BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10

“Eleven” (2003)

In “Elf,” Will Ferrell plays Buddy, a human raised as one of their own by Santa’s elves. He came to the North Pole after crawling into Santa’s sack as a baby in an orphanage and always assuming he was just a big elf. One day, however, Papa Elf (Bob Newhart) informs Buddy that his biological parents are the humans Walter Hobbs (James Caan) and Susan Wells and that his mother gave him up for adoption shortly before his death.

So Buddy travels to New York City to meet his father, who runs a children’s book publishing company and has no idea that he has a son who thinks he’s an elf. Once Buddy is in NYC, shenanigans ensue in a classic fish-out-of-water comedy. If you haven’t seen it yet or haven’t seen it in a while, be sure to check out one of the most popular Christmas films of this century.

“No Way Up” (2024)

There are movies about airplane disasters and then there are thriller movies set in water. But No Way Up is both, and you’ll never leave your seatbelt unbuckled on a plane again after watching the trailer.

This survival thriller stars Sophie McIntosh as Ava, a politician’s daughter who travels to Cabo for a vacation with her boyfriend (Jeremias Amoore) and a few others. But the plane hits a bird in mid-flight and crashes into the Pacific Ocean, leaving the two stranded underwater. Luckily, Ava’s personal bodyguard Brandon (Colm Meaney) is also on board. Will he be enough help to get her to safety? Or will the arrival of a great white shark doom them all?

“A Sudden Fall of Christmas” (2024)

In “Cuckoo,” Hunter Schafer plays Gretchen, a teenager who moves to the German Alps with her father (Marton Csokas) and his family after her mother dies. Her father wants to build a new hotel owned by the mysterious Mr. King (Dan Stevens), but things quickly take a disturbing turn when guests start vomiting and her half-sister Alma (Mila Lieu) starts having seizures.

Critics’ reviews were mostly positive, but audience reviews were more mixed. Still, it seems like Schafer and Stevens are receiving near-universal praise for their performances, even if the film itself isn’t as coherent as it could be.
