Hulu has evolved into a major player in the streaming world, offering a vast collection of movies, including R-rated content, acclaimed indies, and big-name blockbusters. The platform's exclusive streaming home for Searchlight Pictures' output and 20th Century Studios content has carved out a niche as a destination for smart horror, sci-fi, and thrillers. This is evident in the Alien, Predator, and Omen franchises, which are all housed on Hulu, alongside The Hand That Cradles remake and Smile. The service has also produced a steady stream of solid feature-length exclusives like Palm Springs and Fresh.

Hulu's movie catalog is a treasure trove of diverse titles, including originals and licensed flicks. To help users navigate this vast collection, a list of the best movies on Hulu has been compiled, featuring a range of genres and styles. The list includes gangster movies, time-travel capers, and road trips, as well as sci-fi and horror classics.

Some standout titles on the list include BenDavid Grabinski's comedy, Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, which combines a gangster movie with a time-travel caper and a road trip. The film follows mobster Nick and his crime world buddy Mike as they revisit and alter key moments from their past using a mysterious time-bending device. Another notable title is Predator: Badlands, a coming-of-age buddy movie that pits the sharp-toothed alien against a tough-as-nails Comanche warrior.

Other notable titles on the list include The Godfather, a sprawling mafia psychodrama that has lost none of its brutal power, and Sly Lives!, a biopic charting the life of funk legend Sly Stone.
