What’s coming to and leaving Netflix in March

March 1, 2019

The end of the month is a special time for those of us that subscribe to any of the streaming services. The new influx of films and TV shows is a breath of fresh air.

For Netflix, March is not all that packed with new arrivals. There is also hardly anything leaving the service during the month.

Even with a smaller influx of new content, a lot of what will appear on the service in March is notable.

Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971) will come to the service on the first of the month. While not a film I love, it has certainly been a mainstay in the canon of cinema as a medium.

It is a controversial movie that needs to be watched to even get or argue against the hype, though it is not a film for everyone. It deals with difficult topics in a very blasé manner. Rape and violence are prominent in the movie. It is not a film for the easily offended or upset.

Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) comes to Netflix on the first of the month as well.

An excellent martial arts film, the film won four Oscars in 2000, including best cinematography and best foreign language film. Even if one is not a fan of subtitled films, this film is worth a watch.

The Hurt Locker (2008) by Kathryn Bigelow is another excellent film coming to Netflix. Winner of best picture in 2010, the film is a master class in how to build tension.

Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine (2013) is another film that is worth a watch, no matter how one feels about the director’s other works.

It is hard to believe he directed the film, as it is so different from a lot of his work in the 2000s. Next to Midnight in Paris (2011), it is the best of his modern films.

Doubt (2008) by John Patrick Shanley is the most relevant of the films coming this month. It follows a nun getting to the bottom of abuse allegations brought against the priest of her church.

The film, besides its relevance, is a must watch for its stellar performances. It is one of the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s best performances. It also features knockout performances by Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Viola Davis.

There are also a few noteworthy films leaving the service in March.

Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989) are both departing from Netflix. The first movie is an all-time classic and showcases the excellent writing of the late Harold Ramis and the very much alive Dan Aykroyd.

The movie is filled with great jokes and fantastic action. It is a fun ride from start to finish and holds up amazingly well. The second film is nowhere near as good, but it is still a great watch.

While I am not a fan of this film by any means, John Hughes’ The Breakfast Club (1985) is leaving as well.

I see it as a very clichéd and forced film; I am by far in the minority. It is a film that is close to many people’s hearts. If it is a favorite of yours, dear reader, give it a watch before it leaves.
