May is one of the longest months of the year, and Hulu subscribers may need all 31 days to catch some of their favorite movies before they leave at the end of the month. The brilliant satire Thank You For Smoking, the intense noir thriller L.A. Confidential, The Wrestler, Taken, Salt, Life of Pi, Scarface, and more are all on their way out of the door. Some of them have gone through this cycle before and come back to Hulu. But there’s no guarantee that you’ll see them again on this streaming service.
Right now, you have time to catch all of these films at your leisure. If you go through our list of everything leaving Hulu in May 2024, it should be easy start planning your movie nights in advance. Our favorite picks for the month are in bold.
This is also a great time to consider the Disney Bundle, which gets you Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ for just $14 per month. That’s basically like getting all three services, but only paying for two of them, and it’s pretty tough to beat. It’s also a great way to make sure you don’t miss anything on any of these services.
Trying to catch all the best films and shows before they become unavailable at the end of the month? Check our other monthly roundup of everything leaving Netflix.
Our top pick for May
Thank You for Smoking (2005)
Before he co-starred in The Dark Knight, Aaron Eckhart starred in Thank You For Smoking as Nick Tayor, an unapologetic spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies. There’s nothing that Nick won’t do in the name of the job he loves job, even when he’s in front of his own son, Nick (Cameron Bright).
Nick’s life takes a turn for the worse when he’s kidnapped by anti-smoking activists who cover his body with nicotine patches. Nick survives, but he can never smoke again. And his life only gets more chaotic after that.
