Best on Paramount Plus•Best Movies & Shows on Paramount+ — February 2026
Paramount+ is the streamer that always surprises people. Avatar: The Last Airbender at 9.3 and The Godfather at 9.2 is one of the most chaotic top-two combos in streaming — a kids' cartoon and the definitive mob movie, side by side. The Twilight Zone (9.0) adds vintage prestige, while Dexter: Resurrection at 9.0 is proof that this franchise refuses to stay dead (pun intended).
The real gems here are the comedy picks: Nathan for You (8.9), Chappelle's Show (8.8), and Freaks and Geeks (8.8) make this lowkey the best platform for laughing. And having both Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump in your top ten? That's the Paramount film vault flexing. This streamer doesn't get enough credit — it's got range, personality, and somehow Dexter is still alive.
