3 rom-coms on Prime Video you need to watch in September

Now that the weather is getting cooler and fall is on its way, you might be looking to curl up with a good rom-com while you relax after a hard day’s work, for a date night on the weekend, or maybe just for a night in by yourself. From the classics to modern takes on the genre, Prime Video has plenty of rom-coms from which to choose.

With these three rom-coms worth watching in September, you can take a walk down memory lane and head back to the ‘80s with an iconic flick, delve into an forbidden LGBTQ  romance in a story based on a popular young adult novel, or, for those who prefer more comedy and less romance, laugh heartily along with a hilarious 2010s story of an unexpected, but totally charming coupling.

When Harry Met Sally… (1989)

When Harry Met Sally (1989) - Official Trailer (HD)

“I’ll have what she’s having” has become part of the common vernacular as one of the most quotable lines from a movie, and it hails from this classic 1980s rom-com. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal set out in When Harry Met Sally… to ask the age-old question: Can a man and a woman truly be just friends? Sure, the premise might be dated, but the humor holds up today in this comedy classic, which is also one of the most charming rom-coms ever made.

Nora Ephron’s witty, Oscar-nominated screenplay follows the two main characters, Harry (Crystal) and Sally (Ryan), as they continue to cross paths through various points in their lives. Each time, they happen to run into one another following a pivotal moment or change and lean on one another for support and friendship. But it quickly becomes apparent that there’s more to their bond beyond the platonic.

Red, White & Royal Blue (2023)

Red, White, & Royal Blue - Official Trailer | Prime Video

An Amazon Original, Red, White & Royal Blue tells an age-old story of forbidden love with a modern twist. Based on the novel of the same name by Casey McQuiston, the two potential romantic partners in question are the young son of the U.S. president and a British prince. While they initially butt heads and are forced to spend time with one another to save face, the pair begin to develop romantic feelings.

This, however, presents a whole new set of challenges for their respective families and influential positions. It’s a sweet and strangely relatable coming-of-age story despite the social stature of the two leads, one of whom wants to go public and the other who fears of the blowback from his family.

She’s Out Of My League (2010)

She's Out of My League (2010) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

The “nerdy” guy and “hot” girl trope has been done time and time again, and despite the mixed reviews for this interpretation, there’s something endearing about Canadian actor Jay Baruchel that makes it work. He plays Kirk, a TSA agent who gains the attention of an attractive young woman named Molly (Alice Eve) when he happens to be the only person who doesn’t treat her like a piece of meat. He’s blown away when, through a series of later meetings, he is told that she’s actually interested in him. How could that be possible? She is, as the title indicates, totally “out of his league.”

The story in She’s Out Of My League is a funny one, but it’s also about acceptance and confidence in oneself. The messaging is positive even if the storylines are silly, and there’s an arguably predictable ending. Nonetheless, it’s a fun watch, and rewatch.

The best new shows to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max (HBO), and more
The title character of Invincible rocks his new costume in this picture from season 3.

It's Super Bowl weekend, and that's the only explanation we can think of as to why there are so few new streaming shows this week. The only show of note is Amazon Prime Video's Invincible, a mature superhero animated series from Robert Kirkman, the co-creator of The Walking Dead. This is one of the few comic book shows that doesn't pull its punches, and we mean that quite literally.
Since there are no other new shows worth mentioning, we're spotlighting a classic series that has just arrived on Hulu: New York Undercover. This drama ran on Fox just over three decades ago, and it was groundbreaking for its time.
You can find the rest of the best new shows to stream below. We update this list every Friday to keep you up to date on the most binge-worthy new additions.
When you're done here, check out the best new movies to stream this week, as well as the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, the best new shows on Max, the best shows on Amazon Prime Video, and the best shows on Disney+.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, and Apple TV+ all have one thing in common: They're more expensive than they used to be. We can live with higher rates as long as new shows keep coming, but it's always a good idea to consider signing up for the ad-supported tiers, which are worth it if you can sit through a few commercials.

