Paramount+ is reaching way back into the archives this July, with several iconic classics joining the platform.

Let’s check out some of the best movies coming to Paramount+ in July.
Death Wish (July 1)
Based on the 1972 same-named novel, this film stars Charles Bronson as a man whose family suffers a home invasion. When his wife dies in the attack, Branson’s Paul Kersey becomes a justice-seeking vigilante.
Despite receiving mixed reviews at the time of release,Death Wishspawned four sequelsand a 2018 Bruce Willis-led reboot. The controversy stemmed from the film’s support for vigilanteism and Bronson’s judge-jury-and-executioner style of punishing criminals. Controversy or not, the film has remained popular in the 50 years since its release and is regarded as one of Bronson’s most iconic roles.
G.I. Jane (July 1)
Shh, quiet. No one tell Will Smith about this one. G.I. Jane tells a fictional story of the first woman who partook in the special ops training used by the US Navy SEALs.
These days, the movie is more remembered for the Oscars incident than anything it achieved on its own. It was a box office bomb, and lead Demi Moore won the Razzie for Worst Actress. Not even director Ridley Scott or supporting cast members Viggo Mortensen, Anne Bancroft, and Jason Beghe could save it, which is likely why Chris Rock’s proposed sequel has not gone forward.
Interview with the Vampire (July 1)
Anne Rice’s novel first made the jump to the big screen with this 1994 film. The story chronicles human Louis de Pointe du Lac, who was attacked by vampire Lestat de Lioncourt in the 1790s. Louis is transformed into a vampire, and he and Lestat later turn the 10-year-old Claudia into one as well.

This Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt-led feature may be on people’s minds today due to AMC’snew television adaptation. Starring Jacob Anderson as Louis and Sam Reid as Lestat, the show chronicles their lives now living in 1910s New Orleans.
Jack Reacher (July 1)
Another of Tom Cruise’snumerous action rolesis next up on our list.Jack Reacheris based on author Lee Child’s 2005 novelOne Shot.Cruise’s performance and positive critical reviews pushed the film to be a mild box office success at $218 million, though that’s still a long way from hisTop Gun: Maverickpeak.
Rosamund Pike, Werner Herzog, and Robert Duvall, among others, rounded out the supporting cast. A sequel,Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, was released in 2016 to less favorable reviews.
The Godfather Trilogy - Remastered (July 1)
In 2022, the originalGodfatherwas rereleased in 4Kto mark its 50th anniversary. The much-malignedPart IIIwas previously given the 4K rerelease in 2020 to mark its own 30th anniversary.Part IIIwas also given the new name ofThe Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, though it’s unclear if that will endear the trilogy’s final installment to its longstanding detractors.

The Godfatheris regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, withPart IIeven surpassing it per some critics. Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro, and Diane Keaton all became household names off the back of this landmark series in film history.
Saturday Night Fever (July 1)
Ah, ah, ah, ah. Stayin' alive! Can anyone find a more iconic opening scene? John Travolta’s Tony Manero deals with work and family life during the day while spending his nights and weekends living it up on the dance floor.
The movie propelled the then-23-year-old Travolta to become a household name and entertainment icon. Regarded as one of 1977’s best films, the soundtrack was the best-selling album of all time at its release. It held the title until it was dethroned byThrillerin 1983.
Fans of Travolta should not miss this chance to check out possibly his most iconic role. But if you want to skip the 1983 sequelStayin' Alive, which boasts a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, we won’t tell.
Zoey 102 (July 27)
The end of the month brings us Paramount’s only original movie release for July. Picking up 15 years after the conclusion ofZoey 101,this sequel centerson our favorite PCA grads as they reunite for the wedding of Logan and Quinn.
