Paramount Plus today (August 1, 2025) has added 57 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

American Hustle (2013)
David O. Russell’s brilliant 2013 comedy-drama (pictured above) based on the real-life FBI Abscam sting operation in the 1970s. Christian Bale and Amy Adams star as two con artists who are forced by an FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) to help the agency set up corrupt politicians, including the mayor of Camden, New Jersey, played by Jeremy Renner. The film is a dazzling display of human folly and Russell has never been better. The great cast also includes Jennifer Lawrence, Jack Huston and Robert DeNiro.

The Town (2010)
The absorbing 2010 heist drama starring Ben Affleck (who also directed and co-wrote) as a bank robber who courts a beautiful witness (Rebecca Hall) while protecting her from a fellow gang member. Affleck shines here as both star and director, the latter status for which he deserves far greater recognition.

Primal Fear (1996
Richard Gere stars as a media-hungry attorney who takes the case of a mentally ill young man (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a priest. However, Gere ultimately regrets his decision when his investigation of the murder uncovers some nasty secrets about his client and the priest. This legal drama put Edward Norton on the map and he has never been better as the stuttering murder suspect. Gere, who seems like he was born to play slick professionals, is equally good as is the strong supporting cast which includes Laura Linney, Andre Braugher, Maura Tierney and John Mahoney.
