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.

The week has some great movies in the top 10. There's a new documentary about a rapper turned politician that's held steady in the top 10 this week. There's also a pair of comedies about taking justice into your own hands, including a hit from the film festival circuit that just about everyone loves.

So without further ado, here are the top picks worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 15. And don't forget to check out our guide to Hulu's top shows.

This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Thursday, November 21.

BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10

'The Honorable Shyne' (2024)

Moses “Shyne” Barrow was a rising star in the New York hip-hop scene. The protégé of the now infamous Sean Combs, his career was cut short after a nightclub shooting that resulted in his arrest, somewhat questionable conviction and ultimately deportation back to his home country of Belize in 2009 after serving nine years of his 10-year prison sentence.

After his deportation, Shyne continued to produce music. But he also began a transformation that included a formal conversion to Orthodox Judaism, a process he had begun during his prison sentence. This personal transformation continues today, with Shyne now an elected member of the Belize House of Representatives and Leader of the Opposition, a powerful role in the House. Watch "The Honorable Shyne" to examine the rise, fall and remarkable rise again of Shyne Barrow.

'Drugstore June' (2024)

"Drugstore June" stars Esther Povitsky (of "Dollface" fame) as June, an aspiring — but failing — influencer in a small town. After the pharmacy she works at is robbed, she decides to solve the crime herself. Will she be able to focus on the task at hand? Or will she be too focused on her parents trying to get her to move or on getting over her ex-boyfriend?

After watching the trailer, I think the mixed reviews this movie has been getting are probably accurate. But, "Drugstore June" is loaded with comedic acting talent, including Bobby Lee, Bill Burr and more. So if you want a fun, dumb movie, you could probably do much worse.

Honorable mention

'Thelma' (2024)

If you're looking for a fun new movie to watch, "Thelma" is an excellent choice. This comedy-drama stars June Squibb as Thelma, a wonderful grandmother who is one day scammed out of $10,000 by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson Danny (Fred Hechinger).

That's not stopping Thelma. Her family is panicking and panicked and the police are refusing to help, but this grandma's still got it. Sure, she's 93 and most of her friends are dead or gone. But she still has Ben, a friend Thelma has largely ignored since her late husband's death, and they've got a scooter. Don't miss "Thelma" and this adventure of one grandmother trying to get her money back.
