Right now, Hulu is the only place you can stream Parasite, Bong Joon Ho’s masterful social justice thriller that won this year’s Academy Award for Best Picture. From recent Oscar winners to blockbuster superhero flicks to vintage thrillers, here’s a rundown of the best movies to stream on Hulu right now. Hulu’s film library is similarly stacked with a goldmine of great titles, old and new.
Hulu has tons of network TV classics, like Family Matters, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Golden Girls, too. Plus, the streamer recently joined forces with FX to host its library of content on the platform.
Its original series lineup is stacked, from The Handmaid’s Tale and Ramy to Little Fires Everywhere and Normal People. It may be under-estimated, but Hulu is a goldmine of good content. And Disney+ is the baby of the bunch, who mostly skates by on cuteness.
Netflix is the show-off oldest sibling who has to be the best and first at everything. While Legend of the Guardians gets a bit held up by its twisting narrative, the sheer brilliance of the onscreen vistas, caves, and other “bird’s eye” makes for a visual experience that is hard to beat.Hulu is like the woebegone middle-child of the streaming family, the one continuously forgotten about and taken for granted. When the siblings learn that the evil sect plans on turning them into owl soldiers and material scrappers, Soren and a host of new companions must make a daring escape from enemy clutches to track down the Guardians once more. Coincidentally, Soren and his mischievous older brother, Kludd (Ryan Kwanten), are captured by two scouts from the Pure Ones after evading a Tasmanian devil attack. One recurring fable is of the titular Guardians, an armada of protectors who once saved the world of owls from a takeover by the wretched Pure Ones. The story centers on Soren (voiced by Jim Sturgess), a young barn owl captivated by the many fantastical stories of his father, Noctus (Hugo Weaving). Such is the case with the director’s 2010 animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. When Zack Synder isn’t busy delivering multi-million dollar blockbusters and zombie epics to cinema and at-home screens, the maestro can be found dipping his auteur toes into some rather unfamiliar terrain, with results that are mostly rewarding. But if you can unplug your brain enough to simply be wowed by the many computer-generated frills, then we’re sure everyone can find something to love (or at least like). Delightful and silly, Hotel Transylvania wasn’t exactly written for the adults of the kids who will inevitably love the film. Hot on Jon’s trail, it’s up to Dracula to get rid of the mortal man before his ghoulish guests catch wind of the imposter. Inviting an ensemble of monsters from all over the world to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ (Selena Gomez) 118th birthday, Dracula’s ultimate shindig falls short when an unsuspecting human named Jonathan (Andy Samberg) accidentally wanders onto the gloomy grounds and starts pining after Mavis.
The dazzling and fun-filled 2012 animated film of the same name features the voice talents of Adam Sandler as the maestro of macabre himself, Count Dracula. Where do the fanged, clawed, and tentacled terrors of the world retreat for a little R&R? Hotel Transylvania, of course.
