In the past, I would post a monthly piece highlighting the best movies coming to Netflix each month. I haven’t done that list in a while, and when I was thinking about bringing it back, a new idea came to mind: why not look beyond just Netflix? There are a number of streaming services out now, all of which get new content added every month. So, rather than just look at the movies coming to…

I unfortunately forgot to post this list over the last couple of months, but it’s back now and it’s a strong month to come back in. Every year, March offers up a pretty mixed bag of movies. We’ve gotten big blockbusters, strong indies, and even some Oscar nominees.
