c’è is singular; the subject “film” is plural, so you need the plural form ci sono.
Su Prime Video ci sono dei belli film.
Before a masculine plural noun the adjective becomes “bei”, not “belli”.
Su Prime Video ci sono dei bello film.
The adjective must agree in number and gender; “bello” is singular masculine.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, the impersonal ci + verb construction is the standard way to talk about the existence of things. The adjective bello has an irregular plural form before a masculine plural noun (bei) – many learners mistakenly use “belli”. Also, “film” stays the same in singular and plural, so the surrounding words (article, adjective) are what signal the number.
