With the month drawing to a close, we take a look at 10 of the best films, from crime dramas to classic comedies, that the streaming service added to our viewing lists this March.
Django Unchained (2012)
Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is a brutal yet visually stunning Western that tells the story of Django (Jamie Foxx), a freed slave who teams up with a bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), to rescue his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), from the clutches of the sadistic plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Released in 2012, the film was a critical success, winning two Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Christoph Waltz, and earning a nomination for Best Picture.
The Fugitive (1993)
A staple of 90s cinema, The Fugitive is a tense, action-packed thriller starring Harrison Ford as Dr Richard Kimble, a man wrongfully convicted of his wife’s murder. After narrowly escaping a prison transport accident, Kimble embarks on a quest to find his wife’s real killer, all while being relentlessly pursued by US Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones). The Fugitive was both a commercial and critical success, grossing over $368 million worldwide – and earned Tommy Lee Jones an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The Internship (2013)
For anyone looking for a feel-good comedy, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two middle-aged salesmen – who, after losing their jobs, secure internships at Google – in The Internship. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, is a lighthearted comedy that explores themes of friendship, adapting to the digital age, and navigating generational differences. The two characters, who are used to the old-school methods of salesmanship, must adapt to the high-tech world of Google, where everything is fast-paced and data-driven.
Scarface (1983)
Brian De Palma’s Scarface is one of the most iconic gangster films of all time. Starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who rises to power in the Miami drug trade, the film explores the price of ambition and the corruption that comes with success. Despite being initially met with mixed reviews due to its violence and controversial themes, it has since been re-evaluated as a cinematic masterpiece.
Us (2019)
Jordan Peele’s Us is a haunting and thought-provoking horror film that explores the terrifying concept of doppelgängers. The story follows the Wilson family as they encounter their disturbing lookalikes, who arrive with sinister intentions. Starring Lupita Nyong’o in a dual role, the film delves into themes of identity, privilege, and societal divisions. Us was released to widespread critical acclaim, particularly for its intricate storytelling, suspenseful atmosphere, and Nyong’o’s standout performance.
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice stars Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet, a witty and independent young woman navigating the rigid class structure of early 19th-century England. The film, which also stars Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy, is a fresh take on the beloved classic. The film was a critical and commercial success, earning several award nominations, including an Academy Award for Best Actress for Knightley.

48 Hrs. (1982)
48 Hrs. is a landmark film in the buddy cop genre, pairing Nick Nolte as a tough, no-nonsense cop with Eddie Murphy as a wise-cracking convict temporarily released from prison to help solve a case. Directed by Walter Hill, the film was one of Murphy’s first major roles, and it helped solidify his career in Hollywood. 48 Hrs. was a commercial success and received positive reviews, particularly for its unique blend of action, comedy, and gritty realism.
The Big Short (2015)
Based on the nonfiction book by Michael Lewis, The Big Short is a satirical drama that examines the causes of the 2008 financial crisis. Directed by Adam McKay, the film stars a bright ensemble cast, including Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt—all part of a group of outsiders who predicted the collapse of the housing market and profited from it. It went on to win the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Se7en (1995)
David Fincher’s Se7en is a dark and gripping crime thriller about two detectives, Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt), investigating a series of grisly murders inspired by the seven deadly sins. The film is famous for its bleak atmosphere, intense performances, and shocking twist ending – making it known as one of the greatest thrillers ever made.
Twister: Caught in the Storm (2025)
The first new release of this list, Twister: Caught in the Storm is a 2025 documentary that showcases the aftermath of the deadly tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri, in May 2011. Through firsthand accounts and archival footage, the film captures the devastating impact of the storm and the resilience of the community in rebuilding their lives.
