The 8 movies coming to Netflix in March that are worth watching

Remember that "Crouching Tiger" sequel Netflix ended up releasing? Yeah, skip that and go with the original. Ang Lee's beautiful story and game-changing fight sequences led to so many imitators, but none came close to capturing the poetry in Lee's movie.

Amy Adams received her first Oscar nomination for her supporting role in this 2005 indie in which she plays a very chatty mom-to-be who is hoping the baby will heal her struggling marriage. The role showed that Adams was going to be one of the greats.

This one gets a lot of jabs thrown at it since it's one of the movies with the lowest box office ever to win a best picture Oscar. But if you give it another look, Kathryn Bigelow (who also won a best director Oscar for the movie) delivers a powerful work with great performances by Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty.

A big reason why we can't get enough of this Nicholas Sparks adaptation is because of the perfect casting of not just Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, but also James Garner and Gena Rowlands as the couple in their later years. The combination leads to an emotional journey of one couple's love story. This one never gets old.

Before Jennifer Lawrence became Katniss Everdeen, she earned an Oscar nomination playing a tough Ozark Mountains girl who, in trying to find her missing father, has to delve deep into the meth-dealing syndicate that rules her town.

Cate Blanchett earned an Oscar win for her performance in this Woody Allen drama, as she plays a down-and-out New York socialite who tries to start over in San Francisco. It doesn't work out.

Set in 1980s East Berlin, we follow an agent of the Stasi secret police who, while conducting surveillance of a writer and his wife, becomes completely absorbed in their lives. Winner of the best foreign language Oscar in 2007, this is one you have to see.
