With a whole host of titles leaving Netflix UK at the end of March, make sure you’re not an April fool by catching some of the best films on the streaming service before they disappear. From a truly spooky horror to an underrated Almodovar, not to mention a modern classic and a nostalgic cartoon, this is your last chance to stream the following:

 

Being John Malkovich – 12th March

A lowly puppeteer takes a job as a file clerk in an office, only to discover a mysterious portal that transports a person into the mind of actor John Malkovich, only to be spit out alongside the New Jersey Turnpike fifteen minutes later.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe – 19th March

This low-budget chiller from André Øvredal, director of Trollhunter, stars Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch and is genuinely terrifying stuff.

Julieta – 19th March

Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte deliver powerful performances in Pedro Almodovar’s mystery drama.

American Honey – 20th March

Sasha Lane, Riley Keough and Shia LaBeouf deliver quietly starmaking turns on the fringes of American society in Andrea Arnold’s intoxicating road movie, which makes you fall in and out of love with the road over and over again.

Doctor Strange – 24th March

Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a charismatic lead performance in this overly familiar but visually stunning Marvel blockbuster.

Queen of Katwe – 25th March

A chess movie starring David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong’o with a moving maternal bond at its centre? Checkmate.

The Real Ghostbusters – 31st March

Four paranormal professionals team up to tackle the weird and the otherworldly in this childhood-shaping cartoon of the 80s and 90s.

Arrival – 31st March

Language is essential to life. It can define a community, it can exclude outsiders, and, at its most primal, cognitive level, it can, to some degree, influence the way we think. The thought of aliens touching down on our planet, then, is a linguist’s dream. So why do so many science fiction movies brush over it? Not so with Arrival. Denis Villeneuve’s film embraces that grammatical nerdiness with intelligence and emotion, taking the logic of first contact to profound heights not seen since Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The result is one of the best films of the year – science fiction at its most thoughtful, elegant and moving.

Labyrinth – 31st March

“I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.” If you’ve never seen David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King in this iconic 1986 fantasy, this is your chance.

The Light Between Oceans – 31st March

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander shine in this picturesque and powerfully emotional weepie, from Derek Cianfrance, the director of Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines.

Network – 31st March

“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

Personal Shopper – 31st March

Kristen Stewart delivers a sensational performance in this psychological thriller, which sees her reunite with Olivier Assayas. Read our review

Rain Man – 31st March

Barry Levinson’s 1988 classic is one of cinema’s definitive odd couple comedies, pairing hot young thing Tom Cruise and awkwardly low-key Dustin Hoffman as high-flying yuppie Charlie and his autistic brother, Raymond. The two play their roles perfectly, selling the script’s conflicts and life lessons, which to modern audiences might at first seem cliched. The result is a character study of two deeply thought-out characters, which manages to be sentimental without ever becoming saccharine. Charming.

Whiplash – 31st March

A music student determined to be the best drummer of all time (Miles Teller) is pushed to his limits by a sadistic teacher (J.K. Simmons). The result is a riveting drama that has the toe-tapping style of jazz and the exhilarating thrill of an action movie.

Their Finest – 31st March

Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy are on top form in this likeable comedy-drama about a former secretary, newly appointed as a scriptwriter for propaganda films, who joins the cast and crew of a major production while the Blitz rages around them.

Tower – 31st March

On August 1st, 1966, a sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes. When the gunshots were finally silenced, the toll included 16 dead, three dozen wounded, and a shaken nation left trying to understand. This rotoscope documentary, part-reconstruction and part-survivor testimony is a powerful, nail-biting, devastating account of what happened.

Babe – 4th April

That’ll do, pig.

Nocturnal Animals – 12th April

Icy LA gallery owner Susan (Amy Adams) receives the manuscript of an unpublished novel from her ex-husband Tony (Jake Gyllenhaal), the man whose heart she broke two decades before. She reads the novel, which tells the terrifying story a family terrorised by a wild gang on a remote stretch of desert road. Then she realises that Tony may be trying to tell her something… Michael Shannon and a menacing Aaron Taylor-Johnson lend mesmerising support to writer-director Tom Ford’s chilling and compellingly layered tale of revenge.
