The summer months can always make it harder to choose what to watch. There\u2019s no holiday like Halloween or Christmas that make you want to watch something under a particular theme. But don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s still plenty to watch.<\/p>\n

As always, the streamers each got a new batch of movies and TV at the start of the month, and Paramount+ got some pretty good ones. So, we\u2019ve picked out some of the better ones on the list to help you narrow down your choice, ranging from dark comedy to a western and more.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 of the best new movies on Paramount+ in June.<\/p>\n

Death Becomes Her<\/p>\n

An argument can certainly be made that \u201cDeath Becomes Her\u201d is more of a Halloween time film, but I would argue that there\u2019s never a bad time to watch it. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep are simply too good together.<\/p>\n

The actresses star as longtime frenemies, who also happen to be actresses. Madeline (Streep) steals Helen\u2019s (Hawn) fianc\u00e9 Ernest (Bruce Willis), leading to a complete breakdown for Helen, and a vow to get revenge. Years later, they meet again, with Helen looking younger than ever. As it turns out, she took a magic elixir that gives her eternal youth \u2014 and Madeline quickly gets her hands on it too.<\/p>\n

As with any potion like this, there are side effects, and what follows is a film full of both comedy and body horror (but in a palatable way, promise). It\u2019s really just delightful, and lets Streep and Hawn go full tilt, which they are oh so good at.<\/p>\n

True Grit<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something grittier this month \u2014 pun only a little intended \u2014 go for \u201cTrue Grit.\u201d It features a baby Hailee Steinfeld (the performance made her one of the youngest Oscar nominees ever, and it\u2019s her film debut!), a grown Jeff Bridges, and the Coen brothers before they went onto solo projects.<\/p>\n

The movie centers on 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Steinfeld), who seeks out Rooster Cogburn\u00a0(Bridges) to go after the outlaw who murdered her father. She\u2019s a determined and precocious girl, hellbent on seeing her father\u2019s killer brought to justice (read: hung) and will not take no for an answer.<\/p>\n

The movie has become a favorite of many over the years, and it\u2019s easy to see why, considering the multiple stellar performances it brings out. It\u2019s not precisely a feel-good film, but it is definitely a good film.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Italian Job\u201d (Paramount Pictures)<\/p>\n

The Italian Job<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you just need to kick back with an early 2000s remake of a 1960s film, starring a young Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham and more. And that\u2019s just three people out of a stacked cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Italian Job\u201d features an insanely stacked cast, for a somewhat insanely convoluted heist movie. It\u2019s not convoluted in the sense of being hard to follow \u2014 in fact, this is one where you can mostly just turn your brain off and enjoy \u2014 but more so in the sense of being meticulously planned. So maybe convoluted is the wrong word, but you get it.<\/p>\n

Together, Wahlberg, Theron, Statham and their team go up against Edward Norton, after he betrays them on a job in Italy (you get the title now, yes?) and steals millions of dollars in gold bricks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a true ensemble film, and always a fun watch.<\/p>\n

\"\"Shia LaBeouf in \u201cEagle Eye\u201d<\/p>\n

Eagle Eye<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun seeing what we thought surveillance would like in 2008, and how close to correct \u201cEagle Eye\u201d ended up being.<\/p>\n

It stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan as two ordinary people who are forced to go on the run, after they both receive a call from an unknown woman who forces them to complete various tasks or risk harm to themselves and their loved ones. <\/p>\n

The thing is, it\u2019s not actually a woman. It\u2019s an AI program, and it\u2019s tracking their every move. After the program\u2019s recommendation on a military operation went ignored and led to casualties, it decided that the current executive branch needed to be wiped out. <\/p>\n

\u201cEagle Eye\u201d isn\u2019t a perfect movie, but it\u2019s a pretty decent thriller that might feel even more possible today, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

\""21\u201c21 Jump Street\u201d (Credit: Sony Pictures Releasing)<\/p>\n

21 Jump Street<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Jump Street. And about to jump in yo ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technically, that line is from \u201c22 Jump Street,\u201d which also conveniently hit Paramount+ this month, but it\u2019s just funny every time. So consider this an interchangeable recommendation \u2014 we\u2019re going to list \u201c21 Jump Street\u201d first though, since you need it to watch the second one.<\/p>\n

Starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, \u201c21 Jump Street\u201d was also a remake, and a pretty great one at that. The actors star as two bumbling cops, who get to go undercover at a local high school to bust a new drug ring. Obviously, they don\u2019t look like high schoolers, and they\u2019re called on it immediately.<\/p>\n

The duo is comedy gold, and you\u2019ll probably find you forgot that a lot of famous faces are in this movie. Plus, with a \u201c24 Jump Street\u201d in the works<\/a>, you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re fresh on this franchise.<\/p>\n

\""Uncle\u201cUncle Buck\u201d (Credit: Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

Uncle Buck<\/p>\n

\u201cUncle Buck\u201d remains one of John Candy\u2019s best performances, and one that he is beloved for. <\/p>\n

In fact, as recently as a few months ago, his co-star Macaulay Culkin recalled his great experiences<\/a> working with the man for Colin Hanks\u2019 new documentary, \u201cJohn Candy: I Like Me.\u201d According to Culkin, Candy always had a \u201cpaternal\u201d presence on set and made sure to look out for him, which made the job one of his favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In \u201cUncle Buck,\u201d Candy plays a Chicago bachelor who\u2019s forced to watch his brother\u2019s three kids when a family emergency cropped up. He quickly bonds with them, and the relationships are all incredibly sweet. It\u2019s just a feel-good comedy.<\/p>\n

\""Jimmy\u201cJimmy Neutron: Boy Genius\u201d (Paramount Pictures)<\/p>\n

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got a super-powered mind and a mechanical canine. What more could you need?<\/p>\n

I have to toss this one in simply for nostalgia value. Classic Nickelodeon shows and movies remain beloved, but Jimmy Neutron arguably flies under the radar and shouldn\u2019t. It\u2019s fun and chaotic, and deserves a rewatch. There\u2019s not much more to say on this one.<\/p>\n

Gotta blast!<\/p>\n
