The best streaming services, including Hulu, come with deep content libraries. While that's great, because we get endless hours of TV shows and movies, it can be a bit of a struggle to figure out what to watch. Luckily, Hulu has a top 15 shows and movies collection that gives you a look at what’s trending on the platform.
After going through what's popular this week, we've narrowed down three of Hulu's current top 10 movies that stand out from the rest. "Kinds of Kindness," the latest movie from Yorgos Lanthimos starring Emma Stone, hit the top spot this week. That's not a huge surprise given the success the duo had with "Poor Things" just last year. Joining it in the top 10 is the latest "Planet of the Apes" movie and one of the best coming-of-age movies of all time, so it's a great selection of movies on Hulu this week.
So without further ado, here are the three movies worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 10 movies.
This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Thursday, Sept. 5.
BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10
'Kinds of Kindness' (2024)
Yorgos Lanthimos's follow-up to last year's hit movie "Poor Things" has finally arrived on streaming. Starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer, this movie is structured as three loosely connected stories, all tied together through a man with the initials R.M.F. (Lanthimos himself).
Each story is about an hour long and features the ensemble of talented actors taking on different roles. Most of the cast portrays a different character in each story, but some, like Schafer, only appear in one of the three stories. Others, like Qualley, play multiple characters. Don't miss this movie now that it's on Hulu.

'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' (2024)
This must be the billionth time I've written about "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" claiming a spot in the Hulu top 10. It essentially hasn't left the top 10 since it arrived on Hulu.
This latest installment of the "Planet of the Apes" reboot franchise is set generations after the rise of Caesar. Apes are now the dominant species and have been for some time, while humans either subjugated or left scavenging in the wild. One ape King, Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), has his sights set on further cementing his dominance over apes and humans alike. But when a young ape named Noa (Owen Teague) befriends a human scavenger Mae (Freya Allan), Proximus' plans are thrown into chaos.

'Superbad' (2007)
"Superbad" is up there with "Dazed and Confused" and "The Breakfast Club" as one of the greatest coming-of-age movies of all time. Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, it follows Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) as they make their way to one last party before college, where they hope to hook up with their respective crushes Jules (Emma Stone) and Becca (Martha MacIssac).
To achieve their goals though, they need alcohol, which means they need their friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) to buy some booze using his fake ID. The only problem there? The ID just has one name — McLovin and things get crazy after McLovin's attempt to buy beer goes awry. "Superbad" is hilarious from start to finish and, despite being nearly two decades old, still holds up as a classic. Don't miss it while it's on Hulu.
