them; we're also putting our opinions on there to help you figure out which are worth watching. And to help you plan what you'll watch next, we've added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.
