By The TV Answer Man team

Paramount+ yesterday added 130 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the eight best, in our humble opinion:

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is a cinematic masterpiece that seamlessly blends action, adventure, and archaeology into a thrilling tale. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford as the iconic Indiana Jones, the film takes audiences on a breathtaking journey across the globe in search of the elusive Ark of the Covenant. With its impeccable storytelling, charismatic performances, and impressive practical effects, the movie captivates viewers from start to finish. Ford’s portrayal of the rugged yet charming archaeologist, coupled with Spielberg’s expert direction and John Williams’ memorable score, creates an unforgettable cinematic experience. (Paramount+ has also just added three other Indiana Jones films. See the list below.)
Minority Report (2002)
In Steven Spielberg’s futuristic thriller, Tom Cruise portrays a police officer in a world where crimes are predicted before they happen. His portrayal of John Anderton showcased his versatility as he navigated the complexities of the storyline, delivering a nuanced and captivating performance.
Saving Private Ryan (1998) 
Directed by Spielberg, this World War II masterpiece immerses viewers in the visceral horrors of the D-Day invasion. With stunning cinematography, a captivating narrative, and Tom Hanks’ brilliant performance, Saving Private Ryan stands as a testament to the sacrifices made by soldiers.
The Conversation (1973)
The Conversation, starring Gene Hackman, is a masterfully crafted thriller that delves deep into the intricate world of surveillance and paranoia. Hackman delivers an outstanding performance as Harry Caul, a meticulous surveillance expert who becomes increasingly obsessed with a conversation he’s recorded. Director Francis Ford Coppola skillfully navigates the psychological terrain, creating an atmosphere of tension and unease.

Face/Off (1997)
The action-drama from director John Woo stars John Travolta and Nic Cage as an FBI agent and master criminal (respectively) who switch faces and identities while engaging in a cat-and-mouse chase. Only Woo, Travolta and Cage could pull this off but it’s a rockin’ 133 minutes of action, over-the-top acting, and humor.
American Graffiti (1972)
American Graffiti, directed by George Lucas, is a nostalgic masterpiece that brilliantly captures the essence of teenage life in the early 1960s. Set against the backdrop of a small American town on the cusp of change, the film takes its audience on a memorable ride through one summer night, following a group of high school graduates as they navigate the challenges of growing up and the uncertainty of the future. The movie’s impeccable soundtrack, featuring iconic songs from the era, adds depth and emotion to the characters’ experiences, creating a powerful sense of time and place.
Croupier (1998)
Croupier, a 1998 dramatic film starring Clive Owen (The Knick) as a struggling writer who takes a job in a casino to make ends meet. But his life is dealt an unexpected hand when he falls for a beautiful and larcenous woman. Masterful early Owen performance makes you wonder why this guy didn’t become a bigger star.
Fatal Attraction (1987)
The 1987 drama from director Adrian Lyne that did more to curb adultery than any 1,000 sermons. Michael Douglas plays an attorney whose life is turned upside down when he has an affair with a disturbed book editor (Glenn Close) who’s never met a rabbit she liked. The film is a taut and juicy depiction of what people will do when emotions are stretched and temptation is dangled.
