Hulu's top movies this week include a must-watch biopic, a potentially underrated sci-fi action flick starring Chris Pratt and an iconic Western.
Like all the best streaming services, Hulu has a deep content library that's constantly changing. So to ensure you're on top of the latest and greatest, it features a top 15 shows and movies collection that shows you what’s trending on the platform.
While having this list is great, you might want to know which of the movies on it are actually worth your time.
Lucky for you, I've done the research and found three movies this week worth checking out. Leading the pack is "A Complete Unknown," the Oscar-nominated, Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet. But there are still a few others worth considering.
So without further ado, here are the top movies worth watching this week in Hulu’s top 15. If you're looking for more to watch, check out our full guide to everything coming to Hulu in April 2025.
This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Wednesday, April 9.
Top picks
'A Complete Unknown' (2024)
This Bob Dylan biopic was one of the biggest losers at this year's Academy Awards. But don't let that stop you from watching "A Complete Unknown."
The movie stars Timothée Chalamet as the legendary musician as he transitions into one of the most famous musicians on Earth. But it's not just a star-making turn for him. Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro both earned Oscar nominations for their performances as Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, respectively.
While there's certainly some drama in the story, this movie is a jukebox musical. There are 23 songs performed throughout the 141-minute film, most of which are performed by Chalamet as Dylan.
My favorite performance, though, is Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash. The movie really perks up when he arrives on screen to perform "Big River,” and frankly, I wish we had gotten more from him.

'The Tomorrow War' (2021)
"The Tomorrow War" stars Chris Pratt as Dan Forester, a former Green Beret turned biology teacher.
Dan thought he was done with conflict, but when a group of soldiers from 2051 arrives and stuns the world with the news that, in their timeline, humanity is on the brink of extinction due to an alien invasion, Dan finds himself drafted into combat.
Does this sci-fi movie belong in the pantheon of great sci-fi movies like "Star Wars"?
Probably not, but it's a fine movie to put on if you're just looking to watch something. While critics weren't the biggest fans, audiences enjoyed it according to review-aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

'Tombstone' (1993)
"Tombstone" might not be the most critically beloved Western, but it's certainly got its fans. The 1993 classic features a star-studded cast, including the late Val Kilmer in an iconic role as Doc Holliday.
It stars Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp, Sam Elliott and Bill Paxton as Wyatt's brothers Virgil and Morgan. These three, along with Kilmer's Doc Holliday, are tasked with helping rid the area of the "Cowboys," a violent gang of criminals running rampant and causing mayhem.
This drama is based on real events from the Wild West in 1880s Southeast Arizona, in and around the town of Tombstone, so there's a historical element to the film. If you haven't seen "Tombstone" before, there's never been a better time.
