What’s new on Tubi this month? All three Rush Hour movies, including the original, are now streaming. All have funny moments, but Rush Hour is the best one. If you thought Bring It On was the only film about cheerleading, think again. Bring It On and its five sequels are available to stream. After the original, watch the franchise’s best sequel, Bring It On: All Or Nothing.

What’s great about Tubi is that access to its extensive library does not cost a dime. Tubi is a FAST service — free ad-supported streaming. Download the app and watch thousands of movies and TV shows for free. The trade-off is ads will run during each program. If you’re new to Tubi, start in the action genre and watch one of these three films: a dystopian thriller, an underseen reboot, and a 1980s classic.

Mad Max (1979)

Earlier this year, George Miller revisited the Wasteland in Furiosa: A Mad Max Story, a prequel to Fury Road. How did Max go mad, you ask? Revisit the titular character’s origin story in the franchise’s first film, Mad Max. Civilization is on the brink of collapse in a dystopian Australia, with oil becoming the most sought-after resource.

Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) is still trying to keep order as an officer with the Main Force Patrol. Max represents the last semblance of the law and the only thing standing in the way of a sadistic biker gang ruling the Wasteland. The entire film builds toward the moment Max becomes “mad.” When that happens, an anti-hero is born, one who will become the face of Miller’s excellent action franchise.

Stream Mad Max on Tubi.

Tomb Raider (2018)

Tomb Raider remains extremely popular nearly 30 years after it was first released as a video game. This year, the animated series, Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, premiered on Netflix, and Amazon just cast Sophie Turner in the main role of its upcoming live-action TV show. While Angelina Jolie receives the most recognition for her Tomb Raider movies, don’t sleep on Alicia Vikander’s Tomb Raider reboot from 2018.

Years after her father’s (Dominic West) disappearance, Lara Croft (Vikander) uncovers a major clue about where he was headed. The elder Croft was researching a queen named Himiko, whose tomb might be on the secret island of Yamatai in the Devil’s Sea. Determined to find her father, Lara embarks on a dangerous adventure to Yamatai and quickly discovers she’s not the only one looking for Himiko. Vikander comes off as a legitimate and believable adventurer in this highly entertaining action movie.

Die Hard (1988)

Just because something is obvious does not mean it should be excluded from the list. Die Hard is one of the most influential action movies ever made. It’s streaming on Tubi; therefore, it’s an automatic add to the list. Directed by John McTiernan, Die Hard stars Bruce Willis as John McClane, an NYPD cop visiting his estranged wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), at her company’s Christmas party in Los Angeles.

Season’s greetings come in the form of terrorists, who hijack the building and take the guests hostage. Led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), the terrorists plan to steal the $640 million in bearer bonds located in the building’s vault. Hans remains two steps ahead of the authorities. However, he didn’t plan for McClane, who becomes a one-man army in his quest to thwart the robbery and save his wife. Remember: Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so watch it during the holiday season.

3 underrated movies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in March 2025
Several workers with bags standing in a remote location looking scared in Severance.

What makes a movie underrated? It might be that critics have panned the film even though it has earned massive box office success and positive reception from audiences. Perhaps it’s the other way around, and critics love it, but audiences fail to see what’s so special. Some underrated movies are fantastic but simply didn’t get the attention they deserved and have slipped into the deep depths of streaming services, only to be unearthed by those who dare to find them.
The three underrated movies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in March 2025 fall into varying categories that qualify the movies as underrated. One broke records, yet critics refuse to give it two thumbs up. Another shares its name with one of the hottest shows streaming right now.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Official Trailer

Even before it premiered, The Super Mario Bros. Movie was getting a lot of flak for the choice of Chris Pratt as the voice of the titular character. Following the debut of this adventure comedy film in theaters, critics still weren’t convinced that it was a hit. But The Super Mario Bros. Movie delighted fans and proved naysayers wrong.
The film explored an interesting dynamic whereby Bowser (Jack Black) was a softie with a deep love for Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy). Of course, this brought us that lovely gem of a Peaches song that kids sang for weeks after. The movie's mixed reviews are no match for its tremendous box office success, not to mention the fact that it broke a Guinness World Record to become the highest-grossing movie based on a video game and became the first movie based on a video game to gross more than $1 billion. It’s incredible to learn that with all these huge numbers, The Super Mario Bros. Movie only has a 59% Rotten Tomatoes critics score.

I, Tonya (2017)

For those around in the early 1990s, the rivalry between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan was must-see TV. The conflict reached a boiling point after the infamous attack on Kerrigan and the subsequent investigation that tarnished Harding's reputation. This notorious scenario is played out in I, Tonya, Craig Gillespie's underrated biopic.
Harding (Margot Robbie) grows up as the daughter of an abusive mother, LaVona Golden (Allison Janney). As she reaches her teen years, Tonya becomes one of the best skaters in the world and trains for the Winter Olympics. Then, Tonya meets her future husband, Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian), changing the rest of her life. I, Tonya depicts Harding as a tragic figure in this surprisingly effective biopic, backed by tremendous performances from Robbie and Janney, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

No Sudden Move (2021)

Since coming out of retirement in 2017, Steven Soderbergh has released nearly one movie per year. Hollywood is a better place when an innovative filmmaker like Soderbergh works at such a prolific rate. One of his more underrated offerings during this post-retirement phase is No Sudden Move, a period piece set in 1950s Detroit about a heist gone wrong.
A group of petty criminals — including Curt Jones (Don Cheadle), Ronald Russo (Benicio del Toro), and Charley (Kieran Culkin) — are tasked with stealing an important document. The group is supposed to hold an accountant's family at gunpoint so he can then steal the document from his boss's safe. Eventually, Curt and Ronald learn they've been set up. Why? That's what they need to find out, including who hired them. It's not Ocean's Eleven, but No Sudden Move is a fun time at the movies, thanks to an eclectic cast and a filmmaker who knows this genre inside and out.
Stream No Sudden Move on Max.
Sully (2016)
Sully - Official Trailer [HD]
In your best Michael Rapoport voice, "Are you the pilot, Sully?" Tom Hanks plays pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger in the dramatic retelling of the Miracle on the Hudson in Sully. On January 15, 2009, Sully and First Officer Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) are piloting a flight from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte. Shortly after takeoff, a flock of birds crashed into both engines.
With little time to react, Sully successfully executes an emergency landing in the Hudson River. All 155 crew and passengers survived. It's a miraculous accomplishment, but the story doesn't stop there. An investigation into Sully's life-saving maneuver tries to smear the pilot's reputation. With a steady Clint Eastwood behind the camera and a stoic Hanks on screen, Sully is a fitting tribute to a humble hero who deserves praise despite never seeking it out.
