Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Hulu | August 31-September 6, 2025
So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Hulu, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for August 31-September 6, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
1. The Bayou (2025)
Plane crash survival story? Already stressful. Add swamp creatures? Forget it.
In this new thriller, a group of college grads barely make it out of a crash in the Louisiana wetlands, only to realize the swamp is hiding something hungrier than gators. Directed by Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson, The Bayou mixes survival grit with creature-feature terror. Think Crawl meets The Shallows—all teeth, tension, and “don’t go in the water” energy.
2. Eenie Meanie (2025)
Samara Weaving in a neon-soaked action caper? Say less.
This Hulu Original follows a former teenage getaway driver who swore she was done with crime—until her unreliable ex drags her back in. Written and directed by Shawn Simmons (Wayne), with producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool), it’s sharp, bloody, and stylish. Weaving tears it up behind the wheel while Andy García, Steve Zahn, and Randall Park round out the madness.
3. The Other Woman (2014)
The revenge comedy you probably rewatched a hundred times on cable.
Cameron Diaz discovers her boyfriend is married, teams up with the wife (Leslie Mann), then finds a third mistress (Kate Upton). Together they decide to dismantle his entire life. Throw in Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as the smarmy cheater and Nicki Minaj in a scene-stealing side role, and you’ve got the ultimate girls’ night comedy.
4. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”
Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly is still the queen of icy one-liners, and Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs remains one of the most relatable “over it” assistants ever put on screen. Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Adrian Grenier round out this razor-sharp satire of the fashion world. Two Oscar noms, a Golden Globe for Streep, and countless quotable lines later—it’s basically required rewatching.
5. The Monkey (2025)
Stephen King + Osgood Perkins = nightmare fuel.
Based on King’s short story, The Monkey follows twin brothers who uncover their dad’s old toy monkey…and suddenly people around them start dying. Theo James, Elijah Wood, and Tatiana Maslany star, with James Wan producing, so you already know the scares won’t be subtle. It’s creepy, slow-burn horror with the kind of cursed-object vibe that’ll have you side-eyeing your attic.
6. John Wick (2014)
“Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.”
The movie that reignited Keanu Reeves’ career and changed action cinema overnight. When Russian thugs kill his dog and steal his car, retired hitman John Wick unleashes pure, choreographed fury. Sleek gun-fu, a surprisingly emotional core, and the first glimpse of the assassin underworld that’s now a full-blown universe. If somehow you’ve never seen it, Hulu just gave you no excuse.
7. John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
Rome, bulletproof suits, and a hall of mirrors fight.
Forced back into action by a blood oath, Wick takes the chaos global. This sequel introduces Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King, expands the rules of the High Table, and ups the kill count in jaw-dropping set pieces. It’s the movie that cemented Wick as a full-blown franchise, not just a one-off cult hit.
8. John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
With the bounty on his head climbing, John Wick takes the fight worldwide—New York, Paris, Berlin, Osaka—and the action set pieces are insane. Donnie Yen as a blind assassin? Incredible. Rina Sawayama smashing through glass in a nightclub fight? Instant classic. And that final showdown on the Sacré-Cœur steps? Cinema. This is Wick at his operatic best.
9. The Proposal (2009)
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, peak rom-com chemistry.
She’s a high-powered editor about to be deported; he’s her long-suffering assistant roped into a fake engagement. Cue family drama in Alaska, a scene-stealing Betty White, and one of the best “enemies to lovers” arcs of the 2000s. It’s goofy, charming, and still one of the most rewatchable romantic comedies on streaming.
10. X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
The end of an era for Fox’s X-Men.
Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) gets hit with a cosmic force that turns her into the unstable, unstoppable Phoenix. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain round out the stacked cast. The film was divisive, sure, but it’s a chance to see the X-Men saga go out with one last big, fiery swing.
And That’s a Wrap
From The Bayou’s swampy terror to The Proposal’s cozy rom-com vibes, Hulu’s got a mix this week that’s hard to beat. Want non-stop action? The John Wick trilogy is locked and loaded.
