Invest in that popcorn machine now, Netflix subscribers.

In March, the streamer will flood its digital coffers with a mix of new releases, cult classics, and time-tested bangers. *Casino*, *Desperado*, and *Matilda* are all due for rewatches, as is Netflix's *Peaky Blinders*, which is getting a cinematic sequel this month.

Other new releases include the Alan Ritchson action flick *War Machine *and a queasy dive into the manosphere from documentarian Louis Theroux.

And that's just the beginning. Below are 12 movies coming to Netflix this month that you'll want in your queue.

Casino (1995)

Sharon Stone in 'Casino'.

**Available to stream: **March 1

Five years after *Goodfellas* redefined the gangster genre, Martin Scorsese returned to the well with *Casino*, a three-hour bruiser that our critic deemed a "blood-and-glitz underworld epic."

Robert De Niro stars as Ace Rothstein, a gambling whiz who's tasked by the Chicago Mafia to take over operations at the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas in 1973. There, he falls for volatile showgirl Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) and busts heads with the thuggish Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci).

"Las Vegas casinos, at least in the ’70s, practiced a legalized version of what the Mob was already doing," reads **'s review, "and *Casino*, with its hypnotic flow of images and information, its vision of Vegas as a laboratory of domesticated sin, is a heady, engrossing experience."

**Director: **Martin Scorsese

**Cast: **Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone, James Woods, Don Rickles, Kevin Pollak, L. Q. Jones, Dick Smothers, Frank Vincent

Jon Favreau, Emjay Anthony, and Sofia Vergara in 'Chef'.

**Available to stream: **March 1

Jon Favreau went from the star and writer of the 1996 indie hit *Swingers* to one of the most bankable directors and producers in Hollywood. After kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2008's *Iron Man* and its sequels, Favreau recruited some of his famous pals for the smaller, more grounded *Chef*.

Favreau wrote, produced, and directed the cozy (and appetizing) feature, in which he stars as celebrity chef who invests in a food truck after imploding his career in fine dining.

Authenticity was key for Favreau, who tapped food truck pioneer Roy Choi to serve as a co-producer and technical advisor. “A lot of films struggle to capture the soul of who we are and the idiosyncrasies of who we are," Choi told EW in 2014. "The imperfections and our style and our swagger and the things we find important and the OCD aspects." Chef, however, gets the recipe just right.

**Director: **Jon Favreau**

**Cast: **Jon Favreau, Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Dustin Hoffman

Desperado (1995)

**Available to stream: **March 1

Robert Rodriguez's fascinating career encompasses both modern-day genre classics like *The Faculty* and *Sin City,* the kid-friendly *Spy Kids* franchise, and work on Disney's *The Mandalorian* and *The Book of Boba Fett. *The Texas-born polymath rose to prominence, however, with the one-two bunch of *El Mariachi *and *Desperado*.

*Desperado*, the second film in his *Mexico Trilogy*, stars Antonio Banderas as a well-armed mariachi seeking vengeance against the drug lord who killed his lover.

"Sometimes a filmmaker gets so far inside the tawdry pleasures of B-movie conventions that the pulp comes out spicy and hot; it can tickle the taste buds of even the most jaded viewer," reads EW's review. "*Desperado*, a propulsive rock & roll spaghetti Western, is that kind of movie."

**Director: **Robert Rodriguez

**Cast: **Antonio Banderas, Joaquim de Almeida, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin, Quentin Tarantino

Matilda (1996)

**Available to stream: **March 1

*Matilda*, based on Roald Dahl's wicked 1988 novel, has persevered over the years thanks to its careful balance of acidity, whimsy, and sentimentality. It follows the title character, a neglected child prodigy who channels her innate brilliance into telekinesis, which she wields against both her cruel family and her school's monstrous principal, Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris).

Mara Wilson, who stars as Matilda, spoke with EW in 2013 about the film's fidelity to Dahl's novel. "I do think that it stayed true to the heart of the book, which is that knowledge is power, and you can find yourself in books and learning and reading," she said.**

**Director: **Danny DeVito

**Cast: **Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz, Pam Ferris, Paul Reubens

Jamie Foxx in 'Ray'.

Nicola Goode/Universal

**Available to stream: **March 1

Jamie Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of blind soul legend Ray Charles in Taylor Hackford's *Ray*, a career-spanning biopic with an all-star cast featuring Kerry Washington, Regina King, and Terrence Howard.

"Sometimes you forget about our heroes, and this is a chance for us to look back and go, 'Wow, I didn’t know he was that complex,'" Foxx told EW at the time. "[He went through] all the things that could go wrong for a young African-American male, and he broke the color lines, broke all the barriers, and brought us all together.”

**Director: **Taylor Hackford

**Cast: **Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Clifton Powell, Harry Lennix, Terrence Howard, Larenz Tate, Curtis Armstrong, Regina King

Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers (1992)

Brian Krause in 'Sleepwalkers'.

