If watching classic movies is how you attain the most value from your streaming services, then Paramount+ is hard to beat. The first day of the month is when most movies are added, and on May 1st alone, the streamer welcomed a whopping 92 movies to its library. Compare that to the 59 additions on Prime Video and 69 new movies on Peacock.
I salute anyone who has the time to watch even a fraction of the new additions on Paramount+ this month, but for subscribers who want a few suggestions to add to their watch lists, here are the five movies we think you should stream in May.
Atlantic City
One of the few movies with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Atlantic City is a crime romance movie from 1980 starring Burt Lancaster as aging former gangster Lou and Susan Sarandon as young Canadian waitress Sally Matthews. It was nominated for all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.
The Edge of Seventeen
If you’re curious to see where Hailee Steinfeld’s career started after seeing Sinners, you need to go back and watch The Edge of Seventeen. This coming-of-age film stars Steinfeld as 17-year-old Nadine Franklin as she navigates high school and family life.
Minari
Before being tapped to direct the explosive Hollywood blockbuster Twisters, Lee Isaac Chung wrote and directed the much quieter family drama Minari. The film tells the semi-autobiographical tale of a South Korean family moving to rural Arkansas in the 1980s.
Nebraska
When you think of Will Forte, wild comedies like MacGruber and The Last Man on Earth probably come to mind, but the SNL alum also starred in a beautiful, poignant dramedy from director Alexander Payne in 2013. Nebraska stars Forte stars alongside Bruce Dern as a father and son on a road trip to claim a million-dollar sweepstakes prize.
Southside with You
A romantic drama about Harvard Law School student Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson, the young lawyer he met and fell in love with. A fascinating look at the life of a modern US president before taking the Oath of Office and running the country.
