From buzzy new premieres to comfort-rewatch classics, Paramount+ has a crowd-pleasing mix right now. Below is a quick countdown of what viewers have been pressing play on this week, starting at 10 and moving to the top spot—so you can jump straight to whatever fits your mood tonight.

10. ‘Sleepy Hollow’ (1999)

‘Sleepy Hollow’ adapts Washington Irving’s tale with Tim Burton’s gothic production design and Danny Elfman’s score. Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane, reimagined as a proto-forensics investigator, with Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel. The film’s crafts earned awards attention, including an Oscar for Art Direction/Set Decoration. It’s an autumnal favorite for fans of period horror with ornate sets and moody atmosphere.

9. ‘Scream’ (1996)

‘Scream’ re-energized slasher filmmaking with a self-aware script and rules-savvy characters. Directed by Wes Craven, it stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette as a small town faces a masked killer with a movie-buff streak. The film sparked a long-running franchise, multiple sequels, and a recognizable killer motif that crossed into mainstream culture. Its blend of mystery structure and horror set-pieces makes it a perennial Halloween-season watch.

8. ‘The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!’ (1988)

‘The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!’ is the franchise’s first feature film, directed by David Zucker and starring Leslie Nielsen as hapless cop Frank Drebin. Adapted from the short-lived TV series ‘Police Squad!’, it strings together rapid-fire gags, visual jokes, and deadpan wordplay. Priscilla Presley and O. J. Simpson co-star in a plot involving an assassination attempt tied to international intrigue. It remains one of the definitive studio parodies of the late ’80s.

7. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ brings back Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell to train an elite detachment for a near-impossible strike mission. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, it features aerial photography captured with custom camera rigs in real fighter jets. Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and Glen Powell round out the cast in a sequel that builds directly on the 1986 original’s legacy. The film earned major accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Sound.

6. ‘Men in Black’ (1997)

‘Men in Black’ blends sci-fi and comedy as two secret agents police extraterrestrial life on Earth. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, it stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as partners navigating memory-wipes, alien tech, and a planet-threatening conspiracy. The movie kicked off a long-running franchise with sequels, animated spinoffs, and enduring pop-culture catchphrases. It’s a go-to catalog title that still plays briskly at under 100 minutes.

5. ‘Fight or Flight’ (2025)

‘Fight or Flight’ is an action-comedy set almost entirely aboard a commercial flight, directed by James Madigan. Josh Hartnett stars as an exiled agent assigned to identify and protect a high-value target while assassins converge mid-air; Charithra Chandran and Katee Sackhoff co-star. The movie runs 102 minutes and began streaming on Paramount+ in early October 2025 after its spring theatrical rollout. Expect high-concept mayhem, from aisle-brawls to wild, mid-flight set pieces.

4. ‘Step Brothers’ (2008)

‘Step Brothers’ pairs Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as adult men forced to live together when their parents marry. Directed by Adam McKay, it became a quotable comedy staple and a frequent catalog favorite on streaming. The story tracks the duo’s rivalry-to-bonding arc as they sabotage job interviews, form a band, and finally attempt to grow up. It’s an easy pick if you want a familiar laugh with a tight 98-minute runtime.

3. ‘Ozzy: No Escape from Now’ (2025)

‘Ozzy: No Escape from Now’ is a feature documentary chronicling Ozzy Osbourne’s final six years, including his health struggles and studio work on later-career albums. It features candid interviews with Ozzy, Sharon, and their children, alongside artists like Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde, and James Hetfield. The film premiered on Paramount+ on October 7, 2025, and is directed by Tania Alexander. It offers a detailed timeline from a life-changing fall in 2019 through farewell performances and family reflections.

2. ‘Vicious’ (2025)

‘Vicious’ is a recent Paramount+ addition, a horror-thriller from director Bryan Bertino and starring Dakota Fanning. It follows a cursed-object setup that spirals into escalating, supernatural torment for the lead character. The film began streaming on the service in October 2025, making it one of the newest genre titles on the platform. If you’re browsing for fresh horror, this is one of this month’s high-profile drops.

1. ‘The Naked Gun’ (2025)

‘The Naked Gun’ revives the slapstick cop-spoof franchise with a new caper led by Liam Neeson and directed by Akiva Schaffer. The film is a legacy sequel continuing the misadventures launched by the original run of movies and the ‘Police Squad!’ TV series. Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser co-star, with the movie streaming on Paramount+ following its 2025 release. It’s designed as an on-ramp for newcomers while nodding to long-time fans of the franchise.
