What kind of movies is Paramount+ best for?

A century-deep vault: Mission: Impossible, Top Gun, The Godfather, plus new Paramount theatrical releases that show up on the service not long after cinemas.

How quickly do new Paramount movies reach Paramount+?

Paramount's recent pattern puts many theatrical releases on Paramount+ within about two months, so this list regularly picks up films that were just in theaters.

How do we agree on one Paramount+ movie as a group?

Spin up a PickFlix room with Paramount+ selected and let everyone swipe the same deck. The franchise fan and the classics person get an equal vote, and the top-voted film wins.

Is PickFlix included with Paramount+ or separate?

PickFlix is a separate, free tool with nothing to install or pay for. Any Paramount+ tier can stream this page's picks; the pricier plan mainly adds Showtime content and loses the ads.
