The best streaming services, including Hulu, have deep content libraries. While that's great, because we get endless hours of TV shows and movies, it can be a bit of a struggle to figure out what to watch. Luckily, Hulu has a top 15 shows and movies collection that gives you a look at what’s trending on the platform.
This week, there are quite a few movies in the Hulu top 10, including a family-friendly Pixar movie and James Cameron's "Avatar." But leading the pack is a decidedly not family-friendly horror movie, last year's smash indie thriller "Longlegs." Trust me when I say it's a must-watch now that it's on Hulu.
So without further ado, here are the top movies worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 15. If you're looking for more to watch, check out our guide to Hulu's top shows.
This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Thursday, February 20.
BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10
'Longlegs' (2024)
"Longlegs" stars Maika Monroe as FBI Special Agent Lee Harker. Lee is a relatively new agent in her 20s, but when she shows signs of possible clairvoyance, she's suddenly thrust into a satanic serial killer case by her boss William Carter (Blair Underwood). These serial killings appear to be murder-suicides except for that at each crime scene the FBI has found a note written in code signed Longlegs.
This was one of my favorite thrillers from last year and I definitely recommend it for any horror or thriller fans. Not only do you get an excellent unhinged serial killer performance from Nicolas Cage as the titular Longlegs, but the second half of the movie is a total thrill ride that has an incredible twist.

'Avatar' (2009)
"Avatar" stars Sam Worthington as former Marine Jake Sully. A paraplegic, he's part of the Resources Development Administration (RDA) colonization efforts on Pandora to mine unobtanium. This colonization program is vital to human survival, as, in this version of 2154 A.D., Earth is on the brink of ecological collapse and resource exhaustion.
To mine unobtanium, the RDA uses Na'vi-human hybrids called "avatars," since the atmosphere of Pandora is inhospitable to human life. These avatars are operated by a genetically paired human, and Jake has been recruited to replace his dead identical twin, as he's a perfect genetic match. But as Jake explores Pandora, he realizes he might not be on the right side of the conflict between the human colonizers and the native Na'vi.

'Finding Nemo' (2003)
"Finding Nemo" stars Albert Brooks as the voice of Marlin, a clownfish that lives in a coral reef with his wife Coral (Elizabeth Perkins). They're preparing to start a family but one day a barracuda shows up and attacks their nest of eggs and Coral. After the attack, all that remains is one lonely, cracked egg.
From that egg is born Nemo, and the crack leads to him growing one fin shorter than the other. With only Nemo left, Marlin becomes an overprotective parent which causes Nemo to rebel. But when a scuba diver captures Nemo, Marlin goes on an incredible odyssey to get him back. This is my favorite Pixar movie of all time, so don't miss "Finding Nemo" now that you can stream it on Hulu.
