Paramount+ is perfect for building your next movie marathon. The streaming service adds dozens of movies to the platform each month, and it just added 70 new movies and shows on July 1 alone. 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 couple of classics alongside a more modern hit. At the top of the list is "Everybody Wants Some!!," and while it's the newest movie on this list, it feels like a classic. Then, there's "Good Morning, Vietnam," which might be my favorite Robin Williams performance of any movie he's been in. Finally, I'm going with "Marathon Man," a Dustin Hoffman thriller that nearly broke the actor thanks to a scene where he has to stay awake for three days.
So without further ado, 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.

'Everybody Wants Some!!' (2016)
Genre: Comedy movie
What's it about? "Everybody Wants Some!!" stars an incredible ensemble cast that includes Blake Jenner, Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Will Brittain and Wyatt Russell. Arguably a spiritual sequel to "Dazed and Confused," it follows the lives of several college baseball players in Texas in 1980.
Why you should watch it: If "Dazed and Confused" and its 1970s setting are too dated for you, "Everybody Wants Some!!" is a (slightly) more modern take on the coming-of-age tale. It's also an excellent period piece, something that Linklater has nailed more than once in his career.

'Good Morning, Vietnam' (1987)
Genre: War comedy-drama movie
What's it about? "Good Morning, Vietnam" is not your typical Vietnam War movie. Set in Saigon in 1965, it stars Robin Williams as a military radio DJ named Adrian Cronauer (loosely based on real-life events) whose irreverent broadcasts are popular with the troops. He's aided by PFC Edward Garlick (Forest Whitaker) in his endeavours, which don't always jive with what his superiors would like.
Why you should watch it: This war movie may be undeniably funny, but it's still a war movie. And that means plenty of drama and violence. As a decent person, Cronauer tries to connect with the local Vietnamese, but doesn't always take into account that they might not want to connect with him, and with good reason.

'Marathon Man' (1976)
Genre: Suspense thriller movie
What's it about? "Marathon Man" stars Dustin Hoffman as "Babe" Lev. He's a graduate student and distance runner at Columbia University, but his life becomes forever changed when his brother (Roy Schieder) unwittingly gets Babe involved in a plot by Nazi war criminal Christian Szell (Laurence Olivier) to retrieve ill-gotten diamonds from a safe deposit box.
Why you should watch it: This is genuinely a great movie. It was nominated for multiple Oscars, including one for Hoffman's performance. But my favorite thing about this movie is that, to prepare for a scene, Hoffman stayed up for three days with no sleep. When his co-star, Olivier, learned about this, he said, "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?" The intent of this comment was a joke, according to Hoffman, but it's a legendary moment, regardless.
