At the beginning of (and during) each month, Netflix adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Below, you’ll find our March 2017 recommendations. For more comprehensive coverage of the best titles available on Netflix and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.

Candygram for Mongo: Blazing Saddles

Pick your favorite reason for celebrating Mel Brooks’s hysterical 1974 comedy masterwork. The perfect, bean-powered spoofery of the Western genre? The insidious racial satire, with a plot that tasks a black sheriff with protecting a town of white, bigoted idiots who hate his guts? The wonderful, blue-eyed magnetism of the dearly departed Gene Wilder as an alcoholic marksman playing sidekick to Cleavon Little’s Sheriff Bart? Brooks recently took Saddles on a roadshow, and there was something liberating about laughing along with hundreds of strangers to the audaciousness of this humor in 2016. Available March 1.

Secret whisperings of the world: The BFG

You probably didn’t see Steven Spielberg’s latest family-fantasy epic, in which a lumbering Mark Rylance imbued Roald Dahl’s lovable, simple-minded giant with a heart and pathos that towered over his physical height, because the film made only a tiny, Sophie-sized amount at the box office. But The BFG is a true gem, with that familiar Spielbergian-storytelling magic carrying us through set pieces both whimsical (the opening, with the BFG strolling London’s streets at night, diving behind lampposts to avoid detection) and crass (a bit where everyone gets a little gaseous “whizpopping” action). Plus, Spielberg hews closely to Dahl’s beloved source material, resisting his usual urge to bang out a superfluous 15-minute epilogue. Available March 15.

Talking out loud: The Carmichael Show

Not since the golden era of Norman Lear has one sitcom so effortlessly compressed the political and moral upheaval of our time into one family’s living room. Jerrod Carmichael, the boyishly charming creator and star of the NBC series, wants us to see a modern black family argue about everything from gentrification to depression to gender roles — to have everyone present their perspective, forcefully, from armchairs and kitchen tables, and to find a wonderful kind of arch-comedy from the sorts of disagreements currently tearing America apart. The Carmichael Show just barely squeaked its way to a third-season renewal; this is a good time to catch up. Available March 31.
