Paramount+ is a great streaming service for putting together your next movie marathon. Dozens of movies are added each month. In fact, it just added 93 new movies and shows on June 1. It’s not just older classics either. The service regularly adds new movies from Paramount Skydance studios.
This week, I’ve put together three movies that I’d hit play on before any other. Top of the list is “Clerks,” one of the greatest indie movies ever made. You also want to check out “True Grit” (2010), which is an underrated Coen brothers adaptation of a John Wayne classic. Finally, “Scream 7” is the latest installment of the iconic slasher franchise, and it is finally streaming at home in case you missed it in theaters earlier this year.
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 June 2026.
Malcolm McMillan
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.
‘Clerks’ (1994)
Genre: Black-and-white comedy
What’s it about: “Clerks” stars Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson as Dante and Randal, a pair of convenience store clerks at a New Jersey Quick Stop. The movie follows their mundane lives as they try to make it through a day’s shift, and as you’ll see, they don’t manage to fully succeed.
Why you should watch it: Kevin Smith’s debut movie is still an incredible achievement in independent filmmaking, even though there’s nothing technically masterful about it. The plot is great, and the movie is hysterically funny at times. Plus, it’s the first appearance of Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith). Don’t believe this is a must-watch? Just check out this scene arguing the ethics of being a contractor on the Death Star in “Star Wars.”

‘True Grit’ (2010)
Genre: Western movie
What’s it about? An adaptation of the 1969 John Wayne classic, “True Grit” stars Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn. He’s a drunkard lawman hired by 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) to hunt down the outlaw Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), who murdered her father. Joining them on the journey is Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), who is also hunting Chaney and doesn’t have a friendly history with Cogburn.
Why you should watch it: The 2010 version of “True Grit” might be the most mainstream film the Coens have ever made. But while it lacks some of their trademark quirkiness, it still features their witty dialogue and impressive cinematography. It’s definitely a must-watch now that it’s on Paramount+.

‘Scream 7’ (2026)
Genre: Slasher horror movie
What’s it about? “Scream 7” has Neve Campbell returning to the world of slasher horror, reprising her role as Sidney Prescott. She’s trying to live a peaceful life in Indiana and just wants to leave Ghostface in the past. But that hope turns to ash when the killer reveals himself to her and targets her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May). So Sidney teams up with her old frenemy, Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), to take Ghostface down.
Why you should watch it: Critics were not fans of “Scream 7”, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. That said, audiences found it far more enjoyable, so it’s still worth a watch for “Scream” completionists or horror movie buffs.