Columbia Pictures

**Available to stream: **March 1

Stephen King has a supernatural ability to mine pathos from schlock, but his love for the lowbrow can sometimes overwhelm an otherwise irresistible tale. Take *Sleepwalkers*, the 1992 movie he penned about feline shapeshifters that feed on the souls of female virgins. As EW noted at the time, it's "genuinely unsettling when dealing with the incestuous relationship between porcelain Mom (Alice Krige) and all-American Son (Brian Krause), [but] quickly devolves into a campy rubber-suit extravaganza."

Still, there's plenty of campy fun to be had, much of it provided by *Twin Peaks*' beguiling Mädchen Amick and cameos from horror icons like Joe Dante, Clive Barker, and Tobe Hooper. Also, one unforgettable scene landed on EW's list of the scariest Stephen King moments.**

**Director: **Mick Garris

**Cast: **Brian Krause, Mädchen Amick, Alice Krige, Lyman Ward, Ron Perlman

War Machine (2026)

Alan Ritchson in 'War Machine'.

**Available to stream: **March 6

Alan Ritchson, the physical specimen who stars on Prime Video's *Reacher*, leads this Netflix original about a training exercise for U.S. Army Rangers that explodes into an action-choked sci-fi spectacle.

In a behind-the-scenes clip released by Netflix, Ritchson said he was drawn to his character, known only as 81, because he "inspires us to be the best version of ourselves.”

**Director: **Patrick Hughes

**Cast: **Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Daniel Webber

Nuremberg (2025)

Richard E. Grant, Michael Shannon, and Rami Malek in 'Nuremberg'.

**Available to stream: **March 7

*Nuremberg*, a historical drama released in late 2025, unfolds on the day after Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies. Oscar winner Rami Malek stars as a U.S. Army psychiatrist tasked with evaluating several high-ranking Nazi officers, including Air Force commander Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe).

The crack supporting cast includes a mix of reliable hands (Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, John Slattery) and rising talents (Leo Woodall, Mark O'Brien).**

**Director: **James Vanderbilt

**Cast: **Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Mark O'Brien, Colin Hanks, Wrenn Schmidt, Lydia Peckham, Richard E. Grant, Michael Shannon**

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere (2026)

**Available to stream: **March 11

In this documentary, acclaimed filmmaker Louis Theroux sets his sights on the "manosphere," an umbrella term for a burgeoning online ecosystem promoting misogyny and male supremacy, according to the Center for Countering Digital Hate. (The story of last year's Emmy-winning *Adolescence* was driven in part by the manosphere.)

“It’s sort of nothing like *Adolescence *but it’s in the precinct of what the boy in *Adolescence *might have been watching,” Therous said in a recent interview with *Deadline*. “I guess *Adolescence *was a proof of concept, but I don’t ever think we needed a proof of concept. We knew it was a hot subject.”

**Director: **Louis Theroux

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026)

'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man'.

**Available to stream: **March 20

*Peaky Blinders* lives on! A sequel series to the punchy crime drama is currently in development, but fans will first return to Birmingham with *The Immortal Man*, a film in which Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is forced to reckon with his son's involvement in the titular gang.

"For family, he's invited to come back to the world and save his son," said Steven Knight, *Peaky Blinders* creator and writer of *The Immortal Man*, in a chat with EW.

**Director: **Tom Harper

**Cast: **Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham**

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

Sandra Hüller in 'Anatomy of a Fall'.

**Available to stream: **March 23

The Oscar- and Palme d'Or-winning *Anatomy of a Fall *enraptured fans with its sticky, uncomfortable story of a woman suspected of killing her husband, who fell out of the window of their home. As we wrote in our review, Justine Triet's film is less interested in the culprit than in "the ambiguity of our lives, the strange line between reality and fiction, and the emotional toll of not fully knowing the truth."

Speaking with EW in October 2023, star Sandra Hüller touched on her own shifting beliefs about the crime (and her character). "What I really enjoyed was the fact that I was moved from one side to the other all the time. If I thought that she was innocent — whatever that means — also if I believed her or not, and I constantly had to question my own projections on her."

**Director: **Justine Triet**

**Cast: **Sandra Hüller, Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado-Graner, Antoine Reinartz, Samuel Theis, Jehnny Beth

Anemone (2025)

Sean Bean and Daniel Day-Lewis in 'Anemone'.

**Available to stream: **March 28

Daniel Day-Lewis emerged from retirement to star in *Anemone*, a heady 2025 drama about estranged brothers who reunite and reckon with their pasts in the woods of Northern England.

What drew the three-time Oscar winner back to the screen? His son, Ronan Day-Lewis, with whom he co-wrote the script. *Anemone* is Ronan's directorial debut.

**Director: **Ronan Day-Lewis

**Cast: **Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley
