Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Popular Today, September 7

No surprise here: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is once again the No. 1 show on Amazon Prime Video's Top 10 Shows and Movies list, and it could be No. 1 for the rest of time, as far as I'm concerned. One show that's also glad The Rings of Power is here is The Wheel of Time, which jumps up to No. 7 on the list despite being almost 10 months old. The working theory here is that Lord of the Rings fans who became subscribers to watch The Rings of Power are now also checking out Prime Video's other big fantasy series. Sadly, there's no baseball in Middle-earth, and A League of Their Own, which had a recent lengthy run in the No. 1 spot, has vanished from the list entirely. 

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.

Coming soon to Prime Video:

• Flight/Risk - This documentary film investigates two crashes of Boeing 737s that happened just months apart. Yes, it's the same topic that Netflix's Downfall: The Case Against Boeing covered earlier this year. (Sept. 9)

New releases on Prime Video:

• Friday Night Lights Seasons 1-5 - The classic drama series that's about so much more than high school football was just added to Prime Video, and it's worth checking out if you've never seen it.
