Paramount+ is a great streaming service if you're building a weekend movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies to the platform each month. It just added over 80 new movies and shows on August 1. Many of these are beloved classics or more modern hits. A few times a month, you also get brand-new movies from Paramount Skydance studios.
This week, I've selected a few classics. Well, one of them might just be a classic to me, but I digress. First up, I'm recommending "Blade Runner 2049," a sequel to "Blade Runner" that's arguably as good as the original. Then, you'll want to check out "From Dusk Till Dawn," which is kind of like "Sinners," but without any of the poignancy about life in Jim Crow South. Instead, you get George Clooney killing vampires and Quentin Tarantino with Selma Hayek's foot in his mouth. Finally, I'm wrapping things up with "The Score," a wonderful heist thriller with a stunning cast.
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 August 2026.
'Balde Runner 2049
Genre: Science fiction movie
What's it about? Set thirty years after "Blade Runner," this sequel stars Ryan Gosling as LAPD Officer K. As a blade runner, he's a replicant, aka a bioengineered humanoid. His job is to hunt down replicants that go rogue. But that leads him to Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) and opens up a conspiracy with massive implications for this futuristic world.
Why you should watch it: "Blade Runner" is a classic, but "Blade Runner 2049" is right up there with it. If "Arrival" heralded director Denis Villeneuve as a sci-fi master, this movie cemented it, as have his subsequent "Dune" adaptations. If you've never seen it, it's a must-watch.

'From Dusk Till Dawn' (1996)
Genre: Crime action-horror movie
What's it about? "From Dusk Till Dawn" stars George Clooney as bank robber Seth Gecko. He and his murderous brother (Quentin Tarantino) have just knocked over a bank, leaving death in their wake. They spot Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his motor home, and, holding him and his family hostage, they head to Mexico to escape the law. But things go from bad to worse when they arrive at an all-night strip club in the desert that's a haven for vampires.
Why you should watch it: This is not the greatest movie ever made. But it is a blast to watch. "Sinners" clearly draws some influence, though it executes the vision far better and with a much deeper story. This is also a rare Tarantino movie he didn't direct.

'The Score' (2001)
Genre: Heist thriller movie
What's it about? Nick Wells (Robert De Niro) is a safe cracker who is ready to retire with his girlfriend Diane (Angela Bassett) and run his jazz club in Montréal. But when Brian, revealed to really be aspiring master criminal Jack Teller (Edward Norton), comes to Nick with a plan to steal a priceless sceptre, Nick eventually agrees to join, but only if he's in total control.
Why you should watch it: Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Marlon Brando and Angela Bassett. All in the same movie. That's 22 combined Oscar nominations in acting categories, with four wins (two for De Niro and two for Brando). You'd be hard-pressed to find a more loaded cast in any movie ever made.