3 underrated movies on Hulu you need to watch in February 2025
Kristin Stewart in the 2020 film Underwater

Hulu's movie selection for February combines prestige plays with blockbuster success. The Oscar-nominated A Real Pain is heavily featured on the streamer. Jesse Eisenberg's road-trip dramedy received two Academy Award nominations, including Best Supporting Actor for Kieran Culkin. Elsewhere, the biggest blockbuster on Hulu's homepage is Alien: Romulus, the latest terrifying chapter in the Alien franchise.
A Real Pain and Alien: Romulus will certainly be seen by many subscribers. However, there are numerous movies to watch that can be found on the genre pages. If you scroll carefully, you'll find a few diamonds in the rough. To save you time, here are three underrated movies to watch right now. Our picks include a quick thriller, an alien-in-the-ocean horror, and a raunchy comedy.

Underwater (2020)
Underwater | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX
Underwater channels Ridley Scott's Alien, posing the question: What if the creature were beneath the surface? Directed by William Eubank, Underwater follows a group of employees at a research and drilling facility at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Part of the facility is destroyed during an underwater earthquake.
With no escape pods left, the group — including Norah Price (Kristen Stewart), Captain Lucien (Vincent Cassel), and Paul Abel (T.J. Miller) — decides that their only chance of survival is to walk to another research base one mile across the ocean floor. Big mistake because unknown creatures terrorize the crew upon their every movement. Like Alien, the team must get creative to survive or risk a painful death.
Watch Underwater on Hulu.
Phone Booth (2002)

Colin Farrell is in the midst of a career-defining run thanks to his Oscar-nominated role in The Banshees of Inisherin and his Golden Globe-winning turn as Oz Cobb in The Penguin. Farrell's always done good work throughout his three-decade run. Phone Booth is a case in point for Farrell's early work. Farrell stars as Stu Shepard, a sleazy New York City publicist who has been unfaithful to his wife Kelly (Radha Mitchell).
While in Times Square, Stu enters a phone booth to call his mistress. A mysterious man (Kiefer Sutherland) calls the booth and forces Stu to remain inside the phone booth. Stu doesn't take this threat seriously. However, this is no laughing matter. The man holds Stu at gunpoint and tells him to obey the rules or face the consequences. Phone Booth is a brisk 81-minute nail-biter with a good cat-and-mouse dynamic between Farrell and Sutherland.
Watch Phone Booth on Hulu.
Dirty Grandpa (2016)
Dirty Grandpa (2016 Movie - Zac Efron, Robert De Niro) Official Trailer – “Get Dirty”
It's OK to laugh at stupid humor. There is a lot of lewdness, raunchiness, and stupidity in Dirty Grandpa. Not everything has to be Citizen Kane. Sometimes, watching Zac Efron and Robert De Niro embark on a hijinks-fueled road trip will suffice. Jason Kelly (Efron) is a high-strung Alabama lawyer who will soon marry his boss's Type A daughter (Julianne Hough) in one week.
Before Jason walks down the aisle, he must drive his grandfather, Richard "Dick" Kelly (De Niro), to Boca Raton, Florida. While on the road trip, Dick tricks Jason into driving them to spring break in Daytona Beach, Florida. While Dick wants to party with booze and women, Jason cannot stop thinking about his future and refuses to relax. That's where Grandpa comes in, who shows his grandson how to let loose and have a good time.

Tubi's lineup continues to improve each month. Some standout titles in February include Dune, Denis Villeneuve's first movie of a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel; Easy A, Emma Stone's hilarious teen comedy; and Licorice Pizza, Paul Thomas Anderson's sweet coming-of-age tale.

The Terminator (1984)

"I'll be back." 40 years later, that phrase from The Terminator still has a stranglehold on pop culture. Those three words were uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger's titular Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day lead the human resistance against machines.
