Paramount+ is a great streaming service for building your next movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies to the platform each month, and even just added 70 new movies and shows on July 1. Many of these are beloved classics or more modern hits, but a few times a month, you even get brand-new movies from Paramount Skydance studios.
This week, I've selected a new movie getting its streaming debut, as well as a few older movies that are absolutely. At the top of the list is "Wardriver," a new crime thriller from last year that's finally arriving on Paramount+. Once you're done streaming that, check out "City of God," which is one of the best foreign language films of this century. Finally, I'm recommending "Glory," a Denzel Washington movie that earned him his first Oscar.
Here are the three new to Paramount+ movies that you need to be streaming this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out our full guide to everything new on Paramount+ in July 2026.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022. He watches dozens of movies every year so you don't have to watch any bad ones.
'Wardriver'
Genre: Crime thriller movie
What's it about? "Wardriver" stars Dane DeHaan as Cole, a hacker. After getting caught up in a cyber heist, he's lured into a deadly game of cat and mouse. If he's not careful, a botched line of code could see him dead.
Why you should watch it: This one is complicated. On the one hand, it got rave reviews from critics. It's currently rated 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. But audiences were far less kind, scoring it just 57% fresh. You'll need to stream it this weekend to see who is right.

'City of God' (2002)
Genre: Brazilian epic crime movie
What's it about: Set in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, "City of God" is centered around Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues), a resident of Cidade de Deus (City of God) favela in Rio de Janeiro. He dreams of being a photographer, and when a gang war between drug dealers Li'l Zé (Leandro Firmino) and Carrot (Matheus Nachtergaele) breaks out in the favela, he seizes the opportunity to find a life outside the Brazilian slum.
Why you should watch it: In one of the worst Oscars snubs in recent memory, "City of God" didn't make the shortlist for Best Foreign Language Film, despite earning nominations for Best Director, Best Cinematography and more. Don't make the same mistake; stream this movie now and see for yourself why this should have taken home a golden statuette.

'Glory' (1989)
![GLORY [1989] – Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-OS-OE1EcHI/maxresdefault.jpg)
Genre: Epic war movie
What's it about? "Glory" tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. This was the first all-Black regiment not just in the Civil War, but in the U.S. military. The film features an ensemble performance that includes Matthew Broderick and Cary Elwes as officers, as well as Morgan Freeman, Andre Braugher, and Denzel Washington as some of the former slaves and freedmen fighting in the infantry ranks.
Why you should watch it: "Glory" is nearly four decades old, but still holds up visually against its modern counterparts. Denzel also wins an Oscar for his performance as Trip, who often serves as a devil's advocate-like figure throughout the movie. It's a performance that leads to some emotionally powerful moments, and a movie that's a must-watch.
