  "account": "Looking for fresh films to stream this weekend? Paramount+ has got you covered with a trio of standout movies perfect for a movie marathon. From war dramas to spine-chilling horror, there's something for every taste. Here are three Paramount+ movies you need to add to your watchlist this weekend.\n\nFirst up, Apocalypse Now Redux (2001), the extended version of Francis Ford Coppola's iconic Vietnam War epic. This 49-minute addition brings the already monumental film to life with restored footage, including the controversial French plantation sequence. Follow Army Captain Benjamin Willard as he embarks on a harrowing mission into the Cambodian jungle to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a rogue officer who's become a god among a local tribe. This uncomfortable watch feels like a fever dream, making it a must-watch for war film aficionados.\n\nNext, It Follows (2014), a masterful horror film that has earned a near-perfect 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. College student Jay, played by Maika Monroe, becomes the unwilling host of a supernatural entity after a fateful date. This relentless presence takes the form of strangers or familiar faces, forcing Jay and her friends to outmaneuver it in a desperate bid for survival. With a sequel on the horizon, now's the perfect time to dive into this chilling tale of survival and horror.\n\nFinally, Crimes of the Future (2022), a provocative sci-fi horror film from the visionary David Cronenberg. Set in a near-future world where humans are evolving in disturbing ways, this film follows celebrity performance artist Saul Tenser, portrayed by Viggo Mortensen. Saul and his partner, Caprice, played by Léa Seydoux, turn the surgical removal of his new organs into a live art performance. Their work draws unwanted attention from a nervous government bureaucrat portrayed by Kristen Stewart and a shadowy underground movement. With its unsettling exploration of the human body and evolution, Crimes of the Future is a must-watch for fans of Cronenberg's provocative body horror.",
