The TV Answer Man – Follow me on X.

Paramount Plus this month (March 2025) plans to add 86 new movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the seven best, in my humble opinion.

Babylon (2022) – Dazzling Display Of Cinema
Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt star in this sensational epic drama on the silent film industry in the 1920s and the difficulties that some actors faced making the transition to sound. Directed with great panache by Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land), Babylon’s greater thesis is that Hollywood, in any era, can be a cruel mistress, quick to seduce but impossible to love. Through the eyes of Robbie and Pitt, the film explores how industry execs and their minions manufacture and manipulate their stars only to cut them loose when their appeal begins to wane. For Chazelle, still a relatively young director at 40 (then 37), it was a bold statement and perhaps one that has set back his career; he hasn’t made a film since. And that is a terrible shame. Babylon is a dazzling 189 minutes (feels like 89 minutes, it moves so fast) overflowing with memorable images and incredible acting, particularly from Robbie and Pitt who put vanity on the shelf for this one. It’s a beautiful film and one I cannot recommend more highly. Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 8. (Now available.)

Pulp Fiction (1994) – Tarantino’s Masterpiece
Director Quentin Tarantino’s non-linear masterpiece weaves interconnected stories of crime, wit, and dark humor as only he could. And what a cast! Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken…it just goes on and on. Pulp Fiction, which has often been copied, even to some degree by Tarantino himself, should be in anyone’s list of the top 10 best movies ever. And if you disagree, allow me to retort! Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 1. (Now available.)

The Hurt Locker (2008) – Intense War Drama
The brilliant 2008 Iraqi war drama stars Jeremy Renner as a munitions specialist who’s ready to blow. There have been many films that strive to show the horrors of war after the soldier comes home but few have done it better than The Hurt Locker. Renner’s character becomes addicted to war’s adrenaline rush and is never able to live normally again. It’s a great performance. Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 1. (Now available.)

There Will Be Blood (2007) – Daniel Day-Lewis Acting Master Class
Daniel Day-Lewis puts on an actor’s master class as Daniel Plainview, a 19th Century oilman who will stop at nothing to achieve wealth and power. The film, directed with perfection by Paul Thomas Anderson, is a snapshot of our nation as it begins its transition from a frontier land to a highly developed capitalist empire. And what a snapshot it is. PTA’s use of the camera is characteristically magnificent with some of the most beautiful and gripping shots you’ll ever see. Great acting. Great direction. Great movie.Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 1. (Now available.)

Face/Off (1997) – Action With a Twist
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. Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 1. (Now available.)

Serpico (1973) – Prime Pacino
The drama is based on the real-life New York police officer Frank Serpico who exposed widespread corruption on the force. Al Pacino is at his messianic best as Serpico in this iconic film directed by Sidney Lumet. But the supporting cast is overflowing with some great New York-based actors including John Randolph, Judd Hirsch, Tony Roberts and F. Murray Abraham. Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 1. (Now available.)

American Psycho (2000) – Slick Satire
The 2000 satirical horror film about a Wall Street broker (Christian Bale) who moonlights as a serial killer is not for all tastes. But if you get the joke, you’ll love this send-up of the young cold mercenaries who sometimes inhabit Manhattan’s financial district. Bale is flawless in the lead and the outstanding supporting cast includes Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe. Debuts on Paramount Plus on March 26.
