Peacock has really outdone itself in March with one of its most loaded lineups of critically acclaimed films to date.
There are some months when streamers struggle to land films with 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, Peacock has so many to choose from this month that the lowest-scoring film in Watch With Us‘ roundup has 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
This month’s films include two Best Picture winners and a Best Picture nominee whose legend has only grown bigger over the last two decades.
What’s New on Peacock in March 2026 — The Full List of Movies and TV Shows
‘Lost in Translation’ (2003)
Sofia Coppola may not have made an impact as an actress, but she established herself as an A-list director with Lost in Translation. This film also elevated Scarlett Johansson after her fantastic performance as Charlotte, the young wife of a celebrity photographer named John (Giovanni Ribisi). During John’s extended assignment in Tokyo, Charlotte meets and befriends Bob Harris (Bill Murray), a former movie star whose most lucrative days now include filming Japanese ads.
Bob is also in an unhappy marriage, and the loneliness that comes with that helps him bond with Charlotte. Just watching these two hang out would have been a fun movie. But the film also explores the complexities of their relationship. The film’s ending has also become famous for withholding some information from the audience, but that ambiguity is one of the reasons that this story has endured.
Lost in Translation is streaming on Peacock.
‘Argo’ (2012)
Ben Affleck was snubbed for Best Director and Best Actor when Argo received its Oscar nominations. But he walked out of the Academy Awards with the Oscar for Best Picture, so it’s still the high point of his career. Unfortunately, recent events have brought the conflict between the United States and Iran back to the forefront. Argo takes place in the shadow of the Iranian Revolution, as most of the U.S. embassy staff are held hostage during a tense standoff with America.
5 Best Ben Affleck Movies Ever, Ranked: From ‘Argo’ to ‘Good Will Hunting’
Six hostages managed to hide at the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor (Victor Garber). To get them out alive, CIA Officer Tony Mendez (Affleck) has a bold plan to fake a science fiction movie to be filmed in Iran. To convince the Iranians, the production has to be as real as possible. And Mendez has to put his own life on the line in Iran to make sure the operation can smuggle the employees out of the country without being detected.

‘Spotlight’ (2015)
Spotlight is the second Best Picture winner on this list, and it’s also based on a true story. Michael Keaton leads the cast as Walter “Robby” Robinson, the editor of the Boston Globe. Mark Ruffalo also stars as Michael Rezendes, a reporter on the Boston Globe‘s Spotlight investigation team alongside Sacha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams), Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) and Ben Bradlee Jr. (John Slattery).
In 2001, Robinson directs the Spotlight team to look into allegations that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston kept a priest in its service despite accusations that he was sexually abusing children. What they find is evidence that the scandal goes far beyond a single priest, and that a cover-up has been going on for decades. But as more disturbing truths come out, Robinson clashes with Rezendes and other members of the Spotlight team about their obligation to warn the community versus their responsibility to complete the story first.
