Hulu top 10 movies — here's the 3 worth watching right now

Hulu Russell Crowe Marcus Burnett FBI

JUST GO WITH IT 2011 Sony Pictures Releasing film with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler.

Another week, another new top 10 movies from Hulu. The streaming service puts out a new list of top 15 shows and movies each week, dropping on Tuesdays and then updating throughout the week. And while August is bringing tons of new shows and movies to Hulu, we're still at the tail end of July so those new titles won't make the list just yet.

After going through what's popular this week, we've narrowed down Hulu's top 15 to three movies from the top 10 that stand out from the rest. This week, the biggest change from the past few weeks is the addition of "Sleeping Dogs," a new movie starring Russell Crowe as an ex-homicide detective with memory loss trying to solve a murder he can't remember. An old Adam Sandler comedy also enters the fray.

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, August 1.

BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10

'Sleeping Dogs' (2024)

While Russell Crowe's A-list movie star days might be behind him, he remains a prolific actor. And in this 2024 crime thriller, he's joined by some serious star power in the form of Karen Gillan.

"Sleeping Dogs" stars Crowe as retired homicide detective Roy Freeman, who suffers from Alzheimer's. But when a criminal he put in prison could be wrongfully executed for murder, Freeman feels he has no choice but to take up the case. Come for the twists and turns, stay for the Russell Crowe performance.

'Bad Boys for Life' (2020)

"Bad Boys: Ride or Die" might have just hit paid video-on-demand (PVOD) streaming services, but you don't need to pay extra to watch its 2020 sequel. "Bad Boys for Life" stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprising their roles as the combative but brotherly Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. They face a new threat from a ruthless cartel leader, Isabel Aretas (Kate del Castillo), and her son Armando (Jacob Scipio), and must thwart the baddies' plans while dealing with the existing issues in their personal relationship.

The third movie in the "Bad Boys" franchise has been hanging around the Hulu top 10 for weeks now, so there's a good chance you've seen it by now. But it's undoubtedly one worth watching if you haven't yet.

'Just Go With It' (2011)

Adam Sandler movies are often comfort food. They're fun, they rarely go on longer than they need to and for a while now they've often been an excuse for "The Sandman" to go on a vacation somewhere nice on a production company's dime.

In "Just Go With It," our vacation destination is Hawaii, as we watch Danny Maccabee (Sandler) try to cement a relationship with the girl of his dreams (Brooklyn Decker). There's just one problem — she found his fake wedding ring and he can't tell her it's a prop he uses to pick up women. To solve this problem, he decides to convince her on a Hawaiian vacation that his assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) is really his soon-to-be-ex so that he doesn't come off like a total pig.
