We love recommending movies here at Tom's Guide, and with all the new releases on Peacock this month, this is the perfect time to give you a rundown

This list checks out all the new releases coming to Peacock in March 2024, and includes a few of my favorites But don't worry, it doesn't include anything that I know is truly controversial or annoying

Instead, I've included one of the greatest dystopian series in a generation, a truly chilling post-apocalyptic thriller, the colorful and grating latest installment in the "Trolls" movie franchise (see, don't critique until you see it Here are some of the best new films to see at the Peacock this month

The Trolls are back in "Trolls Band Together" The latest in DreamWorks' animated series about the wild-haired toy dolls you remember playing with as a child Featuring a stellar cast that includes a genuine pop sensation, the "Trolls" series is undeniably for kids However, the fun karaoke numbers, eye-catching visuals, and playful humor make for a thoroughly enjoyable popcorn movie

In "Trolls Band Together," Branch (Justin Timberlake) and Poppy (Anna Kendrick) embark on a mission to rescue their brother Floyd (Troye Sivan) Along the way, they stumble upon the grumpy, music-phobic Branch's past as a member of the boy band BroZone Eric Andre, David Diggs, and Kid Cudi voice the other band members This latest "Trolls" film is also a de facto NSYNC reunion, with the boy band performing their first original songs in decades in the film

Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games rocked the world of young adult fiction from the early 2000s through the 2010s With the flood of imitations inspired by this work, it is easy to forget how genuinely fascinating the original was (especially since it is often written off as a "Battle Royale" copycat)

The story of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her rootsy coup against the Capitol's totalitarian regime opens this month at the Peacock The series includes the original "Hunger Games," "Catching Fire," and "Mockingjay" parts 1 and 2

The series is set in a dystopian future America where children fight to the death in the annual Hunger Games, held to entertain the ruling class When Katniss emerges as a hopeless champion from one of the poorest districts, what began as a struggle for survival snowballs into a full-blown revolution Of course, it wouldn't be a young adult film without a love triangle, but thankfully the teenage drama takes a backseat to the political intrigue and nail-biting action of the game itself

"Jesus Christ Superstar" is one of those movies that feels like a fever dream The rock opera soundtrack is of course iconic, filled with earworms like Karl Anderson's "Heaven on Their Minds" and "Superstar"

But it is the combination of the film's setting, shot on location in the literal desert of Israel, and the modern costumes and props, which fall somewhere between backwoods renaissance fair and retro-futurist cosplay, that really impresses Ted Neely as Jesus delivers a strong but understated performance, while Anderson as Judas forms the heart and soul of the film, belting out his inner turmoil and reservations from the hills of Jerusalem or from beyond the grave

No matter how cold this winter has been, nothing is colder than a "global freeze extinction event" "This is the hook for Snowpiercer This apocalyptic thriller is set on a train that circles the globe at top speed to prevent the last remnants of humanity from literally freezing to death The train is a completely self-contained ecosystem, a functioning society unto itself, with the poorest passengers in the rear cars and the wealthiest in the front

Based on the French graphic novel "Le Transperceneige," the film is a captivating, genre-bending epic and the English-language debut of South Korean director Pon Joon-ho, best known for his 2019 Best Picture Oscar winner "Parasite" Snowpiercer is a blunt but effective allegory about classism, and Bong creates an immersive world within the confines of its claustrophobic setting When a rebellion begins at the tail end, Chris Evans plays the leader of the rebels, while Tilda Swinton plays a woman defending a precarious order that is about to be overthrown

Okay: "Are there really three musicals on this list? Look, this is what happens when you give a grown-up theater boy free reign to choose his favorite movies

Before DreamWorks specialized in 3D after the blockbuster success of "Shrek," the studio established itself as a strong competitor to Disney with "Prince of Egypt" The Prince of Egypt, DreamWorks' second feature film and first traditionally animated film, wowed critics and audiences alike with its gorgeous visuals and wistful, haunting soundtrack, which blended then-nascent 3D technology with traditional 2D animation

Like many children, I was terrified by The Prince of Egypt Re-watching it as an adult, I finally understand why the film is so critically acclaimed (although the "plague" sequence is still absolute nightmare fuel)
