Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Paramount Plus | September 7-13, 2025

What does it mean to be a fan… or a stan?

This new doc digs into Eminem’s decades-long relationship with his most passionate (and sometimes unhinged) fans. Directed by Steven Leckart and produced by Em himself alongside longtime manager Paul Rosenberg, it mixes rare archival footage, reenactments, and candid interviews. The result is raw, funny, and a little unsettling—exactly what you’d expect from the man who coined the term.

2. Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

The need for speed never dies.

Tom Cruise returns as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, pulled back to train a new generation of TOPGUN pilots—including Goose’s son, played by Miles Teller—for a near-suicidal mission. Joseph Kosinski directs with breakneck energy, Jerry Bruckheimer produces, and Lady Gaga drops an Oscar-nominated power ballad. With a $1.4 billion box office run and an Academy Award win for Best Sound, this sequel isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a miracle blockbuster.

3. Blade (1998)

The original R-rated Marvel icon.

Wesley Snipes slashes through bloodsuckers and club kids as Blade, the half-vampire, all-attitude Daywalker. With killer choreography, an iconic techno intro scene, and Kris Kristofferson grumbling in the background, this is late-’90s superhero grit at its finest. Before the MCU and multiverses, there was this—sharp, fast, and soaked in blood and leather.

4. Blade II (2002)

Guillermo del Toro turns up the weird.

In the sequel, Blade joins a vampire kill-squad to take down Reapers—mutant bloodsuckers that feed on other vampires. Del Toro brings his signature creature design, Ron Perlman shows up for chaos, and Luke Goss delivers one of the most graceful fight scenes in vampire movie history. It’s violent, comic-booky, and just beautifully gross.

5. South Park: The End of Obesity (2024)

Big Pharma meets Big Cartman.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone aim their satire at the craze for new weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. When Cartman can’t get his hands on them, chaos erupts in South Park. The special skewers healthcare, social media, and everyone in between. Like the other Paramount+ event films (Post COVID, Panderverse), it’s sharp, stupid, and very, very South Park.

6. Winter Spring Summer or Fall (2024)

Four days. Four seasons. One very Gen Z love story.

Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White play two teens who meet in winter and reconnect throughout a single year, one day per season. It’s quiet, tender, and built around long walks and soft conversations—not grand gestures. If Before Sunrise wore a hoodie and listened to Phoebe Bridgers, it’d look like this.

7. The Friend (2025)

A woman, a dog, and a whole lot of grief.

Naomi Watts stars in this tender adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s National Book Award winner. When a solitary writer inherits her late friend’s massive Great Dane, she’s forced to confront her loneliness and stalled creativity. With Bill Murray, Constance Wu, and Ann Dowd rounding out the cast, directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel turn what could’ve been a quiet drama into something surprisingly warm and funny.

8. Scary Movie (2000)

A parody so unhinged it changed the genre.

Anna Faris and the Wayans brothers take a chainsaw to late-’90s horror with a barrage of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Matrix, and American Pie jokes. There’s blood, there’s slapstick, and there’s Carmen Electra getting chased in heels. It’s dated. It’s dumb. It’s still hilarious.

9. Novocaine (2025)

Can’t feel pain. Can still cause plenty.

Jack Quaid leads this darkly comic action ride as a guy with a rare condition—he literally can’t feel pain—who must use it to his advantage when the girl he’s crushing on is kidnapped. Co-directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, with Amber Midthunder and Ray Nicholson in the mix, it plays like Nobody meets Crank: violent, goofy, and just self-aware enough to be fun.

10. Extract (2009)

Mike Judge does for factories what he did for cubicles.

Jason Bateman stars as the frustrated owner of a flavor-extract plant juggling a checked-out wife (Kristen Wiig), a scammer secretary (Mila Kunis), and terrible legal advice (Ben Affleck, in slacker mode). With J.K. Simmons stealing scenes, Judge’s comedy is dry, messy, and sneakily sharp. If Office Space nailed the cubicle grind, this one skewers small-business burnout.

And That’s a Wrap

From Eminem’s fandom dissected in Stans to Tom Cruise defying gravity in Top Gun: Maverick, Paramount Plus is all over the map this week—in the best way. Want laughs? Extract and Scary Movie deliver. Craving action? Blade and Novocaine bring the heat. Need something ridiculous? South Park has you covered (again).

Bottom line: Paramount this week makes for a playlist that’ll keep you streaming, snacking, and maybe quoting Regina George under your breath.
