Unlike other broadcasters, the bulk of new HBO Max movies in March tend to be older titles.
Thankfully, there are plenty of fun and quirky movies to choose from, especially if you missed them in theaters.
The Watch Us team has selected the following three movies under HBO Max that you should watch in March 2026.
Our picks include the odd horror film, the darkest comedy and one of the most influential novel adaptations of all time.
‘Men’ (2022)
Irish actress Jessie Buckley he did not appear before his Oscar-winning role Hamnet. He also starred in the A24 horror film, Men. Buckley plays Harper Marlowe, a recently widowed woman who is still reeling from the death of her husband, James (Paapa Essiedu). To take his mind off his case, Harper takes a vacation to a small town called Cotson.
Harper thought nothing of it when she met Geoffrey (Rory Kinnear), the owner of the house he rents from. But it’s impossible not to notice that every man in town looks like Geoffrey – and that includes the mysterious naked man who stalks Harper. That’s more than enough to make anyone question their sanity, but Harper’s torture has only just begun. And he won’t be able to escape it forever.
Men airs on HBO Max.
‘Little Miss Sunshine’ (2006)
Abigail Breslin she had one of her first major roles as a young girl named Olive in Little Miss Sunshine.

When Olive is offered a spot in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant in California, the whole family packs into the same battered Volkswagen van.

In contrast Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola only produced Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. It fell to Kenneth Branagh directing the film and starring in it as Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist obsessed with creating life from death. No one can stop Frankenstein from his goal, which ends up creating a creature (Robert De Niro), who was created in the mind of his mentor and the body of the killer.
The creature soon finds out that he is an outcast in this world and no one will accept him as one of them. His jealousy of Victor is so great that it threatens the life of Frankenstein’s wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), if his suitor rejects his request to create a bride. And unlike other versions of the story, this creature doesn’t make threats that we can’t deal with.
