Production studio and distributor Neon is currently on a roll. Founded in 2017, it's the name behind international and award-winning hits such as Parasite, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Worst Person in the World, and more recently, Triangle of Sadness. Thanks to its smart and risqué attitude toward cinema, Neon has quickly risen the ranks to become a direct competitor to A24, the studio that blazed a trail for indies in our Marvel-dominated era and gained a cult-like following as a result of its efforts. Given that Neon is set to follow the same path (or perhaps go even further), we thought of gathering the best Neon films you can watch right now. See for yourself what this "filmmakers' haven," as actress Jessica Chastain calls the studio, has in store for you.

Drawing its films from an eclectic mix of sources, and backed by the reach of Disney, Hulu has become a unique place to find original and at times unconventional fare. Take the documentary film: while some networks and streamers lock in on particular types of documentaries—often going the classical route of combining archival footage with talking heads or voiceover narration—Hulu also offers documentaries that are more than happy to play with the form. Through different structures, offbeat characters, and combinations of techniques, these documentaries can help you rethink the very way you think about things.

With titles like The Act, The Handmaid's Tale, and Normal People, Hulu has long been holding its own in the streaming wars, able to go head-to-head with original-content heavyweights like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Given all this content, it can be difficult to wade through your options. So below, we've gathered the most worthwhile shows you can catch on the streamer. These have been hand-picked by our curators as among the very best not just on Hulu, but on TV right now.

Ranging from free to reasonably priced to premium, we've gathered the best Pluto TV Live alternatives you can check out right now.
How do you make an anti-war movie without accidentally glorifying it? It seems like an impossible task, considering you’d have to make blasts and executions look outstanding to make a mark. Consequently, many films regardless of the directors’ intent appear to be pro-war at times, inspiring a dangerous fervor among audiences. Jarhead, Full Metal Jacket, and even The Gladiator, for instance, are often accused of glamorizing warfare, despite their gruesome depictions that try to persuade people otherwise.
That said, a good anti-war movie clearly shows the costs and futility of conflict without compromising craft and quality. It seems impossible, but the movies we've gathered below prove that it isn’t. Here’s our list of the best anti-war movies you can stream right now.
We can imagine many parents hoping to make the most of their Disney+ subscriptions for their kids by also signing up for Hulu via The Disney Bundle (which also includes ESPN+). So while your children aren't checking out Disney's more kid-friendly content, you can enjoy the wealth of alternative films and series streaming on Hulu, thanks to their partnerships with FX, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, and more. To get you started, we at agoomovietowatch have compiled a list of 10 lesser-known but highly-rated films available on Hulu that should make that Bundle subscription worth the commitment.

It's quite affordable at $15/month, not to mention convenient and refreshing with its primary focus on non-English content.

For some viewers, the joy of watching on a streaming service like Netflix is that it does the difficult work of deciding what to watch for you. Powered by an algorithm, the service typically suggests TV shows and movies you can queue next based on your expressed preference and previous watches, saving you time and effort along the way. Convenient, right?
Sure. But on the other hand, there are just as many viewers who prefer making that decision all on their own, regardless of how time-consuming it can get. Renowned director Martin Scorsese famously denounced algorithm-based recommendations, claiming that "they take away from your creative viewing." A friend's good-natured suggestion can likewise be obsolete if we're just to trust the tech a hundred percent.
On a more simplistic level, an algorithm can also mess up your homepage once another person uses your account or you accidentally give a thumbs-up to a title you don't like; it can mistake others' actions for yours, offering you stuff you don't actually care for.
If you're looking to be more proactive about what you watch, or would rather your recommendations have the human touch, here are some of the best streaming services without algorithms you need to check out. These services are known to have carefully selected their picks, making sure you get an intentional and tasteful curation experience.
Sometimes we all just need a good cry. Even though an algorithm such as Netflix's is, in theory, designed to keep scratching the itch for entertainment that makes you feel good and satisfied, there's still something cathartic about watching stories that just hurt. The streaming giant's wide range of popular content designed for a broad, international viewership (with the odd selection or two for particularly niche audiences) means that this list we've created offers films that should leave you aching but not miserable—and should inspire a greater sense of empathy that trumps any hopelessness.
For $18 a month, Xfinity broadband subscribers can opt-in to Xfinity Choice, a live TV streaming service exclusive to Xfinity users. The channel lineup includes news networks like CNBC and Fox News, sports channels like ESPN2, and entertainment channels like AMC and FX (kids also have Disney, Nickelodeon, and Discovery to choose from). It’s a solid selection, but it's also quite limited, and if you want more sports, news, or entertainment options, you'll have to buy their add-on packages, whose own costs can easily stack up without you noticing.
If you're considering other live TV streaming services, preferably those with a wider variety of channels to choose from, here are the best Xfinity Choice TV alternatives available right now.
Television has been an invaluable tool for journalism and education for as long as television's been around. This means that documentaries—typically more in-depth and more artfully presented like films—have always been at home on TV, where they can cover a greater breadth of material. And in recent years, documentary series have taken on a popularity of their own in the realms of true crime, sports, nature, and many others, with countless shows being released every year. Here at agoodmovietowatch, we've listed 10 documentary or reality-based series that might have flown under the radar of your streaming algorithms but remain high-quality examples of what factual, informational, and even experimental reporting can accomplish.
