Paramount+ just added over 80 new movies and shows — here are the 3 I'm streaming first

Paramount+ just added over 80 new movies and shows to start August 2026. The first of the month is typically when the streaming service adds the majority of its new movies and shows, and the dozens that were just added should be more than enough for you to try and watch in a single month.

Settle in and claim your spot on the couch, because these three picks I have ready for you have almost nothing in common. But you'll appreciate them just the same. One is "Disturbia", a teen thriller about a kid stuck on house arrest who becomes convinced the man next door is a serial killer. "Wild Wild West" is a $170 million steampunk Western with a giant mechanical spider and a completely straight face, famous now mostly as the movie Will Smith made instead of "The Matrix." And lastly, "You've Got Mail" is a Nora Ephron rom-com that turned dial-up email into a love story. Whether you're in the mood for suspense, spectacle or something romantic, you're in luck with these three picks.

So, without further delay, let's dive into three newly added to Paramount+ movies I suggest you should stream as soon as humanly possible.

3 Paramount+ movies and shows to stream right now

'Disturbia' (2007)

Genre: Thriller movie

What's it about: After his father dies in a car crash, 17-year-old Kale (Shia LaBeouf) comes apart. After he punishes his Spanish teacher he's sentenced to a summer of house arrest with an ankle monitor. His mom (Carrie-Anne Moss) cuts off his TV and video games, so a bored Kale starts watching the neighbors through binoculars instead. When a news report about a missing woman lines up with the actions of his quiet neighbor Robert Turner (David Morse), Kale becomes convinced the man is a serial killer, and he's stuck inside a 100-foot radius with no way to prove it.

Why you should watch it: "Disturbia" is basically "Rear Window" moved to the suburbs and handed to a teenager, which is exactly what the estate holding the rights to that Hitchcock classic argued when it sued the filmmakers in 2008. A judge threw the case out, ruling that one bored guy spying on a neighbor he thinks is a killer is too broad an idea for anyone to own. Lawsuit aside, this is the movie that proved Shia LaBeouf could carry one. Similarities aside, it's a fun thriller worth watching.

'Wild Wild West' (1999)

Genre: Western movie

What's it about: It's 1869, and two agents have been charged with stopping a plot against the newly reunited United States. Jim West (Will Smith) is a fast-shooting Army captain who solves most problems with his fists. Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline) is a gadget-obsessed U.S. Marshal. Their target is Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh), a legless Confederate scientist kidnapping the country's best inventors to build steam-powered war machines, a scheme that ends with an 80-foot mechanical spider stomping across the desert.

Why you should watch it: Will Smith turned down the lead role in "The Matrix" to make this movie. He wanted to go back to his "Men in Black" director Barry Sonnenfeld, so Neo went to Keanu Reeves instead. What Smith got for the trade was one of the priciest films ever made at that point and five Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture, which the original TV show's star showed up to accept in person just to register how much he hated it. It's a fascinating iniquity with a great theme song, though.

'You've Got Mail' (1998)

Genre: Romantic comedy

What's it about: Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) runs a children's bookstore on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the one her late mother opened. Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is the heir to Fox Books, a chain superstore that opens around the corner and starts running her out of business. In person, the two of them can't stand each other. What neither knows is that they've already fallen for each other anonymously, as email pen pals who met in a chat room and have no idea they're trading messages with their real-life rival.

Why you should watch it: "You've Got Mail" is a remake of the 1940 Ernst Lubitsch film "The Shop Around the Corner," which is why Kathleen's store shares that name; Nora Ephron simply swapped the original's anonymous love letters for AOL email. That makes it a near-perfect time capsule of the late-'90s internet, and if you long for those simpler days, you'll fall in love with this gentle rom-com.
