10 Recommended Movies Coming Out on Netflix in March

March has arrived! For much of the country, this means the weather is going to become a bit more bearable than it was the previous three months, but still too cold to do anything. Plus, we aren’t completely in the clear when it comes to Covid. This provides you with the perfect opportunity to check out some of the best movies being released on Netflix this month, including a pair of originals and some Academy Award-winning classics!

1. Dances With Wolves (1990)

Set in the time of the Civil War, a lieutenant has been tasked with setting up a post in the remote frontier where Lakota Sioux roam. Winner of 7 Oscars (and 5 additional nominations), this one clocks in at more than 3 hours if you’re watching the theater cut, and 4 hours if the longer version strikes your fancy. It beat out Goodfellas for Best Picture. Was it well-deserved? Why not find out for yourself?

2. Batman Begins (2005)

The Batman franchise got so ridiculous in the 90s that they took a nearly decade-long break before giving it a reboot. The Christopher Nolan era — starring Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader — brought a return to darker storytelling and vivid cinematography that had made Tim Burton’s 1989 version a hit.

3. The Dark Knight (2008)

The sequel to Batman Begins brought us an unforgettable performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker, who posthumously received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. This one is regarded as the greatest superhero movie of all-time, which unfortunately means, of course, every movie that followed had to include philosophical elements and existential crises.

4. Yes Day (2021)

This one is a Netflix original movie! Based upon the children’s book of the same time, Allison (Jennifer Garner) and Carlos (Edgar Ramirez) feel guilty about always saying “no” to their three children, so for the next 24 hours they let the kiddies set the rules. Does that mean watching cartoons all day and then having Lucky Charms for dinner? Hopefully not!
