The 10 Best Movies Leaving Netflix in March 2024

The Batman (2022)

In the shadowy streets of Gotham, Matt Reeves's The Batman redefines the iconic superhero’s cinematic aesthetic with a noir flair. This iteration, starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, dives deep into the ever-complicated psyche of the character, presenting him not just as a vigilante but as a world-class detective on the trail of a serial killer, The Riddler (Paul Dano). The movie stands apart with its visually striking Gotham City, setting a darker tone for the series that feels like it’s directly commenting on today’s tumultuous political climate. With a supporting cast including Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, The Batman offers a fresh, compelling take on the Caped Crusader's battle against crime.

The John Wick Series (2014-2019)

The John Wick series was the start of the Keanussaince that catapulted Keanu Reeves back into the spotlight as the now-iconic assassin drawn out of retirement by personal tragedy. Directed by Chad Stahelski, these films are celebrated for their stylized violence and intricate world-building—and, of course, Reeves's signature stoic performance. Across the trilogy, John Wick's quest for vengeance evolves into an epic tale of survival against the backdrop of a hidden world of assassins and their elaborate code of honor. The series is marked by its breathtaking choreography and innovative action sequences, with each installment (the first three are the ones available on Netflix) raising the stakes, expanding the mythology and further entrenching Wick as a legendary figure in action cinema.

Jackie Brown (1997)

Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown—easily the most underrated outing of his incredible filmography—weaves a tale of crime and passion through a rich narrative that pays homage to 1970s blaxploitation films, all while carving out its own identity with memorable characters, sharp dialogue, and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the director’s signature style. Pam Grier stars as the eponymous Jackie Brown, a middle-aged flight attendant caught in a dangerous game between the ATF and a lethal arms dealer (Samuel L. Jackson). Utilizing her wit and courage, Jackie devises a risky plan to secure her freedom and a better life. Grier’s stellar performance is supported by a stellar cast including Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton, making Jackie Brown a standout in Tarantino's oeuvre.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

Birds of Prey, directed by Cathy Yan, bursts onto the screen with a kaleidoscope of color, chaos, and—most importantly—empowerment. Margot Robbie reprises her role from Suicide Squad as Harley Quinn, delivering a tour-de-force performance that captures the character's complexity—and all the fun that comes with it. Following her split from the Joker, Harley finds herself targeted by Gotham's underworld, leading her to form an unlikely alliance with a group of strong women, including Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez). This film is a vibrant, action-packed adventure that builds a rich thematic foundation involving independence and friendship.

Carol (2015)

Todd Haynes's Carol is a visually stunning and emotionally charged exploration of forbidden love in 1950s New York. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara deliver mesmerizing performances as Carol Aird and Therese Belivet, two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel The Price of Salt, the film Carol is celebrated for its exquisite production design, which meticulously recreates the era, and its sensitive portrayal of the burgeoning romance between these two women. The film navigates sensitive subjects involving love and personal sacrifice with grace and subtlety, making it a timeless piece that resonates on a universal level.

The Conversation (1974)

Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation—which miraculously released the same year as Coppola’s The Godfather Part II—is a masterclass in suspense and paranoia, featuring a career-defining performance by Gene Hackman as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert who becomes obsessed with a conversation he's recorded. Set in the 1970s, the film captures the zeitgeist of its era, exploring themes of privacy, alienation and the ethical dilemmas faced by those who invade the lives of others. Coppola's unbelievable direction and innovative use of sound design (which would clearly go on to influence Brian De Palma in Blow Out) create an undeniable atmosphere that draws the audience into Caul's increasingly isolated and paranoid world.

Pacific Rim (2013)

Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim is a thrilling love letter to the kaiju and mecha genres that dazzles with its imaginative design. The film envisions a future where humanity is besieged by colossal creatures known as Kaiju, leading to the creation of Jaegers, giant robots piloted by humans. Starring Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi, Pacific Rim is not just an action-packed spectacle but also a story about camaraderie and the power of the human spirit. Per usual, Del Toro crafts a visually stunning world, this one filled with epic battles, while also infusing the narrative with intense emotion backed by stellar acting from the cast, making Pacific Rim a standout film that both entertains and inspires.

Dragged Across Concrete (2018)

Dragged Across Concrete, directed by S. Craig Zahler, is a gritty, no-holds-barred crime thriller that delves into the lives of two police detectives (Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn) who descend into the criminal underworld. Set against a backdrop of urban decay, Zahler's slow-burn approach allows for a deep exploration of character and motive, resulting in a film that is as much a commentary on the state of American society as it is a compelling heist drama. Be sure to note that Dragged Across Concrete is a challenging watch, marked by its unflinching violence and complex characters, offering a stark, unforgiving look at the choices people make when pushed to their limits.

This Is 40 (2012)

Judd Apatow's This Is 40 hilariously delves into both the beautiful and ugly realities of family life through the lens of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann), characters first introduced in Knocked Up. As these two aging parents confront the challenges of midlife, their story evolves into a relatable existential crisis that has us constantly questioning ourselves and the impact we have on the world. Keeping in style with his previous three films, Apatow blends comedy with plenty poignant moments, creating a story that’s both entertaining and deeply human. Rudd and Mann are the perfect duo as they capture the essence of a couple navigating the complexities of life together, making This Is 40 a comedic gem.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

Shazam! Fury of the Gods electrifies with its blend of heart and humor, with Zachary Levi returning as the charismatic Shazam, who attempts to balance the dual life of a teenage boy and a god-like hero. The sequel amps up the action and deepens the emotional stakes, introducing new gods and monsters that threaten the world. This underrated superhero film builds on the success of its predecessor by expanding the magical mythology and emphasizing the themes of family and identity. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a fun-filled adventure that captures the essence of what it means to be a hero, making it a delightful watch for audiences of all ages.
