Looking for something new to watch this weekend? You've come to the right place, and, subsequently, the right streaming platform. Paramount+ is one of the best streaming services for building a great movie marathon.

Beyond the brand-new releases that drop a few times a month, it's got plenty of excellent catalog films, from classics to modern hits, and it keeps adding more all the time. In fact, it recently added a massive batch of new titles that are well worth skimming through and checking out all the gems.

This week, I've hand-picked three very different flicks that have just joined the platform and are well worth diving into this weekend: a war epic, some truly deranged body horror, and one of the best scary movies of the last decade.

Here are the three Paramount+ movies you need to be streaming this weekend. If you're looking for more recommendations, check out our full guide to everything new on Paramount+ in October 2026.

What's it about? This is the extended cut of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 Vietnam War masterpiece, which adds about 49 minutes of restored footage to an already monumental film. Loosely adapted from Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and set in 1969, it follows Army Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen), on a secret mission deep into the Cambodian jungle to find and assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), an officer who's gone rogue and set himself up as a god among a local tribe. But the journey becomes more of a descent into the madness and stark collapse of the war itself soon enough, making this uncomfortable watch feel like a fever dream.
