10 Best New Movies Coming To Hulu In July 2026

July is shaping up to be a brutal month wherever you’re based, and honestly, the only thing I want to do is hide out in my apartment with the AC blasting. If you’re in the same boat, Hulu has put together a solid collection of movies arriving on July 1 to get us through the humidity. I’ve spent the morning digging through the list, and it’s a solid mix—nothing that’s going to win any prestige awards, but definitely enough to keep you occupied when you’re avoiding the sun.

I’m already planning to circle back to Everything Everywhere All At Once as soon as it hits the platform on July 3. It’s rare to find a movie that manages to be that chaotic and genuinely funny without completely falling apart, and it’s definitely one of the few recent movies that holds up on a second or third watch. It’s the kind of high-energy distraction you need when you’re too exhausted to deal with anything too heavy.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I’m strangely ready to dive back into the Twilight saga. It’s been years since I’ve thought about Forks, but there is something about that specific brand of mid-2000s angst that hits perfectly for a mid-summer binge. It’s not good cinema in the traditional sense, but it is excellent background noise for when you want to turn your brain off for a few hours.

Beyond those, there’s a little bit of everything—from the inevitable re-watch of Titanic to some sharper, more cynical stuff like Bodies Bodies Bodies. I’ve waded through the filler so you don’t have to; here are the 10 movies coming to Hulu this July that are actually worth taking up space on your watchlist.

Titanic (1997)

James Cameron’s Titanic is more than just a box office titan; it is a cultural touchstone. The tragic, sweeping romance between Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) remains as visually stunning and emotionally devastating as it was nearly 30 years ago.

Whether you are revisiting the ship’s fateful journey or seeing it for the first time, its status as a peak must-watch blockbuster is undeniable. It’s the kind of massive production that reminds you why people actually go to the movies in the first place.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)

Arriving on July 3, this Oscar-sweeping multiverse masterpiece is arguably the most inventive film of its decade. Michelle Yeoh delivers an electric, career-defining performance as Evelyn Wang, a woman navigating taxes, family drama, and the literal infinite collapse of the multiverse.

It manages to be a rollicking action flick, a hilarious absurdist comedy, and a deeply moving family drama all at once. If you missed it in theaters, this is the one to prioritize for your July watch.

The Complete Twilight Saga

If you have been looking for the ultimate rainy-day (or summer-heat) binge, look no further. All five films—Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the Breaking Dawn duology—are landing on the service simultaneously.

Re-experiencing the phenomenon that defined the late 2000s and early 2010s is the perfect nostalgic escape for those who want to fall back into the world of Forks, vampires, and werewolves. It’s peak background viewing. There’s a reason that, much like vampires, this franchise refuses to die.

Interstellar (2014)

Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic is the crème de la crème in scale and emotion. As Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) travels through a wormhole to save humanity, the movie balances hard science fiction concepts with a poignant, grounded story about the bond between a father and his daughter.

Combined with Hans Zimmer’s legendary score, Interstellar is an essential experience for any fan of mind-bending cinema. It’s loud, long, and takes over your entire living room.

The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)

Martin Scorsese’s high-energy biopic chronicling the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort is three hours of pure, unhinged excess. Featuring a manic, career-best performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, the movie gets 10 stars for pacing, humor, and satire.

It is a wild, cynical, and undeniably entertaining look at the darker side of American greed that feels just as sharp today as it did upon release. Bonus: You won’t find any apologies for bad behavior.

Moonlight (2016)

On the opposite side of The Wolf of Wall Street spectrum is Moonlight. Arriving on July 3, this is a far less noisy, utterly profound, and deeply beautiful movie that follows its protagonist, Chiron, across three defining chapters of his life.

Directed by Barry Jenkins, Moonlight is an Oscar winner that trades traditional blockbuster bombast for intimacy and raw emotional honesty. It is a rare, life-affirming piece of cinema that will stay with you long after the credits roll. If you want something that lingers, this is the pick.

Iron Man (2008)

Revisit the spark that ignited the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Robert Downey Jr.’s charismatic, improvisation-heavy performance as Tony Stark remains the gold standard for superhero casting.

Even with nearly two decades of superhero movies following it, the original Iron Man holds up remarkably well as a grounded, sharp-witted standalone action-adventure. It’s easily the most focused entry in the franchise.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014)

As the Planet of the Apes franchise continues to thrive, it is worth looking back at the high-water mark of the modern trilogy. Dawn is a stunning example of performance-capture technology, but more importantly, it is a complex, Shakespearean tale of war, politics, and survival.

It is a gripping, tense blockbuster that treats its primate characters with just as much depth as its human ones. This July, a trip down the ape/rabbit hole makes for a seriously satisfying watch.​​​​​​​

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

Landing on July 3, this razor-sharp satirical horror-comedy is perfect for a summer movie night with friends. When a group of wealthy 20-somethings stuck in a mansion during a hurricane decide to play a party game, things go wrong in the most hilarious—and bloody—ways imaginable.

It is a biting, modern critique of Gen-Z culture that is as fun as it is suspenseful. It’s exactly the kind of mean movie that feels better on a Friday night.​​​​​​​

Dirty Dancing (1987)

Maybe it’s just me, but I refuse to believe the words “nobody puts Baby in a corner” have lost their swoon-worthy touch. The quintessential summer romance returns to streaming this July.

With its iconic soundtrack, unmatched chemistry between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, and a heartwarming story of self-discovery, Dirty Dancing is a timeless classic that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. Whether you’re here for the choreography or just the nostalgia, it’s one of those rare comfort movies that never really gets old.
