6 Best Classic Movies on Netflix (March 2026): ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ and More
3. ‘House of Gucci’ (2021)
Working-class Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) spends her days as an office manager at her father’s trucking company. But when she meets the heir to the Gucci family fortune, Maurizio Gucci (Driver), at a party by chance, their blossoming romance turns into a marriage to the Gucci dynasty. However, Maurizio’s father, Rodolfo (Jeremy Irons), believes Patrizia only wants him for his money, and subsequently disinherits Maurizio. But Patrizia is crafty in her dogged pursuits to be a part of the Gucci name, and in the end, her ambitions are the undoing of the entire family and her life.
Some people claim that the fake Italian accents in House of Gucci are distracting, but we feel that they only add to the absurd charm of Ridley Scott‘s film. In addition to the fact that Lady Gaga is more locked in than ever before, the movie features an obscenely comical performance from Jared Leto as the hapless Gucci heir Paolo. House of Gucci is not a perfect film, no, and the screenplay does leave something to be desired. But it is an absolute showcase in some of the best scenery-chewing you will ever see, and for that reason, it is an incredible journey.
2. ‘Blue Moon’ (2025)
While his former collaborator enjoys the opening night premiere of his new musical, Oklahoma!, lyricist Lorenz Hart (Ethan Hawke) gets away from the hubbub and heads to Sardi’s restaurant before the festivities. There, he holds court with the bartender (Bobby Cannavale) and the piano player (Jonah Lees), talking about his pen pal relationship with a 20-year-old named Elizabeth Weiland (Margaret Qualley), whom he is eager to make fall in love with him. On this evening of March 31, 1943, Hart confronts deep personal wounds and failings, while everyone around him seems destined for success.
Blue Moon is based on the real-life letters between Weiland, then an aspiring production designer, and Hart, and paints a moving portrait of a tormented artist who has self-destructed. Hawke does some of his best and most sensitive work yet playing Hart, and Richard Linklater favors a subdued, immersive atmosphere that suits the director of Dazed and Confused. You don’t need to be a Hollywood historian to enjoy Blue Moon — it’s a fantastic script carried by an ensemble of radiant performances, and it well deserves its Oscar nominations for Best Actor (for Hawke) and Best Original Screenplay.
1. ‘Nuremberg’ (2025)
U.S. Army psychiatrist Lt Col. Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) is tasked with evaluating the mental health of 22 Nazi surviving leaders, following the surrender of the Nazis on May 8, 1945 — including Hitler’s right-hand man, Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe). Ultimately, a tribunal is put together at Nuremberg to charge these remaining Nazi leaders with war crimes, but Kelley soon finds himself in a psychological battle of wits against the crafty, narcissistic Göring, who attempts to feign ignorance of the crimes against humanity that he helped commit against millions.

Nuremberg is a gripping and urgent historical drama, led by a magnetic performance from Crowe. The movie does not have lofty ambitions to be particularly artistic or subversive, but it serves a necessary function as an informative film that educates as well as entertains. Overall, Nuremberg feels like an old-fashioned, Oscar-bait bio-drama in all the best ways. It also features a stacked cast that includes Michael Shannon, John Slattery, Colin Hanks and Richard E. Grant.
