‘The Monkey’ & 9 Other Movies Atop Hulu’s Most-Watched List This Week

This week’s Hulu top 10 is a fun mashup of buzzy new thrillers and can’t-miss comfort watches. You’ve got fresh genre jolts rubbing shoulders with evergreen rom-coms, plus a historical epic to round out the mix. It’s the kind of lineup that makes scrolling feel almost as satisfying as pressing play.

Below, we’re counting down the titles exactly as they appear on the weekly chart—starting at #10 and working our way to #1. Expect quick snapshots of why each pick is popping right now, along with what kind of movie night it’s best for.

‘The Proposal’ (2009)

Romantic-comedy royalty rides again. ‘The Proposal’ pairs Sandra Bullock’s fearsome book editor with Ryan Reynolds’ put-upon assistant in a fake-fiancé fiasco that keeps escalating—in the boardroom, at the family home, and everywhere in between. It’s fizzy, flirty, and endlessly quotable, the kind of rewatch where you can practically recite the punchlines before they land

Under the banter sits a sneaky-softhearted story about control, vulnerability, and choosing your person—even when that choice begins as a scheme. It’s a go-to when you want a crowd-pleaser that rewards both first-timers and comfort-rewatchers alike.

‘Locked’ (2025)

Claustrophobia meets cat-and-mouse in ‘Locked’, a one-location thriller that pits Bill Skarsgård’s desperate thief against Anthony Hopkins’ meticulous tormentor. The setup is simple—break into the wrong luxury car, get trapped by its owner—but the head games and escalating traps keep the tension ratcheted tight

With Hopkins savoring every chilly line and Skarsgård selling the panic and persistence, this one scratches the itch for a sleek, mean, single-sitting suspense ride. Perfect when you want white-knuckle stakes without ever leaving the driver’s seat.

‘Click’ (2006)

High-concept comedy with a gut punch, ‘Click’ starts as a wish-fulfillment romp—what if a universal remote could fast-forward past life’s annoyances?—and morphs into a surprisingly moving reminder not to sleepwalk through the moments that matter. Adam Sandler swings from broad gags to unexpected pathos, aided by Christopher Walken’s enigmatic scene-stealer.

It’s a time-skipping fable that’s aged into a different kind of comfort watch: still goofy, still glossy, but carrying a message that lands harder the older you are. Bring tissues… and maybe call your parents afterward.

‘Practical Magic’ (1998)

Whimsy, witchcraft, and women finding their power—’Practical Magic’ remains a fall-feels favorite year-round. The sisterly chemistry, small-town gossip, and kitchen-table potions add up to a cozy fantasy where love spells and family curses mix with moonlit margaritas

Beyond the velvet-and-candles vibe, it’s about healing old wounds and choosing the life you want, not the one you inherited. If your ideal movie night blends romance, humor, and a dash of midnight magic, this one’s your potion.

‘Pretty Woman’ (1990)

Few rom-coms have the gravitational pull of ‘Pretty Woman’. It’s star charisma distilled—Julia Roberts’ effervescence meets Richard Gere’s cool restraint—and a reminder that meet-cutes don’t get more iconic than a chance encounter on Hollywood Boulevard

Underneath the fairy-tale makeover beats a story about dignity, boundaries, and two people learning to speak each other’s language. The wardrobe is legendary, the chemistry undeniable, and the emotional payoff still sparkles.

‘The Other Woman’ (2014)

Friendship is the best revenge in ‘The Other Woman’, which turns a love-triangle meltdown into a raucous buddy comedy. Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton make a chaotic, candy-colored trio as they compare notes, join forces, and plot payback

It’s fizzy wish-fulfillment—think elaborate pranks and bold wardrobe energy—with just enough sweetness to keep the laughs from feeling mean-spirited. When you want something mischievous that champions solidarity over sulking, queue this up.

‘William Tell’ (2024)

‘William Tell’ reimagines the Swiss folk hero as a flinty, large-scale historical adventure filled with oppression, defiance, and a very famous apple. Sweeping vistas and old-world politics set the stage for a fight against empire that feels both mythic and muscular

If you’re craving a straight-ahead epic—cloaks, clashing steel, and the stubborn spark of rebellion—this delivers the goods with sturdy craft and classical storytelling. It’s a big-canvas change-up from the week’s comedies and thrillers.

‘The Amateur’ (2025)

In ‘The Amateur’, a brilliant CIA codebreaker steps out from behind a keyboard after tragedy forces his hand. What follows is a globe-trotting, pressure-cooker escalation as an everyman leverages intellect and nerve while institutions drag their feet

Taut training beats, contested loyalties, and a crack supporting cast give the story grit without sacrificing momentum. It’s engineered for a Friday-night adrenaline fix that still lets you chew on the moral gray zones afterward.

‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (2006)

Fashion is war and deadlines are blood in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, the office comedy that doubled as a cultural reset. Meryl Streep’s glacial editor, Anne Hathaway’s hustling assistant, and a closet full of capital-F Fits made this a quotable juggernaut

Beyond the stilettos and snark, it’s a sharp look at ambition, boundaries, and the cost of entry into a glamorous machine. Whether you’re here for the makeover montage or the life-choice reckoning, it remains endlessly rewatchable.

‘The Monkey’ (2025)

The week’s top slot goes to ‘The Monkey’, a Stephen King adaptation that turns a cursed wind-up toy into a generational nightmare. Osgood Perkins threads dark humor through the dread as estranged brothers reckon with a past that refuses to stay buried

It’s grisly, moody, and crowd-conversation-friendly—the kind of horror that invites “did you catch that?” post-watch debriefs. If you want something new that still feels like a campfire tale passed down in whispers, this is your pick.
