Summer is a great time for movies, as Hollywood typically releases million-dollar blockbusters this season to get as many people into theaters as possible and rank for cash. But more importantly, people can come together to enjoy their favorite movies, and that couldn’t be easier with the rise of digital streaming services.
Hulu, in particular, is now home to many classic movies that are perfect for watching with family and friends this summer. Since there are so many compelling pictures to choose from, here is a list of the five best movies to stream this season.
Airplane! (1980)
I’m serious and don’t call me Shirley. Parody of plane crash movies like Zero hour! AND Airport 1975this iconic comedy follows a former fighter pilot haunted by his past who must get a plane full of people suffering from food poisoning to safety.
Every minute of this movie is filled with hysterical jokes and sight gags that are sure to make the audience laugh no matter how many times they watch the movie. All in all, Airplane! is a masterclass in comedy that everyone wants to see on their next summer movie night.
The Sandlot (1993)
This coming-of-age film breathes pure summer fun. Set in 1962, The Sandlot follows an awkward boy who befriends baseball-loving kids in his new neighborhood. Together, they get into all kinds of shenanigans, from wreaking havoc at the local swimming pool to playing against their rival team, all culminating in their heist to steal a prized Babe Ruth-autographed baseball from a monstrous dog.
Similar to The Goonies and Stephen King’s excellent adaptation Stand by Me, The Sandlot features a fun and relatable story about the struggles of growing up and the importance of friendship. Pretty much everyone has fond memories of spending their dog days with their friends, and this film strikes just the right balance of humor, nostalgia, and tender storytelling that makes it the cult classic it is today.
Bridesmaids (2011)
Weddings most commonly take place in the summer, which is also a good time to watch the modern comedy classic Bridesmaids. When a down-on-his-luck woman finds out that her best friend is engaged to her, she tries to give her and her bridesmaid friends the best time before the big day. However, her plans backfire in a hilariously bad way, as she accidentally gives them all food poisoning, she gets drunk and messy, and practically implodes every aspect of her life.
Despite following the titular girl group in their chaotic celebrations, Bridesmaids it’s mostly an in-depth examination of its protagonists’ self-destructive tendencies that shows how the only person who can provide more love and hate is yourself. However, the film features a breathtaking story and a formidable cast that gets the most out of every scene. However, it’s Melissa McCarthy’s Oscar-nominated performance as Megan that steals the show, making it a must-see rom-com for the ages.
X Men (2000)
With Deadpool 3set to bring Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine back from Fox’s superhero universe, now is an especially good time to revisit the historical comic book movie that brought him up. In a world where superpowered people are common and feared, mutants Wolverine and Rogue join Professor X’s titular team of heroes as they battle Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants for the fate of both humans and mutants.
While it may not fully embrace its source material or live up to the likes of SpidermanOR The Avengers2000s X-Men helped open the door for such comic book movies to dominate the cinematic landscape today. For those looking to break away from the standard Marvel formula, this film presents audiences with a thoughtful and emotional story and a fantastic cast of characters that remain among the best heroes and villains ever seen in cinemas.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Since Harrison Ford just set off on his latest journey as Indiana Jones The Quadrant of Destiny, audiences can look back on the character’s illustrious legacy with his first cinematic expedition. Created by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, Raiders of the Lost Ark follows Indy as he teams up with his old flame Marion to recover the long-lost Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can use its godlike power in their quest for world domination.
Indy may not be a textbook hero, but the world still fell in love with him with this sprawling blockbuster adventure with its captivating story and memorable action scenes. And after all this time, this film has not lost its ability to captivate and inspire the audience and remains the best Indiana Jones film in the series.
