Regardless of the mood you’re in or the genre you’re looking for, Hulu is sure to satisfy all of your streaming needs with the simple click of a button. From animated musical comedies like The Bob’s Burgers Movie to thought-provoking documentaries such as Aftershock, the platform offers something great for everyone.

As the Fourth of July is right around the corner, viewers can celebrate the patriotic holiday by watching the Will Smith blockbuster hit Independence Day and ring in the day with the juggernaut flick. If comedy is your go-to favorite genre, Hulu is jam-packed full of both new and old titles like the upcoming satire Not Okay and the beloved Will Ferrell staple Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. These are the best movies coming to Hulu in July.

9 The Princess

Joey King headlines the dark fantasy action comedy The Princess, in which she portrays a headstrong princess who refuses to marry her conniving suitor and is subsequently kidnapped and locked away in a tower in her family’s sprawling castle; when she discovers that her sociopathic husband-to-be will stop at nothing to acquire her father’s throne and all the power that goes with it, The Princess sets out to protect her loved ones at all costs.

The female-driven action flick features plenty of thrilling fight sequences and at its heart is an empowering underdog tale, with King wanting audiences to know that her heroine “has confidence, but she does not know that she can pull it off. She’s taking it one step at a time. She’s overwhelmed and she’s tired. If you trust yourself and bet on yourself, you will be alright in the end.”

8 Minamata

Based on the Aileen Mioko Smith and W. Eugene Smith novel of the same name, the 2020 drama Minamata chronicles the efforts of the latter renowned American photographer as he sets out to document the shocking effects of mercury poisoning in the coastal city of Minamata, Japan in 1971. In the gripping Minamata, Johnny Depp brilliantly portrays Smith, who is given a final assignment by Life Magazine to expose the horrors and gross negligence committed by the chemical company Chisso. The celebrated photojournalist makes it his mission to connect with the ravaged community and unmask their devastating reality for the world to see, going head-to-head with the powerful corporation at fault for the outbreak of the debilitating disease.

7 Independence Day

What better way to ring in the Fourth of July than by watching the Will Smith 1996 blockbuster extravaganza Independence Day, with the sci-fi flick centering on an unlikely group of people who join forces in the Nevada desert to fight back against ruthless aliens determined to invade and completely destroy Earth. Smith famously stars as Captain Steven Hiller, a Marine F/A-18 pilot who courageously battles to protect his family and humanity from the malevolent aliens, teaming up with characters like President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman) and satellite engineer David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) to combat the creatures.

6 Not Okay

Zoey Deutch and Dylan O’Brien star in the comedy satire Not Okay, which follows misguided aspiring writer Danni Sanders as she fakes an Instagram-worthy trip to Paris in hopes of attracting fame, friends and some highly-coveted social media clout.

With a dynamite cast including Kirsten Dunst, Bonnie Hunt, and Jonathan Hyde, the iconic ‘90s classic was a box office hit and has gone on to become a Williams staple amongst fans of the late and great performer.

3 Aftershock

Paula Eiselt and Tonya Lewis Lee directed the poignant 2022 documentary Aftershock, chronicling the heartrending actions and efforts of Bruce McIntyre and Omari Maynard, two fathers who lost their partners during childbirth due to medical negligence and preventable complications.

Aftershock had its worldwide premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, earning widespread acclaim from critics and receiving a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes; Variety declared that the filmmakers “deliver a vital and moving documentary that shows the lives behind shameful statistics.”

2 The Hater

In her feature debut, Joey Ally wrote, directed, and stars in the 2022 political satire The Hater, in which she portrays liberal environmentalist and speechwriter Dorothy Goodwin, who goes undercover as a Republican candidate in the Texas primary in order to make her old arch rival lose his chance at serving in the state legislature.

Featuring the additional talent of performers like Ian Harding, Bruce Dern, and Ali Larter, the satire is a refreshing political comedy that introduces endearing and relatable characters while accurately depicting the culture and political war raging within the United States. Ally’s impressive debut as both an actor and filmmaker was lauded by critics, with Movie Nation writing that the “cleverest thing about The Hater is the way it upends expectations just enough to keep things interesting and make you wonder 'How will Ally write her way out of this?' And then Ally manages just that."

1 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Comedy heavy-hitters Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Sacha Baron Cohen teamed up in 2006 to star in an Adam McKay movie, the 2006 sports comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, which follows the titular NASCAR superstar as his fame and fortune comes crashing down around him after French Formula One champion Jean Girard steals the spotlight from him. Bobby sets out to reclaim his power and honor both on and off the racetrack, challenging the driver in a race to decide who is NASCAR’s greatest talent. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was written by both Ferrell and McKay, with the duo having previously co-written Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy together and later joining forces for films like Step Brothers and The Other Guys. While they have since parted ways as creative collaborators, they left their mark in the comedy world with fun films like this.
