The 30 Best Movies On Hulu (January 2025)

Hulu’s best movies of January 2025 show that the platform is kicking the new year off with a lot of great viewing options. Hulu has grown into one of the biggest streaming platforms around, thanks largely to its robust television offerings, which include acclaimed series like Shōgun and The Bear. However, the platform also offers subscribers a large movie library with classic movies, new releases, and even some Hulu-exclusive options.

2025 could be a big year for Hulu’s original movies. The success of Prey has led to the first Hulu-exclusive franchise as a new Predator movie is on the way in the new year. However, this month also offers a lot of great options. From the much-talked-about horror movie Cuckoo to the buzzworthy Kate Winslet performance in Lee to the 90s action classic Speed, there is something for everyone among the best movies on Hulu in January 2025.
