Looking for something high-quality to watch on Netflix this month? Then Rotten Tomatoes makes for a great starting point. Yes, taste is inherently subjective, but a movie that earns a high score on the review aggregate site indicates that most critics rate it as a quality watch.<\/p>\n

Netflix adds a lot of movies to its library every month, from new originals to old favorites, and it would take you quite a while to comb through and pick out the high-ranking flicks yourself. I know this because that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve done. I\u2019m here to stop your scrolling and instead spend more time streaming enjoyable movies from animated adventures to gripping dramas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are the five new to Netflix movies that score at least 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes in March 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lego Movie\u201d is one of my favorite family flicks of the 2010s, and even after rewatching it an embarrassing number of times over the years (yes, I\u2019m a grown adult with zero children), it still makes me break out in a goofy smile every single time. Animated to look like Lego pieces come to life, it tells a simple underdog story but is full of good humor, likeable characters, and important life lessons. Plus, its soundtrack also has a total earworm tune.<\/p>\n

In the plastic city of Bricksburg, Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) is just a regular Lego mini-figure; there\u2019s seemingly nothing special about him. But when he stumbles upon the fable \u201cPiece of Resistance,\u201d he\u2019s thrown into a dimension-hopping adventure. Teaming up with Master Builder Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), it\u2019s up to this everyday construction worker to save the entire Lego world before a sinister villain can destroy everything brick by brick.<\/p>\n

Netflix was already home to \u201cHell or High Water\u201d and \u201cWind River,\u201d now it\u2019s completing the \u201cAmerican Frontier Trilogy\u201d by adding \u201cSicario.\u201d These three flicks are narratively unconnected, but each explores the modern American West and is written by \u201cYellowstone\u201d creator Taylor Sheridan. Each is excellent in its own right, but \u201cSicario\u201d might be the best of the bunch, with Denis Villeneuve in the director\u2019s chair, adding astounding cinematic craft.<\/p>\n

FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) has risen through the ranks of a male-dominated profession and is eager to prove herself. Recruited for a secretive task force, she is assigned to work under CIA officer Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and a morally grey operative, Alejandro (Benicio del Toro). Their job is to bring down the leader of a Mexican drug cartel, a difficult goal that is complicated further when hidden agendas and professional egos intertwine.<\/p>\n

Roald Dahl\u2019s \u201cMatilda\u201d is bringing some magic to Netflix this month, but don\u2019t worry, musical haters (shame on you!), this isn\u2019t the 2022 all-singing adaptation; instead, it\u2019s the 1996 classic directed by Danny DeVito. Having rewatched this recently for the first time in a couple of decades, I can confirm it\u2019s stood the test of time extremely well. It remains just as entertaining 30 years on, and the chocolate cake scene is iconic for very good reasons.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is an inquisitive young girl who doesn\u2019t fit in with her vile family. Mistreated by her callous parents (DeVito and Rhea Perlman), her school life isn\u2019t much better under the eye of the cruel Miss Trunchbull (Pam Ferris). Matilda finds comfort in the kind Miss Honey (Embeth Davidtz), and when she discovers she has magical powers, she has everything she needs to turn the tables on her tormenters once and for all.<\/p>\n

If you watched (and enjoyed) the charming \u201cA Man Called Otto\u201d back in 2022, now is your chance to circle back and see the original. Yes, the delightful Tom Hanks-starring comedy-drama was actually a remake of a Swedish movie, \u201cA Man Called Ove.\u201d This precursor might lack the presence of Hanks, but Rolf Lassg\u00e5rd is equally excellent in the eponymous role of Ove, and, as is often the case, the original boasts higher critics’ scores than the remake.<\/p>\n

Ove (Lassg\u00e5rd) is your quintessential cracky senior citizen. Living in a townhouse neighborhood, he\u2019s not the welcoming kind, preferring instead to groan and grumble about his fellow community members and enforcing strict block association rules. However, when an energetic young family moves in next door, Ove is forced out of his shell, and while he\u2019s reluctant at first, soon a sweet friendship forms and Ove begins to show his softer side.<\/p>\n

\u2018Anatomy of a Fall\u2019 (2023)<\/p>\n

ANATOMY OF A FALL – Official Trailer – YouTube
\n\"ANATOMY<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d isn\u2019t just one of my favorite legal dramas of the decade; it\u2019s one of my favorite movies released in the 2020s, period. It\u2019s sort of like a highly bingeable crime drama TV show condensed into a single two-and-a-half-hour film, and it\u2019s every bit as engaging as that sounds.<\/p>\n

Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars, and nominated for four more (including Picture, Director and Actress), \u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d is a remarkable exploration of a rocky relationship, and a young child caught in the middle of a tragic accident. Or was it an accident?<\/p>\n

See, that\u2019s the crux of this French movie from director Justine Triet: Did Samuel (Samuel Theis) fall to his death, or was he pushed by his wife, Sandra (Sandra H\u00fcller)? As the investigation into the \u201caccident\u201d continues, the couple\u2019s young son, Daniel (Milo Machado-Graner), is dragged into proceedings. As the court date looms, the pair\u2019s unhappy marriage is explored, and Daniel must decide which version of events he believes.<\/p>\n
