New Hulu movies: the best films to stream in August 2023
These are our six top picks of all the new Hulu movies you can watch on the streaming service this August:
Notting Hill
Release date: August 1
Notting Hill is a heartwarming romcom that has all of the charm of a movie made in the UK in the late 90s. It’s about an ordinary bookshop owner called Will Thacker (Hugh Grant) who lives in Notting Hill in London. One day he quite literally bumps into famous Hollywood actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and although they’re from very different worlds they form a connection filled with humour, romance and lots of awkward moments.
The characters here are endearing, the dialogue is witty, London looks fun and lively, and it’s easy to see why this is one of the most beloved classics in the romcom genre.
The Pursuit of Happyness
Release date: August 1
The Pursuit of Happyness is an inspiring, and at times heartbreaking, biographical drama based on the true story of Chris Gardner who is portrayed brilliantly by Will Smith – seriously, you’ll be thinking about this performance long after the credits roll.
Set in the early 1980s, The Pursuit of Happyness follows Gardner’s story as a struggling salesman and devoted father to his young son Christopher (played by Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith). Facing financial hardships and tension at home, he takes an unpaid internship at a brokerage firm. This is a poignant and deeply moving story about determination, resilience and love that’s bound to appeal to all ages. It’s not an easy watch, but it is one we hope will make you feel stronger and capable of facing life’s obstacles afterwards.
The Intern
Release date: August 22
Looking for an easy watch this weekend? The Intern is a heartwarming comedy about 70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) who re-enters the world of work as an intern at an online fashion startup. That’s where he meets the ambitious and hard-working founder, Jules Ostin (played by Anne Hathaway). The pair form an unlikely bond and Jules learns to better balance her life with the help of Ben’s wisdom.
Don’t expect thrills here, The Intern is a fun and feel-good film that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face and convince you of the magic of intergenerational friendships.
Malignant
Release date: August 27
If you need a helping of horror, then we highly recommend Malignant. Directed by James Wan (of Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring fame), it follows the story of Madison Mitchell (Annabelle Wallis), a woman who has disturbing visions of gruesome murders. When the killings become real, Madison starts to uncover the shocking connection between the murders she sees and events in her own past.
Expect a scary and suspenseful journey with the twists and turns Wan’s work is famous for. If you’re a horror fan, Malignant is a must-watch. If you’re not cut out for jump scares, stick to this month’s romcom picks instead.
The Fault In Our Stars
Release date: August 31
The Fault in Our Stars is a powerful romantic drama that’s based on John Green’s bestselling novel of the same name. It’s about the touching love story of two teenagers, Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort). Both teens are cancer survivors, and they meet at a support group for young cancer patients. As they bond over their shared experiences, they form a deep connection.
Be warned, this is a deep and intense watch. But with its heartfelt performances, emotional depth, and tender exploration of the human spirit, we think it’s well worth adding to you must-see list.
Jurassic Park
Release date: August 31
Jurassic Park is a thrilling adventure movie directed by Steven Spielberg that’s pure fun for the whole family. It follows the story of billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) who creates a cloned dinosaur theme park on an isolated island. He invites a group of experts, including palaeontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil), paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), to visit before the grand opening and, as you might expect, things don’t quite go to plan.
This is the sort of movie that’s just as exciting on the tenth watch as it is on the first, so even if you’ve seen it before we highly recommend getting it on your watchlist. It also still stands in terms of slick writing, wonderful special effects and as a cautionary tale about the ethics of tech and science advances – a topic that’s just as important today as it was when it first came out in the 90s.
