Best Movies on Hulu Right Now
Hulu's movie catalog is underrated. These are the films that make the subscription worth it — many of them exclusives you can't stream anywhere else.
Hulu doesn't get the attention Netflix or Amazon do, but its film catalog is quietly excellent. Between Searchlight acquisitions, A24 partnerships, and a rotating selection of catalog gems, there's always something worth watching.
We review Hulu's film library monthly and pull out the titles that justify their place in your watchlist. If you're already paying for Hulu (or getting it bundled with Disney+), these are the films you should prioritize.
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride (2016)
Cumberbatch and Freeman in a Victorian-era special. A clever puzzle-box for fans.
Infernal Affairs (2002)
The Hong Kong original that inspired The Departed. Tighter and more elegant than the Scorsese remake.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Nolan epic Batman trilogy conclusion. Tom Hardy Bane is terrifying. Satisfying finale.
Dogville (2003)
Lars von Trier on a bare soundstage. Nicole Kidman exploited by a small town. Provocative and unforgettable.
The Worst Person in the World (2021)
A young woman in Oslo navigates love and identity without Hollywood shortcuts. Funny, painful, and honest. If you missed it when it came out, now is the time.
My Fault (2023)
A young woman falls for her stepfather rebellious son. Guilty-pleasure Spanish romance that commits fully.
Mystic River (2003)
Three childhood friends reunited by tragedy. Sean Penn won the Oscar. Devastating meditation on violence.
Nightcrawler (2014)
Jake Gyllenhaal as a sociopath filming crime scenes for TV news. Deeply unsettling character study.
Black Swan (2010)
Natalie Portman Oscar-winning ballerina unraveling in pursuit of perfection. Ballet as body horror.
