Triangle Of Sadness (2022)

When looking for some of the best movies on Hulu this month, one of the most acclaimed movies of the year will certainly draw the attention of many viewers. Triangle of Sadness is a 2023 Best Picture Oscar nominee and though not as popular as other nominees like Top Gun: Maverick, it ended up on a lot of “best of the year” lists and earned three Oscar nominations. The movie is a satire of the social hierarchy, following the crew and passengers of a luxury cruise.

Boston Strangler (2023)

There are a lot of great thrillers among the best movies on Hulu, but there’s a clear choice for those subscribers who a drawn mostly to crime stories based on true events. After the huge and controversial Netflix hit Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Hulu could see similar success with their movie retelling of Boston Strangler. While the movie deals with the infamous serial killer, it centers on the true story of reporters Loretta McLaughlin (Kiera Knightley) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) who defied the sexist limitations forced on them in their industry in the 1960s and helped connect these murders.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut (1982)

As much as Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic is seen as a sci-fi masterpiece, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which of the multiple Blade Runner cuts is the right one to see. The movie famously went through extensive edits before its theatrical release, but in the years since, there have been several attempts to restore the proper version of the movie. Blade Runner: The Final Cut is widely regarded by fans and Ridley Scott himself as the definitive version of the movie which stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a law enforcement officer hunting down renegade androids. From the iconic visuals to the thought-provoking story to Rutger Hauer’s layered performance, it is a classic every movie fan should see.

Watcher (2022)

Subscribers looking for some thriller movies on Hulu this month might enjoy the overlooked movie from last year, Watcher. Maika Monroe stars as a young woman who moves with her husband to Bucharest. After noticing a man watching them from the apartment across the road, she begins to suspect this unknown man is following her in her everyday life. While the movie might not break new ground in the genre, it looks to be a tense and gripping thriller with a lead performance from Monroe that gained considerable critical acclaim. It will keep audiences on the edge of their seats and perhaps encourage them to close the window curtains more often.

That Thing You Do! (1996)

Oscar-winning Hollywood icon Tom Hanks received mixed reviews and a Razzie nomination for his Elvis performance in 2022. However, one of the best movies on Hulu this month finds him playing a much more likable music manager in his directorial debut, That Thing You Do! The movie is a fictional account of a 1960s rock band from a small town who suddenly find themselves rocketing to fame with a hit song. Hanks is great in a supporting role as the savvy manager guiding the band’s journey, but he is even more impressive behind the camera, giving this charming period comedy a real energy and spirit that makes it endlessly enjoyable.

The Town (2010)

Before the release of Ben Affleck’s next directorial effort, Air, his second movie as a director is one of the best movies on Hulu in March.

There are also terrific performances from the cast which includes Blake Lively, Jon Hamm, and Jeremy Renner in an Oscar-nominated role.

The Shape Of Water (2017)

With the potential of Everything Everywhere All at Once winning Best Picture, it is a good time for Hulu subscribers to look back on one of the strangest Best Picture winners from several years ago. The Shape of Water is Guillermo del Toro’s fantasy romance movie about a mute janitor at a military facility who finds an ambitious creature being held captive and forms a bond with it. The movie is a strange and beautiful fairy tale that only del Toro can make, blending a fantasy world with real-world issues. It also features a tremendous cast that includes Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, and Michael Shannon.

Broken Arrow (1996)

Following John Travolta’s comeback in Pulp Fiction, the actor became a 90s action star and one of the era’s most underrated movies is on Hulu this month. Broken Arrow stars Travolta as a military pilot who goes rogue and steals a nuclear weapon with the plan to hold the United States hostage. It is then up to his former partner (Christian Slater) to stop his villainous plan. Directed by Hong Kong action legend John Woo, Broken Arrow is a stylized and wild ride with some fantastic set pieces. It also features a great villain performance from Travolta who seems to be having a blast in the role.
