The 10 Best Movies on Hulu in Australia [Updated October 2021]

Hulu has been in the industry for more than a decade now and over the years its service has improved amazingly and its popularity has grown exponentially. Over the years, it has proven itself to be a great competitor of other major streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+.

Hulu has been very popular because of the TV shows available over it like The Handmaid’s Tale, which has been a global hit. Yes, I called it a global hit despite the fact that the service is only available in the USA. That’s because you can still access the service in Australia from anywhere by using a VPN for Hulu.

On the other hand, its movies’ library is also pretty well sized. It has more than 2500 movies in its library, ranging from 90’s classics to the latest box-office releases. So, if you are looking to stream some of the best movies and you cannot find anything on Netflix or Disney+, then Hulu is the place you should crash into.

Palm Springs is a wonderful romantic comedy with its plot infused with sci-fi. It is a story of two strangers who are trapped in a time loop and they get to live the same day over and over again. Every morning, they wake up at Palm Springs at a wedding. I would not dive into any more details as it would ruin the fun.

The Painter and the Thief is a marvelous story of a young Czech artist and a Norwegian thief. The plot of the movie revolves around the inseparable bond between the painter and the thief who stole her paintings from Galleri Nobel in Oslo’s city center.

The Director of the movie, Benjamin Ree, starts to cover this unusual story after the thief is being invited by Barbora for a portrait. It is an unorthodox movie that covers the fact how one’s demons can connect to someone totally opposite.

IMDB Rating: 7.2/10

Creed II is the sequel of Creed, which was the sequel of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky series. The movie packs the exact same emotion and action that Sylvester Stallone has carried out in all of his sports-drama films. The storyline of Creed II takes a much higher emotional drive than its prequel.

Rocky Balboa constantly keeps reminding Creed why he shouldn’t fight Drago’s son in the first place, whereas Creed himself is ready to jump into the ring against him. One thing that I assure you is that if you loved Rocky movies, then you will de
