27. Casino (1995) – August 1
Martin Scorsese returned to the crime genre with Casino, a sprawling epic about power, greed, and betrayal set against the glittering backdrop of 1970s Las Vegas.

The film is long but completely absorbing throughout.
Streaming on Hulu starting August 1, Casino is the kind of cinematic experience that reminds you why this director is considered one of the all-time greats.
28. Men in Black (1997) – August 1
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have one of the greatest buddy-cop chemistry pairings in movie history, and Men in Black remains a masterclass in how to blend comedy and science fiction effortlessly. The film introduced a brilliantly creative mythology about secret agents policing alien life on Earth, and it did so with wit and charm that never feels forced.
The sequel and trilogy that followed never quite recaptured this original spark.
All three Men in Black films arrive on Hulu August 1, making it the perfect trilogy binge to kick off the month.
29. Men in Black II (2002) – August 1
Men in Black II brings back the dynamic duo of Agents J and K for another alien-busting adventure, this time dealing with a villainous extraterrestrial played with campy delight by Lara Flynn Boyle. The film leans harder into comedy than the original, which works in some scenes and falls flat in others, but the chemistry between Smith and Jones remains undeniable.
It is a fun, breezy watch that does not overstay its welcome.
Part of the full trilogy arriving on Hulu August 1, it bridges the gap nicely between the original and the third installment.
30. Men in Black 3 (2012) – August 1
Men in Black 3 surprised audiences by actually being a worthy entry in the franchise, thanks largely to Josh Brolin’s eerily accurate portrayal of a young Agent K. The time-travel storyline takes J back to the 1960s, and the film uses that setting cleverly to explore the relationship between the two agents in a surprisingly emotional way.
The ending genuinely caught many viewers off guard with its emotional resonance.
Wrapping up the trilogy on Hulu August 1, it is a satisfying conclusion that ends the series on a high note.
31. Tropic Thunder (2008) – August 1
Tropic Thunder is a fearless Hollywood satire about a group of pampered actors who accidentally get dropped into a real war zone while filming a movie. Ben Stiller directs and stars alongside Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., who delivers one of the most talked-about comedic performances in modern cinema history.
The film’s willingness to mock the film industry from the inside gives it a sharp, knowing edge.
Streaming on Hulu August 1, it remains one of the funniest and most daring comedies of its era.
32. Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) – August 1
After a famously disastrous first trailer that sparked an internet meltdown over Sonic’s original design, the filmmakers went back and redesigned the character entirely, and the gamble paid off beautifully. The final film is a genuinely fun adventure that works for kids and adults alike, with Jim Carrey delivering a hilariously over-the-top performance as the villain Dr. Robotnik.
It is far better than most people expected, and that surprise makes it even more enjoyable.
Arriving on Hulu August 1, it is a great choice for a family movie night early in the month.
33. X (2022) – August 3
Ti West’s X is a love letter to 1970s slasher films that manages to be genuinely scary while also saying something thoughtful about art, ambition, and the male gaze. A group of filmmakers head to a remote Texas farm to shoot an adult film, and things go horrifically wrong when the elderly property owners take a disturbing interest in their guests.
The craftsmanship on display is extraordinary for a modern horror film.
The complete X trilogy arrives on Hulu August 3, starting with the film that kicked off one of horror’s most exciting recent franchises.
34. Pearl (2022) – August 3
Pearl is a prequel to X that travels back to 1918 and explores the origins of the terrifying old woman from the first film. Mia Goth co-wrote the screenplay and gives a performance so committed and raw that it earned her significant awards attention.
Shot in vibrant Technicolor that evokes classic Hollywood musicals, the film uses its visual beauty to make the horror feel even more disturbing by contrast.
Streaming as part of the X trilogy on Hulu August 3, Pearl stands completely on its own as a remarkable piece of filmmaking.
35. MaXXXine (2024) – August 3
MaXXXine concludes Ti West’s trilogy by jumping forward to 1980s Hollywood, where the sole survivor of the events in X is trying to make it as an actress while a mysterious killer stalks the city. Mia Goth anchors the film with a ferocious energy that makes her character impossible to look away from.
The neon-soaked Los Angeles setting is rendered with incredible stylistic confidence.
Completing the trilogy on Hulu August 3, MaXXXine is a thrilling and visually dazzling cap to one of horror’s best recent series.
36. All of Us Strangers (2023) – August 22
All of Us Strangers is one of the most emotionally devastating and beautiful films in recent years, following a lonely screenwriter who begins a romance with his mysterious neighbor while also reconnecting with the ghosts of his deceased parents. Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal share a chemistry that feels genuinely rare, and the film handles grief and love with extraordinary delicacy.
Director Andrew Haigh has created something truly unforgettable here.
Arriving on Hulu August 22, this one will leave you needing a quiet moment after the credits finish rolling.
