Hulu remains a popular service with adult-oriented content. For example, A Star Is Born, Sisu, and John Wick: Chapter 4 are three movies beloved by an adult crowd.
That doesn’t mean Hulu has abandoned kids’ programming. School of Rock, a charming musical comedy from Richard Linklater, is a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The Princess Bride is also a family-friendly adventure that will enchant and entertain audiences. Below is our guide to the best movies on Hulu this month.
We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best free movies.

The Death of Stalin (2017)
Director Armando Iannucci’s The Death of Stalin is a riotous black comedy exploring the demise of one of history’s worst dictators. Specifically, it follows the members of Stalin’s (Adrian McLoughlin) Central Committee as they bumble their way to maintain order after his sudden death.
Lavrenti Beria (Simon Russell Beale) tries to wield power from behind the scenes through blackmail and manipulation. As a result, Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi) plans a coup against Beria. The movie is far from historically accurate, given that most of the characters speak in British or North American accents. However, the movie boasts spectacular and hilarious performances from its cast, which includes Paddy Considine, Rupert Friend, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko, Michael Palin, Andrea Riseborough, and Paul Whitehouse.

After witnessing the children’s musical abilities, Dewey decides to educate the children about rock music and form a band as a class project. Entering the class in a Battle of the Bands is so unorthodox that it might just work.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
The Baba Yaga’s crusade against the High Table receives an epic conclusion in John Wick: Chapter 4. The High Table enlists the Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård) to kill John. But John won’t go quietly as he agrees to a duel in Paris with seismic ramifications.
Chapter 4 was supposed to be the final entry for Reeves. However, the financial success — a franchise-best $447 million grossed worldwide — and the character’s popularity pushed Lionsgate to develop a fifth film with Stahelski and Reeves.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
The movie that turned the late Heath Ledger into a heartthrob (and rightfully so) was 10 Things I Hate About You. In this modern adaptation of a Shakespeare comedy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Cameron, a new student who wants to date the popular Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik).
In Bianca’s house, there is one rule: she can’t date until her antisocial sister, Kat (Julia Stiles), does. Enter Patrick Verona (Ledger), the handsome bad boy recruited by Cameron to woo Kat. Patrick is used to getting what he wants, but winning over Kat will be his hardest challenge yet.

Anora, the reigning winner for Best Picture at the Oscars, is all about a young woman who really wants her Cinderella story to come true. Mikey Madison won Best Actress for her turn as Anora Mikheeva, a sex worker who has gone about as far as she can in life until she meets Ivan “Vanya” Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn). In Ivan, Anora sees a way out and a potential life of ease and luxury thanks to his wealth.
Unfortunately for Anora, she and Ivan underestimated just how far his Russian oligarch parents, Nikolai (Aleksei Serebryakov) and Galina Zakharova (Darya Ekamasova), would go to annul their marriage and keep them apart. When Ivan runs off, he leaves Anora to face his parents’ henchmen alone.

Longlegs (2024)
Nicolas Cage is the thing that goes bump in the night as the title character in Longlegs. The studio made the right choice to withhold Cage’s appearance before the movie was released. For two decades, Longlegs has targeted families and staged their murders to make it appear as if the father killed everyone.
In 1994, FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is on the case, and she’s made it her personal mission to bring Longlegs’ reign of terror to an end. While Harker is hunting Longlegs, he’s got his own deadly objectives to meet, and the mystery behind his identity leads directly back to her past.

Alien: Romulus (2024)
The Weyland-Yutani corporation has basically been the villain in every Alien movie to date, and Alien: Romulus is no exception. In this film, we learn that not only has Weyland-Yutani been using humans as conscripted labor in space, but that the corporation also found the wreckage of the Nostromo, Ripley’s ship from the original Alien.
To escape their unjustly extended contracts with Weyland-Yutani, Rain (Cailee Spaeny), her android Andy (David Johnsson), Kay Harrison (Isabela Merced), and a few others undertake a risky mission to scavenge materials from an abandoned space station. By the time they realize that Weyland-Yutani’s Xenomorph experiments took place on that station, it’s too late to escape intact. And it may not be possible to escape at all after a lingering surprise from the past changes Andy’s programming and turns his loyalty away from Rain.

Prey (2022)
Serving as a centuries-ago prequel to the 1987 film Predator, Prey gives us the story of a Comanche warrior named Naru (Amber Midthunder) who aspires to be the mighty protector of her Great Plains tribe. One day, a powerful new foe descends on her clan, forcing Naru and her fellow Comanche to summon up all their wits and strength to thwart the combatant extraterrestrial.
Prey is a propulsive and blood-soaked nail-biter of an action film, and one that could effectively stand alone as a singular entity. But in this case, it’s a new entry in a much-loved franchise, and it’s one we’re betting will make plenty of fans happy.
