Top 30 Movies to Watch on Paramount+ in January 2025

The Paramount+ Movie Collection: A Cinematic Journey for 2025

As we welcome 2025, Paramount+ continues to enrich its extensive movie library, offering a blend of celebrated classics and recent cinematic hits. While the platform has been in the spotlight for its exceptional television content—thanks to Taylor Sheridan’s acclaimed series like Landman, Lioness, and the monumental Yellowstone—it’s noteworthy that Paramount+ boasts an equally impressive lineup of films.

A Unique Focus on Classic Cinema

Distinct from major streaming giants like Netflix and Apple TV+, Paramount+ has not heavily invested in original films, with only a few high-profile releases such as Dear Santa in late 2024. Nevertheless, movie enthusiasts will be thrilled with upcoming features, including an exclusive Star Trek installment. The existing collection, though, showcases an array of masterpieces from revered filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino, alongside some of the year’s most discussed blockbuster films.
