I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, despite being one of thebest streaming servicesavailable,Paramount Plusis one of the most overlooked. Its free streaming service Pluto TV is even more unknown, despite playing host to an extensive range of highly-rated movies.

If you’ve not yet explored Pluto TV’s catalog of free movies and shows, take this as a nudge from me. Not sure where you should start with its catalog of content? There are five films in particular with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes that have been added in September that I think you shouldn’t miss.

Just like its free service, there are even more titlesnew on Paramount Plus in September 2024, which we’ve combined into one list – but that can wait until later, as the movies listed below are the ones that have caught my eagle eye.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

RT Score:93%Age rating:PGLength:115 minutesDirector:Steven Spielberg

A favorite among mums and dads who lived their childhood in the early ’80s,Indiana Jonesis an all-round classic and one of the biggest movie franchises ever. When he wasn’t gracing the cinema screen as Han Solo inStar Wars, Harrison Ford stepped into the iconic role of Indiana Jones, a fictional American archaeologist who’s hired by the US government during the years leading up to World War II. On his mission, he must locate the Ark of the Covenant, which is thought to contain the Ten Commandments. But Nazis are also set to embark on the same mission, so it’s up to Indiana Jones to be the first to find it to put a stop to the Nazi party’s thirst for power. After you’ve watched this classic, check out our take onevery Indiana Jones movie rankedto find out what to watch next.

The School of Rock (2003)

RT Score:92%Age rating:PG-13Length:108 minutesDirector:Richard Linklater

The School of Rockis one of those movies that defined my childhood, and I could probably quote it from front to back if you gave me the chance. When low-life guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is kicked out of his rock band and becomes unemployed, he finds himself in desperate need of work. When his school teacher and room mate gets a temporary role offer, Finn poses as him and starts a job at a private elementary school. Upon discovering that the whole of his class are classically-trained musicians, he introduces them to the world of rock music and enters the kids into the local Battle of the Bands contest. Not only was the lead role built for Jack Black, but the movie is like an encyclopaedia of rock music, making it a great way to educate yourself on iconic rock legends.
