Hulu top 10 movies — here's the 3 worth watching right now

The best streaming services, including Hulu, come with 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.

After going through what's popular this week, we've narrowed down three of Hulu's current top 10 movies that stand out from the rest. This week is for those who love an action movie, though there's some range within the genre this week. There's a more horror-laced thriller involving a team-up with a serial killer and a third installment in a beloved action movie franchise. But there's also a wildly irreverent comedy for those who prefer something not action-packed.

So without further ado, here are the three movies worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 10 movies.

This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Thursday, July 25.

BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10

'Cult Killer' (2024)

This crime thriller gives some "The Silence of the Lambs" vibes. To be clear, do not expect anything as good as the 1991 classic (which you can still watch for a limited time on Prime Video) but there are some similarities.

In "Cult Killer" Alice Eve stars as Cassie Holt, a private investigator trying to discover who murdered her mentor. To solve the case, she must form an unlikely alliance with serial killer Mikeal Tallini (Antonio Banderas). However, as she gets further into the criminal underworld, she discovers a dark secret and must work not only to solve the murder of her mentor but also to clear him of wrongdoing in heinous crimes.

'White Chicks' (2004)

"Bad Boys for Life" has been hanging around the Hulu top 10 for a while now, probably in no small part due to the recent release of its sequel "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." The third movie in the "Bad Boys" franchise, "Bad Boys for Life" brings back both its stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett.

In this installment of the action franchise, we follow the duo as they face a new threat from a ruthless cartel leader, Isabel Aretas (Kate del Castillo), and her son Armando (Jacob Scipio). Along the way, they must also deal with their own personal challenges and ever-evolving friendship. If you've enjoyed the "Bad Boys" combination of comedy, drama, action and explosions, then "Bad Boys for Life" is the movie to watch this week on Hulu.

'Bring Him to Me' (2023)

I say this with love — there's no way this movie gets made today. But maybe it should because I could not stop laughing watching the trailer for "White Chicks." I'm not sure that I've seen this movie since it came out, but I'm now seriously thinking I need to watch it again.

Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, "White Chicks" stars his brothers Shawn and Marlon as FBI agents Marcus and Kevin Copeland. They are on thin ice after accidentally ruining a drug bust and now need to serve as escorts for sisters Brittany and Tiffany Wilson in the Hamptons for a weekend. After another screw-up, the sisters sustain injuries that force the Copeland brothers to go undercover ... using prosthetics to try and convince the wealthy Hamptonites that they are the Wilson sisters. Does it work? You'll have to watch to find out.
