Paramount+ is always adding new movies perfect for a weekend movie marathon. This month is no exception for the streaming service either, with hundreds of new movies already added to Paramount+ in February 2026. There's a wide range of genres among all those new films, from romance dramas to dark comedies and more. So the question then becomes, where do you even start watching?
So without further delay, let's start watching. Here are the three new to Paramount+ movies you need to stream this weekend.
‘The Reader' (2008)
Genre: Romance drama
What's it about? "The Reader" stars David Kross as a young Michael Berg, a 15-year-old boy who strikes up an unexpected romantic relationship with 36-year-old Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet). It's a summer romance that ends abruptly, but that comes back into Michael's life when, in law school, he sees her on trial as a Nazi war criminal.
Why you should watch it: This movie takes place across decades, with Ralph Fiennes portraying Michael in his older years. It portrays an incredibly complicated relationship that harbors secrets beyond Hanna's Nazi past, and its one of those secrets that's the propelling force of this movie. Come for the intriguing premise, stay for Kate Winslet's performance.

'68 Kill' (2017)
Genre: Black comedy crime thriller
What's it about? Chip (Matthew Gray Gubler) gets caught up in a robbery gone wrong when his girlfriend, Liza (AnnaLynne McCord), decides to rob and kill her landlord. But she doesn't manage to kill Violet (Alisha Boe), who witnesses the whole thing. Liza then puts Violet in the trunk of her car, which Chip promptly steals, with Violet and the money inside it. Now he's on the run from Liza and her murderous brother, Dwayne, and it's not going smoothly
Why you should watch it: This movie isn't necessarily for everyone, but if you like an unhinged thrill ride, then it should be a fun time at the very least. Plus, chances are you've never seen it — it only made $96,343 at the box office.

'Sixteen Candles' (1984)
Genre: Coming-of-age teen comedy
What's it about? Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald has just turned 16, and like most 16-year-olds, she's dealing with some problems in the romance department. On the one hand, there's high school senior Jake Ryan (Michael Schoeffling), whom Sam has a crush on but doesn't seem to like her back. On the other hand, there's freshman Ted Farmer (Anthony Michael Hall), who is definitely into Sam but might not be her type.
Why you should watch it: John Hughes is a beloved writer and director with a killer resume, but this is probably on the Mount Rushmore alongside "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "The Breakfast Club" and "Home Alone." All four are seminal works, but only "Sixteen Candles" was just added to Paramount+. Stream it last of these three films as a palate cleanser, or just skip right to it if you only have time for one movie.
