Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Hulu | June 22-28, 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 June 22-28, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

Iron Man (2008)

Before the multiverse, before the Avengers assembled, there was Iron Man. And let’s be real—it still slaps. Robert Downey Jr. turned Tony Stark into a swaggering, snarky icon, and Jon Favreau somehow kicked off an entire cinematic universe with one guy in a metal suit. The origin story’s tight, the dialogue’s smart, and the final battle holds up surprisingly well.

But what makes it really work is how grounded it feels. Stark’s journey from weapons tycoon to reluctant hero isn’t just satisfying—it’s earned. Plus, Jeff Bridges as a bald villain in a mech suit? Underrated. The soundtrack is all crunchy guitars and attitude, and every scene hums with energy.

This one doesn’t need nostalgia to feel fresh. It’s still one of the best superhero movies out there. Period.

Absolution (2024)

Liam Neeson plays another aging hitman—but this time, he’s forgetting things. Absolution puts him in the shoes of a mob enforcer with early-stage CTE, trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter before everything he knows slips away. It’s moody, violent, and weirdly tender in spots.

There’s a lot of regret in Neeson’s performance—less “punch your way out,” more “stare into the middle distance and sigh.” But don’t worry, he still gets into shootouts. Ron Perlman adds that usual grizzled menace, and Yolonda Ross gives the story some grounding. It’s about redemption, sort of. And maybe survival. But mostly, it’s about time running out.

It’s not his best film, but it’s trying to say something deeper. And Neeson, even when tired, still has presence for days.

Skincare (2024)

Celebrity skincare has never looked this twisted. Skincare stars Elizabeth Banks as a high-end facialist who starts suspecting someone’s sabotaging her career—and maybe trying to kill her. What starts as industry paranoia spirals into a glossy, blood-spattered thriller that’s part satire, part stalker flick.

The aesthetic is flawless—think hyper-lit spas, Instagram-perfect interiors, and suspiciously perfect influencers. Nathan Fillion shows up. So does Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. But the real star here is the vibe: polished, tense, and just a little unhinged. You’re never totally sure what’s real or what’s projection.

It’s Black Swan meets American Psycho, with a jade roller. Unsettling in the best way.

Grown Ups (2010)

Sometimes you just want to watch grown men fall into lakes and insult each other. Grown Ups gets that. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, and the rest of the Happy Madison gang reunite for a weekend of summer camp-style chaos and midlife crisis bonding.

The jokes are broad. The plot is basically nonexistent. But the energy? Weirdly warm. You can tell these guys are just happy to hang out and get paid for it—and somehow, that comfort bleeds into the movie. It’s dumb, yes. But it’s also kinda cozy.

Not a classic. Not trying to be. Just some low-stakes, backyard barbecue nonsense with a side of nostalgia.

Let’s Be Cops (2014)

Two broke dudes dress up as cops for a costume party and accidentally become the most effective (and illegal) officers in LA. That’s Let’s Be Cops in a nutshell. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. play the leads with the kind of chaotic chemistry that turns nonsense into something genuinely fun.

The premise is wild, and the story leans hard into it. There’s a crime ring. There’s real danger. But most of it is just these two goofballs winging it in situations they have no business being in. It’s loud, stupid, and somehow still charming.

Think 21 Jump Street without the badges. Perfect hangover movie energy.

Outbreak (2024)

This one’s not for the squeamish. Outbreak is a tense, clinical thriller that drops you right into the chaos of a deadly viral epidemic—lab coats, government cover-ups, rising body counts, the whole deal. It’s technically fiction, but it’s close enough to reality that it hits a little too hard.

The film follows CDC researchers and military brass trying to stop a mysterious pathogen before it goes global. There’s a lot of tense meetings, hazmat suits, and desperate containment zones. Think Contagion with a side of Chernobyl dread. It’s not flashy, but it’s sharp—and the suspense is constant.

If you want something grounded and unsettling with just enough humanity to keep it from being a full-on panic spiral, this one delivers. Just maybe don’t watch it right before bed.

Just Go With It (2011)

This is peak “lie turns into vacation” rom-com chaos. Just Go With It stars Adam Sandler as a plastic surgeon who ropes in his assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend she’s his ex-wife… all so he can keep lying to a woman he barely knows. Naturally, it leads to a luxury trip to Hawaii and a lot of fake family hijinks.

It’s ridiculous. But also? It’s kind of fun. Sandler and Aniston have legit chemistry, and Nicole Kidman randomly shows up in full chaos mode. The jokes are broad, but the tropical backdrop and goofy energy make it work. It’s not smart—but it doesn’t need to be.

This is the cinematic equivalent of a poolside piña colada. You already know where it’s going. You’re just here for the ride.

We’re the Millers (2013)

Fake family. Real trouble. We’re the Millers sends Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston across the Mexican border pretending to be wholesome tourists—while actually smuggling a massive stash of weed. Emma Roberts and Will Poulter round out the crew, and every awkward family moment gets pushed to absolute extremes.

There’s a tarantula incident. A “you know what, let’s kiss for practice” scene. And a running joke about fake parenting that somehow never gets old. It’s raunchy, fast, and surprisingly heartfelt in the final stretch. Everyone gets their moment, but Poulter kind of steals the whole thing with one of the funniest cringe monologues ever.

It’s a road trip movie for people who don’t do road trips. Messy, loud, and hard not to enjoy.

Rio (2011)

This one’s a full-on vibe. Rio is bright, bouncy, and bursting with music from the first scene. Jesse Eisenberg voices Blu, a domesticated blue macaw who finds himself in Rio de Janeiro trying to figure out how to fly—and how to survive outside his cushy life. Anne Hathaway plays his sassy, wild counterpart Jewel, and their chemistry is surprisingly sweet.

What sets this apart is the atmosphere. The animation pops. The samba beats are everywhere. And the story, while predictable, is packed with fun side characters, clever gags, and just enough heart to make it stick.

Great for kids. Even better if you’re dreaming of a vacation.

Boys on the Side (1995)

This one’s a quieter kind of road trip movie—less comedy, more catharsis. Boys on the Side follows three very different women as they cross the country and build something like a family along the way. Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker lead with performances that feel lived-in and vulnerable.

It deals with abuse, illness, queerness, and grief without turning into a sob-fest. Instead, it moves gently, finding real moments in between the big ones. It’s funny where it counts, but not afraid to break your heart either. The music’s great. The vibe is pure ‘90s indie drama.

If you missed this one back in the day, it’s worth a look. Still honest. Still powerful.

And That’s a Wrap

That’s ten Hulu picks that actually give you something to vibe with—whether it’s superhero origin stories (Iron Man), tropical rom-com chaos (Just Go With It), or road trips that hit harder than expected (Boys on the Side). Some are ridiculous. Some are tender. All of them are worth your time.

You’ve got laughs (Grown Ups, Let’s Be Cops), suspense (Skincare, Outbreak), and more than one surprise if you’re paying attention. This isn’t background noise—it’s “oh wait, this is actually good” territory.

So if your queue’s been feeling a little stale lately, consider it refreshed. You’re welcome.
