How far would you go to watch a good movie? Would you scale a mountain? Travel the world? Dance with Willem Dafoe on a Greek island?
Fortunately, you don’t have to do all that — but, courtesy of streamers like Apple TV and Prime Video, you can watch all that and more this weekend.
Watch With Us has another list of can’t-miss films to stream these next three days, with the fact-based mountain-climbing adventure Tenzing topping the list.
We also recommend streaming Love of Your Life, Prime Video’s romantic drama starring Margaret Qualley and Lanterns’ Aaron Pierre, the under-the-radar film The Birthday Party and Hugh Jackman’s violent action flick, The Death of Robin Hood.
‘Tenzing’ (2026) — Apple TV

Mount Everest is one of the most difficult mountains to climb in the world, but thousands of people risk their lives every year to do it. But there was a time when the highest mountain on Earth was out of reach for all humanity until Tenzing Norgay (Genden Phuntsok) made the impossible possible in 1953, when he and Sir Edmund Hillary (Tom Hiddleston) climbed the natural wonder with some tools, a little food and a whole lot of bravery.
This amazing real-life event is beautifully dramatized in the new Apple TV film Tenzing, which chronicles Tenzing and Hillary’s history-making feat. Shot on location in Nepal and the Everest region, the 125-minute film puts you in both men’s frozen shoes as they defy impossible odds and venture into one of the last remaining places untouched by man. Tenzing features stunning photography and note-perfect performances from Phuntsok, Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe as a fellow climber, but its best quality is its focus on its subject’s spiritual connection to Everest and his desire to experience its natural beauty rather than conquer it.
‘Love of Your Life’ (2026) — Prime Video

Maya (Qualley) is a twentysomething woman running from her past, and she travels the world to get away from it. She recently lost her husband, Charlie (Gabriel Basso), and she doesn’t want to deal with the trauma of his death. That’s why she works abroad in Tokyo and London — but constantly moving, she believes she won’t have to come to terms with her heartbreak. But when she meets single dad Felix (Pierre) in Lisbon, her heart begins to open again. Can she find new love without saying goodbye to her last one?
Love of Your Life has a title and premise straight out of Hallmark, but it’s better and deeper than Mistletoe and Mimosas. (Yes, that’s an actual Hallmark movie.) Directed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Rachel Morrison, the film has a top-notch cast led by Qualley, who portrays a woman not yet equipped to deal with losing a husband at such a young age. She learns that she can’t outrun her feelings, not even in postcard-perfect locales like Lisbon, and she has to deal with her grief head-on to move forward. Love of Your Life still offers great-looking locales and fantastic romantic chemistry between Qualley and Pierre, but it’s less a love story and more a drama about a woman facing a pivotal moment in her life.
‘The Birthday Party’ (2026) — Lionsgate+ on Prime Video

Marcos Timoleon (Dafoe) is the type of man who wears tailored suits and can throw a wild and expensive party on a luxury Greek island if he wants to. He does so for his beloved daughter Sofia (Vic Carmen Sonne) to celebrate her 25th birthday. But Sofia has a surprise of her own to share as the party drags on, and if there’s one thing you should know about Marcos, it’s that he hates surprises.
The only thing he hates more is Ian Forster (Joe Cole), Sofia’s boyfriend, and when the night’s over, one or more of their lives will be changed forever.
Adapted from the same-titled novel by Panos Karnezis, The Birthday Party focuses less on plot and more on character and mood. The film convincingly places you in the middle of a party that spirals out of control, with Dafoe’s Marcos alternating between being devilishly charming and acting like the Devil itself. The movie meanders a bit, but it’s worth watching to see Dafoe sing, dance and scheme to win the heart of a rebellious daughter who may not love him.
‘The Death of Robin Hood’ (2026) — HBO

Hugh Jackman stars as the fabled outlaw in this dark take on the popular character, which doesn’t feature most of Robin’s merry men because they’ve all been executed. The 2026 film chronicles an older and bitter Robin Hood, whose legend as a thief who robs from the rich and gives to the poor turns out to be false. Instead, this Robin Hood is a ruthless killer who has slaughtered men, women and even children. He gets a shot at redemption when the only friend he has left, Little John (Bill Skarsgård), asks him to help rescue his family. But is Robin too old and stubborn to change his dark ways?
Bleak and unsentimental, The Death of Robin Hood lives up to its title. There’s a lot of death to go around in the Michael Sarnoski film and not a whole lot of fun. Still, it’s an absorbing picture that convincingly recreates what life was actually like in the High Middle Ages. It also has one of Jackman’s best recent performances. Who knew the man who played the all-singing, all-dancing P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman could be convincing as a medieval killer?
