BEST MOVIES IN THE HULU TOP 10
‘Bad Boys for Life’
"Bad Boys for Life" is the third movie in the "Bad Boys" franchise, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. It follows the duo as they face a new threat from a ruthless cartel leader, Isabel Aretas (Kate del Castillo), and her son Armando (Jacob Scipio). As they confront this deadly adversary, Mike and Marcus must deal with their own personal challenges and evolving friendship. If you’re into movies that blend action, comedy, and drama along with explosive sequences, then you’ll probably enjoy “Bad Boys for Life”. It also manages to pull off some heartfelt moments as the veteran cops team up with a younger, high-tech team called AMMO to take down their enemies and seek justice.

Now we’re throwing it back to a classic sci-fi action movie (which also stars Will Smith). "Independence Day" centers around a global alien invasion threatening to annihilate humanity. As the extraterrestrial forces launch devastating attacks on major cities around the world, a group of people, including a fearless fighter pilot named Captain Steven Hiller (Smith), David Levinso, who is a computer genius (Jeff Goldblum), and the President of the United States (Bill Pullman), band together to devise a counterattack. The story builds up to a climactic battle on July 4th, symbolizing humanity's fight for survival and freedom. If you didn’t know already, "Independence Day" has some quality special effects, thrilling action sequences, and an iconic speech by President Whitmore rallying the human forces.

‘The Sandlot’
"The Sandlot" is a coming-of-age comedy movie set in the summer of 1962 and follows a young boy named Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) who moves to a new neighborhood. Struggling to make friends, he eventually joins a local group of boys who play baseball at a small, makeshift field they call "The Sandlot." Under the guidance of their leader, Benny Rodriguez (Mike Vitar), Scotty learns to play the game and becomes part of their close-knit group.
The movie has fun exploring their adventures, particularly their encounters with a legendary, ferocious dog known as "The Beast," which guards a prized baseball hit over the fence into the dog's territory. Give this movie a go if you’re into a nostalgic portrayal of childhood, friendship, and the magic of summer.
