3 new to Paramount+ movies to watch this weekend — including Sylvester Stallone's iconic '80s action-thriller that introduced Rambo (Nov. 6–8)

For Paramount+ subscribers seeking new movies to watch this weekend, the streaming service has added 123 films to its library on November 1. Among the selections, three stand out: a holiday classic, an iconic 80s action film, and a lesser-known WWII drama.

First, "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) is a timeless masterpiece that is practically a must-watch during the holiday season. This charming and warm film, directed by Frank Capra, follows George Bailey, a selfless man who considers suicide on Christmas Eve until he is visited by his guardian angel, Clarence. Together, they show George what the world would be like if he had never been born. The film stars James Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore.

Next, Sylvester Stallone's 1982 action-thriller "First Blood" offers a different kind of adrenaline rush. In this prequel to the Rambo franchise, Stallone plays John Rambo, a traumatized Vietnam War veteran. The film follows Rambo's struggle against an arrogant sheriff and his attempts to evade capture. Unlike the subsequent sequels, "First Blood" focuses on Rambo as a complex character rather than a ruthless killing machine. The action is tense and gripping, making it a standout choice among the 1980s action films.

Finally, the overlooked WWII drama "Allied" (2016) provides a unique and engaging viewing experience. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, this romantic drama takes place during World War II. The story follows operative Max Vatan, played by Pitt, who is paired with a French Resistance fighter for a mission.

As they pose as a married couple, their relationship develops beyond the initial plan. The film explores themes of love, deception, and loyalty, ultimately revealing that the characters' relationship may have been more than just a ruse. Despite its lukewarm reception upon release, "Allied" is worth a second chance, especially for those seeking a refreshing wartime romance.
