6 Must-Watch Movies on Paramount+ Right Now (November 2025): ‘The Naked Gun’ and More

Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) walks in the shoes of his legendary father as a detective in the LAPD Police Squad. However, Drebin’s excessive methods of bringing down bad guys cause him to get reassigned. He takes on a case involving a mysterious car crash deemed a suicide, and a crime novelist (Pamela Anderson) who thinks it was murder. Drebin will need to use all his incredible skills to solve the crime.

This updated take on the classic Naked Gun films starring Leslie Nielsen sees the great Neeson slide right into the role of his predecessor, boasting comedic chops that fans of the Taken actor may not have known existed. Great chemistry with Anderson and a smart, hilarious script make The Naked Gun (2025) can’t miss. 

A young and charismatic Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Frank Abagnale, Jr., an infamous and brilliant con man who runs away from home as a teenager in the 1960s and begins a career as a master check forger. Taking on the identities of a doctor, a pilot and a lawyer, Frank spans the United States evading the capture of FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), and becoming the most successful bank robber the country has ever seen.

This fast-paced and buoyant crime biodrama from Steven Spielberg is a thrilling romp and a fascinating look at one of the most incredible criminals in United States history. Spielberg’s direction creates a breezy and wildly entertaining film with an emotional core that will take you by surprise.

The Josh Hartnett renaissance began with Oppenheimer and Trap, and it continues confidently apace with Fight or Flight. Hartnett stars as Lucas Reyes, a mercenary who has been hired to track and protect a wanted criminal while aboard an international flight. But in a deceptive twist, the plane is filled with assassins hired to kill both Lucas and the criminal he seeks, and they must team up to defeat them all.

Hartnett gives an all-time deranged performance in this film, which boasts a wildly entertaining blend of action and goofy comedy. The wacky high-concept premise is executed in a fittingly gonzo way, complete with gnarly action sequences and fully committed performances that make Fight or Flight a total hoot.

Amy Adams stars as linguistics professor Louise Banks, who is suddenly at the center of one of the most consequential moments in human history — the arrival of lifeforms from another planet. Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Dune), Arrival is a meditative science-fiction drama on love, loss, and the nature of time itself.

As nations totter on the brink of all-out global war in the wake of the Heptapods’ landing on Earth, Banks finds herself in a race against time to understand the creatures and why they are here. She teams up with the US Army led by Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker), alongside physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), to find a way to learn the language of the Heptapods and unravel the mystery of their presence.

In the late 1960s and 1970s, a man known only as the Zodiac Killer murders random people in and around San Francisco. No one knows who he is or why he does it, which is what draws cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) to the case. Slowly, he becomes obsessed with deciphering the Zodiac’s cryptic letters to his newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, and believes that’s the key to stopping the killer’s reign of terror. But will Graysmith’s all-consuming obsession ruin his marriage and life?

Zodiac flopped at the box office in 2007, but has since been recognized by Rolling Stone (and others) as one of the best movies of the 21st century. It’s hard to argue with that assumption when a picture like this is so well made by director David Fincher and well acted by a cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Chloë Sevigny. Like the real-life case, Zodiac is a thriller without a satisfying ending, which is entirely the point. Some boogeymen don’t get caught and are still out there, lurking in the shadows.

The Last Stop in Yuma County didn’t get much traction in theaters, but this is one of the best neo-Westerns in years. The story is set in the ‘70s, and the shortage of gasoline has left an unnamed knife salesman (Jim Cummings) stuck at a diner with a waitress named Charlotte (Jocelin Donahue) when a pair of armed bank robbers come strolling in.

Travis (Nicholas Logan) and Beau (Vernon Richard Brake) just want to get gas and escape from the cops, but they’re just as trapped as hostages, Charlotte and the salesman. As the situation escalates, the salesman will have to determine just how far he’s willing to go to make it out of the diner alive.

The Last Stop in Yuma County is streaming on Paramount+.
