If you are an aficionado of classic cinema, HBO Max is offering some of Hollywood’s greatest films to stream in March.

To determine the best movies to stream on HBO Max this March, 24/7 Tempo developed an index using average ratings on IMDb, an online movie database owned by Amazon, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, an online movie and TV review aggregator, as of March 2023, weighting all ratings equally. We considered only movies with at least 5,000 audience votes on either IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, and ruled out documentaries. (Data on streaming availability, current as of this month, comes from the streaming guide Reelgood, and directorial credits are from IMDb.)

Our list features a thumbs-up consensus among Rotten Tomatoes critics and audience members alike. Thirty-four out of 50 movies on our list of movies that can be streamed on HBO Max in March hold a score of 90% or above from RT critics and audience members. Eleven of the films have a perfect 100% Freshness score among RT critics. (Compare this list to the best movies on Netflix right now.)

These include the classics “The Gold Rush,” “Limelight,” “City Lights,” and “Modern Times.” (Read here about Charlie Chaplin’s best and worst movies.)
