Paramount+ just added 70 new movies and shows to start July 2026. The first of the month is typically when the streaming service adds the majority of its new movies and shows, and the dozens that were just added should be more than enough for you to try and watch in a single month.
In fact, there might be so many choices that it overwhelms you. Don't worry, though, I've already looked through everything coming to Paramount+ in July, and I know exactly which of these movies and shows are a must-watch.
Top of the list is "City of God," an Oscar-worthy Brazilian film that's now over 20 years old but no less incredible. Then, you'll want to check out Richard Linklater's "Everybody Wants Some!!" Finally, I'm rounding out the list with a trio of war films: "Glory," "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Hacksaw Ridge."
So, without further delay, let's dive into the five newly added to Paramount+ movies and shows that I think you need to be streaming right now.

5 Paramount+ movies and shows to stream right now
'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 narrated by Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues), a resident of Rio's Cidade de Deus (City of God) favela who dreams of being a photographer. So when a gang war between drug dealers Li'l Zé (Leandro Firmino) and Carrot (Matheus Nachtergaele) breaks out in the favela, Rocket seizes the opportunity to find a life outside the Brazilian slum.
Why you should watch it: It's insane that, despite earning nominations for Best Director, Best Cinematography and more, "City of God" somehow didn't make the shortlist for Best Foreign Language Film. Don't let that dissuade you from watching it; this is an excellent movie.

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

'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, the first all-Black regiment in the U.S. military. It's an ensemble performance that features 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.

'Good Morning, Vietnam' (1987)
Genre: War comedy-drama movie
What's it about? This 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: "Good Morning, Vietnam" may be funny, but it's still a war movie with plenty of drama. 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.

'Hacksaw Ridge' (2016)
Genre: Biographical epic war movie
What's it about? Based on the 2004 documentary The Conscientious Objector," this movie stars Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss. As a Seventh-day Adventist, Doss refused to wield a weapon during World War II, opting instead to serve as a combat medic.
Why you should watch it: Say what you will about Mel Gibson as a person, but he can certainly direct a movie. So I have to recommend still checking this movie out for artistic reasons. It's also worth seeing the portrayal of Doss's incredible story, which sees him become the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
