Paramount+ continues rotating its catalog with mostly hits from the 1990s and 2000s, resulting in few new titles each month. May includes notable films that many viewers may not have seen in years. A 2001 Muhammad Ali biopic directed by Michael Mann stars Will Smith in a standout performance as the boxer and civil-rights icon, presented in the original theatrical edition. Jon Favreau’s family comedy follows Buddy the Elf, a human raised by Santa’s elves who travels to New York City to find his biological father. Harriet the Spy, starring Michelle Trachtenberg, is based on the beloved books and was the first Nickelodeon Movies production. The Hunt for Red October adapts Tom Clancy’s 1984 novel, introducing Jack Ryan with Alec Baldwin and featuring Sean Connery as a Soviet naval captain.

"It doesn't have to be the holiday season to enjoy the wonderful story of Buddy the Elf. Before Iron Man, Jon Favreau directed this glorious fable about a human raised by Santa's elves and the trouble he gets into on a trip to New York City to find his biological father. Throw yourself a Christmas-in-early-summer celebration. ➽ Streaming now."
"This adaptation of the 1984 novel of the same name introduced the film world to Jack Ryan, played here by Alec Baldwin (and currently by John Krasinski on the Prime Video series). Still the best Ryan movie, The Hunt for Red October sees the character match wits with a Soviet naval captain played by Sean Connery, who wan"
