31 Old And New Movies You Should Check Off Your "To Watch" List In March 2024 (And Why)

I'll likely be hyper-fixating on the cast of Dune: Part Two this month, which means, yes, it is time to rewatch 2019's Little Women for the hundredth time.

Over a year ago, I made the decision to try to watch more movies. I'm someone who has seen a lot of TV, but there are just a ton of classic movies I've somehow missed; I also wanted to be more up-to-date on current buzzy movies, too.

I joined Letterboxd in 2023 as a way to keep track of everything, and let me tell you, it's my favorite social media app now. I love logging movies, seeing what my friends are watching, creating lists, and more. I legit recommend it to everyone I talk to.

But there are a ton of movies out there, and sometimes it's hard to know what to watch when. So since March is also when the 2024 Oscars will air, I thought it would be fun to suggest 31 movies, aka one for every day, that would be worth a watch in this particular month and why.
