10. ‘Faster’ (2010)

‘Faster’ is an action thriller that tracks an ex-con known only as Driver, who leaves prison and immediately begins hunting down the people responsible for his brother’s death after a botched robbery. Dwayne Johnson plays Driver, with Billy Bob Thornton as a worn-down detective and Oliver Jackson-Cohen as a contract killer who is hired to stop him, creating a three-way pursuit. The film was directed by George Tillman Jr. and produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, State Street Pictures, and CBS Films, with distribution handled domestically by CBS Films and internationally by Sony. It features a heavily showcased Chevrolet Chevelle that becomes a visual signature for the character, and it combines straightforward revenge plotting with procedural elements as law enforcement unravels the events behind the original crime.

9. ‘Grown Ups 2’ (2013)

‘Grown Ups 2’ continues the story of Lenny Feder and his childhood friends, this time focusing on the chaos that unfolds after Lenny moves his family back to his hometown and reconnects with the old gang. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, and David Spade return, joined again by Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph, with new additions such as Nick Swardson and several cameo appearances. Directed by Dennis Dugan and produced by Happy Madison, the film was shot largely in Massachusetts, which stands in for the fictional Connecticut town where the story is set. Despite strongly negative critical reviews, it drew large audiences worldwide and delivered a substantial profit at the box office, reinforcing the commercial appeal of Sandler’s ensemble comedies.

8. ‘She’s Out of My League’ (2010)

‘She’s Out of My League’ is a romantic comedy about Kirk, an airport security worker who unexpectedly begins dating Molly, a successful and conventionally attractive event planner, leading his friends and family to doubt the relationship’s chances.

The film was directed by Jim Field Smith, written by Sean Anders and John Morris, and produced by DreamWorks Pictures with distribution handled by Paramount. Much of the filming took place in and around Pittsburgh, using recognizable city locations such as PNC Park and Pittsburgh International Airport to ground the story.

7. ‘Fight or Flight’ (2025)

‘Fight or Flight’ is an action comedy set almost entirely aboard a commercial airliner, where a mercenary named Lucas Reyes is hired to locate and eliminate a mysterious hacker known as “The Ghost”. Josh Hartnett plays Reyes, who quickly discovers that the plane is packed with rival assassins and must ally with his original target to survive the journey. Directed by James Madigan from a script by Brooks McLaren and D. J. Cotrona, the film blends hand-to-hand fights, firearms, and improvised weapons in a confined setting. It is a UK-US co-production backed by companies including Asbury Park Productions and was released theatrically before moving to digital platforms and, later, streaming availability on services such as Paramount+.

6. ‘Shooter’ (2007)

‘Shooter’ is an action thriller that centers on Bob Lee Swagger, a former Marine scout sniper who is coaxed out of isolation to help prevent an assassination, only to be framed for the crime himself. Mark Wahlberg leads the cast as Swagger, with Michael Peña, Danny Glover, Kate Mara, and Elias Koteas playing key roles in the conspiracy that unfolds. The film is adapted from Stephen Hunter’s novel ‘Point of Impact’ and keeps much of the book’s focus on ballistics, tactical planning, and political intrigue. Produced by di Bonaventura Pictures and released by Paramount, it pairs large-scale set pieces with investigations into corruption at high levels of government and private security.

5. ‘Grown Ups’ (2010)

‘Grown Ups’ follows a group of childhood basketball teammates who reunite after the death of their former coach and bring their families together for a lakeside getaway. The ensemble is led by Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider, with Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph among the main supporting cast. Directed by Dennis Dugan and produced under Sandler’s Happy Madison banner, the film focuses on the friends navigating parenthood, careers, and aging while trying to recapture the easy camaraderie of their youth. Distributed by Sony’s Columbia Pictures label, it significantly outperformed its production budget and became one of Sandler’s biggest box-office successes, spawning a sequel that brought many of the same characters back.

4. ‘Vicious’ (2025)

‘Vicious’ is a 2025 horror film written and directed by Bryan Bertino and released on Paramount+ following a change from its original theatrical plans. The movie stars Dakota Fanning as Polly, a woman whose life is upended when an elderly stranger gives her a mysterious box and tells her that she will die that night, triggering a series of reality-bending, psychologically driven hauntings. Over the course of one long night, Polly must satisfy the box’s demand to provide something she hates, something she needs and something she loves, while confronting traumatic memories and distorted apparitions of her family. After premiering at Fantastic Fest, the film debuted on Paramount+ in October 2025, positioning it as one of the platform’s key horror offerings for the year.

3. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ brings back Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, now a veteran test pilot tasked with training an elite group of graduates for a near-impossible strike mission. The story connects directly to the original ‘Top Gun’, weaving in references to Maverick’s past while introducing new characters like Rooster, the son of his former wingman. Produced by Paramount Pictures and Skydance, the film uses extensive practical aerial photography, with real fighter jets and specially developed camera rigs to capture high-G maneuvers. The movie became one of the highest-grossing releases in Paramount’s history worldwide and received multiple major award nominations, including recognition from the Academy for its technical achievements and overall production.

Directed by Adam McKay, the film stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, with Richard Jenkins, Mary Steenburgen, Adam Scott, and Kathryn Hahn rounding out the ensemble. The story follows the new stepbrothers as they initially feud, then bond, and eventually attempt to function as adults in work and family life. Produced by Gary Sanchez Productions and distributed by Sony, the comedy earned more than its production budget at the box office and later gained a strong following on home media and streaming.

1. ‘The Naked Gun’ (2025)

‘The Naked Gun’ is a legacy sequel in the spoof franchise that follows Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original Frank Drebin, as he tries to keep Police Squad from being shut down while unraveling a high-stakes criminal plot.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer from a screenplay he co-wrote, it is produced by Fuzzy Door Productions and released by Paramount Pictures as the fourth film in the series. The movie keeps the slapstick, sight gags, and dense parody style of the earlier entries while updating the setting to contemporary policing and technology.
