Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Hulu | August 10-16, 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 10-16, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
1. The Monkey (2025)
Evil has a funny way of winding back around.
Theo James and Elijah Wood lead this Stephen King adaptation about twin brothers who find their dad’s old wind-up monkey in the attic… and accidentally unleash a wave of gruesome deaths. Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) directs with just the right mix of creepy and absurd, while James Wan produces (so yeah, you know the kills are going to be inventive). If you like your horror bloody, bizarre, and just a little cheeky—this one’s a must.
2. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.
Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly is still the blueprint for terrifying bosses everywhere. Anne Hathaway’s Andy starts out as the ultimate fish out of water at a high-fashion magazine, only to discover that ambition has a price. It’s glamorous, quotable, and still delivers that delicious mix of awe and dread with every icy “That’s all.”
3. The Amateur (2025)
When the system fails you, go rogue.
Rami Malek plays a CIA codebreaker whose wife is killed in a terrorist attack—only for the agency to shrug. So, naturally, he takes matters into his own hands. Think Bourne with more hacking and fewer quips, plus Laurence Fishburne and Rachel Brosnahan adding gravitas. It’s tense, methodical, and way more personal than your average spy thriller.
4. William Tell (2024)
Freedom isn’t given—it’s taken.
Claes Bang stars as the legendary archer in this sweeping medieval rebellion tale. The Austrian Empire wants Switzerland, but Tell’s not about to let them have it without a fight. With Ben Kingsley and Jonathan Pryce in the mix, this is pure old-school historical epic energy—battlefields, betrayals, and one very famous shot with a crossbow.
5. The Other Woman (2014)
Revenge is a dish best served in stilettos.
Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton join forces when they realize they’re all dating the same guy (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). What follows is a revenge comedy packed with slapstick chaos, tropical getaways, and the kind of over-the-top schemes that only work in a movie. It’s ridiculous in the best way.
6. Pretty Woman (1990)
Big mistake. Huge.
Julia Roberts and Richard Gere headline this fairy-tale romance about a wealthy businessman and a sex worker who change each other’s lives over one whirlwind week. The chemistry? Off the charts. The outfits? Iconic. The ending? Pure rom-com gold.
7. Practical Magic (1998)
Sisterhood is powerful—especially if you can hex people.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman play the Owens sisters, trying to live normal lives despite their magical heritage. When a toxic boyfriend turns up dead, they turn to some dangerous spells… and things get messy fast. Moody, romantic, and a little spooky—it’s basically autumn in movie form.
8. Click (2006)
Fast-forwarding life sounds great—until it doesn’t.
Adam Sandler finds a magical remote that lets him skip all the boring stuff… and accidentally skips the good stuff, too. It’s silly and sentimental in equal measure, with Christopher Walken as the mysterious “salesman” who kicks off the chaos. Warning: the ending might make you cry, even if you don’t want to admit it.
9. Locked (2025)
The car is the killer.
Bill Skarsgård plays a thief who breaks into an SUV—only to get trapped by its owner, played with icy menace by Anthony Hopkins. What follows is a claustrophobic game of survival where escape isn’t just unlikely, it’s impossible. One location. Two incredible actors. Endless tension.
10. The Proposal (2009)
Fake love, real sparks.
Sandra Bullock’s icy book editor forces Ryan Reynolds’ assistant to marry her so she can avoid deportation. Cue awkward family visits, comedic mishaps, and Betty White stealing every scene she’s in. It’s peak rom-com comfort food.
And That’s a Wrap
From killer toys and medieval uprisings to fake fiancés and magical sisters, Hulu’s lineup this week covers every mood. Want scares? The Monkey and Locked will have you on edge. Craving a comfort rewatch? Pretty Woman, The Devil Wears Prada, and The Proposal have you covered. Need a shot of action? The Amateur and William Tell bring the adrenaline. Pick your vibe, grab your snacks, and let Hulu take it from there.
