A Gen X coming-of-age classic, an ’80s-inspired movie musical, and five Resident Evil movies starring Ukrainian-American actress Milla Jovovich are just a few of the 15 notable movies we’ve highlighted that will premiere on the Hulu streaming service this month. There’s also an underrated sci-fi thriller starring Matt Damon, a Sam Raimi horror-comedy that you may have missed in theaters, the original Karate Kid, a hilarious Simon Pegg buddy-cop comedy, and several other titles worth checking out.

Watch these?
I don’t think DeSalvo is suggesting we watch most of these, per se, just that if you must watch 15 new Hulu films in May then this is as good as it’s gonna get.
Because I sympathized with the nerdy kid who ends up still alone and taken advantage of, I never liked Breakfast Club. And it hasn’t aged well.
I must have seen a post-adjustment Adjustment Bureau for the version I saw was a load of stupid crap.And I normally like stupid crap so it’s pretty suspicious.
Breakfast Club: Where the four cool kids hook up with each other and manipulate the geek into believing they’re all friends and to write the reflection paper himself. Ah yes.
Granted, that paper couldn’t have taken more than fifteen minutes to write, unless large sections were removed from the final voice-over. The greater tragedy of the movie is that Molly Ringwald’s character takes an interest in Bender, a guy poised at that moment where “victim of child abuse” takes a backseat to “perpetrator of domestic abuse.”
Some of us break the chain.
I at least give Hughes credit for having Ringwald be honest with him about where they really stand. Most would have made that a feel-good moment, even if you suspected it wouldn’t really play out like that in the halls.
Being the same age as Anthony Michael Hall’s character in 1985 (and actually seeing it in the theater at the time). I think that was just reality. I was the geek in high school that cool kids wanted for their laboratory partner — because they knew I’d do the work while they goofed off.
Dazed and Confused is a movie that I enjoy exactly the same amount every time I watch it. It isn’t perfect, it doesn’t necessarily gain texture or depth with repeat viewings, but it’s exactly the same kind of low-key enjoyable now as when I was in high school. Maybe now that The Great is so popular, there will be a reappraisal of Marie Antoinette. It’s awfully good.
Rock of Ages?Whoof…
And to think: these are allegedly the best movies coming to Hulu.
Ugh slideshows are normally annoying but they’re extra annying with videos.Sometimes the height of the next button changes, so you accidently click on the video, starting it… but if a video is playing when you hit next, it continues to play, and you can’t stop it without going back.
I watched the special edition of “Once Upon a Time in America” a couple of years ago. I think it was Marty Scorsese who had over many years tried to restore the gangster epic, looking for every bit of footage that was left on the cutting room floor. Oddly it included footage without audio that looked like really bad Super 8 film. I think there is footage of the kids going to a brothel that would be problematic even today, almost forty years later, that was never restored to the movie. In any case, despite what you think of the politics of the movie’s stars today, this is a great movie, Leone’s Godfather. It has an excellent score by the Maestro Ennio Morricone, has one of the longest ringing phone scenes ever (very anxiously annoying), and Jennifer Connelly in her first role (she was a very gorgeous pre-teen).When I first saw this movie in 1984, it had a ten-minute intermission. It is long. When it was shown in The Movie Channel, the intermission was three minutes.
Drag me to Hell is fun, interesting to see what Sam Raimi can do with a little bit of money
