Some streamers have hits, but Paramount+ owns legends. From Corleone family crime sagas to deep-space diplomacy aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, this platform is practically a vault of cinematic royalty. Whether it is Tom Cruise sprinting through global espionage or Audrey Hepburn redefining elegance, Paramount+ carries the kind of legacy you do not just watch, you experience. And just when you think it has played its full hand, it goes and deals a fresh set of aces.
Among the latest additions are stirring tales of adolescence, quiet heartbreaks, fading Americana, and cross-country reckonings, each worth every frame.
1. Minari
Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari
is the American Dream, replanted, seasoned with kimchi, and watered with generational hope. This tender tale of a Korean-American family trying to grow literal and metaphorical roots in Arkansas captured hearts and hardware alike. It won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Youn Yuh-jung, and was nominated for six Oscars total. Emotional, earthy, and elegantly told, it is quietly unforgettable.

2. The Edge of Seventeen
High school never felt this hilariously raw. Hailee Steinfeld, in one of her best performances, channels the glorious awkwardness of teenhood with unmatched precision. Kelly Fremon Craig’s script is so sharp, it could file your nails. Though overlooked by the Oscars, a snub worthy of being added to the list of biggest Oscars snubs
, The Edge of Seventeen
earned Hailee Steinfeld a Golden Globe nomination and a loyal cult following among those still emotionally paying rent in high school

3. Nebraska
In Nebraska
, Alexander Payne paints the Midwest in fifty shades of gray, literally. Bruce Dern shuffles through the monochrome landscape, chasing a dubious fortune with dogged determination. It is a road trip of revelations, where the destination is less important than the detours. A melancholic masterpiece with a twinkle in its eye.
4. Atlantic City
Louis Malle’s Atlantic City
is like champagne poured in a plastic cup, elegant, bittersweet, and quietly tragic. Burt Lancaster won the BAFTA and snagged an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, while the film itself was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture. It is a love letter to second acts, fading glitz, and the bittersweet shimmer of what might have been.

Outside With You
follows a young couple as they navigate the delicate spaces between intimacy and distance.

As the characters experience moments of solitude and subtle interactions, the movie invites viewers to reflect on the deeper meanings of love, personal growth, and the beauty found in silence. Its understated charm makes it a standout in the indie film landscape.
