Summer is in full swing, and you might be cooling off with the A/C blasting or relaxing in the backyard with your favorite snacks. Nothing is better than kicking off the summer season than with the perfect movie binge. Hulu is packed with nostalgic, feel-good, and downright fun flicks that bring the sunshine straight to your screen. If you’re looking for movies that feel like summer, here are six options streaming on Hulu to binge that totally capture that sun-soaked, carefree energy.
Hulu’s Summer Binge Picks
1. The Sandlot
This movie is summer, so of course it’s on this binge list. Set during the summer of 1962, it follows a group of neighborhood kids bonding over baseball, adventures, and facing off against the legendary Beast. It’s pure nostalgia and a total must-watch if you haven’t seen it in a while (or ever). Although the majority cast isn’t acting anymore it’s fun to spot those who are like Ton Guiry and Marlee Shelton.
Fascinating Fact: The famous “You’re killing me, Smalls!” line has become one of the most quoted in pop culture history.
2. Palm Springs
Think Groundhog Day meets summer wedding chaos. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti are stuck in a time loop and forced to relive the same sunny day over and over—with hilarious, unexpected results. It’s weird, heartfelt, and one of Hulu’s best original films.
Fascinating Fact: The film set a Sundance record when Hulu and Neon bought it for exactly $17,500,000.69—69 cents more than the previous record-holder.
3. Fire Island
A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice set during a wild summer vacation on Fire Island, this film is equal parts romantic, hilarious, and socially sharp. Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, and Conrad Ricamora bring all the charm, and it’s one of the better LGBTQ summer movies streaming on Hulu that is perfect to binge.
Fascinating Fact: The script was inspired by Joel Kim Booster’s real-life experiences vacationing on Fire Island with friends.
4. The Way, Way Back
A sweet coming-of-age film about a shy teen finding his confidence during a summer at a water park. Sam Rockwell steals the show as the quirky but lovable mentor. This is the under-the-radar gem you’ll want to recommend to your friends.
Fascinating Fact: The film was inspired by co-writer Jim Rash’s own childhood and a real-life conversation with his stepfather.
5. The Last Song
The Last Song is all about beach towns, first love, and family healing. Starring Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, this Nicholas Sparks adaptation is heavy on the emotions but full of warm weather vibes and heart.
Fascinating Fact: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth met and fell in love on the set of this film.
6. Vacation Friends
Pure chaos in the best way. When two couples bond on a wild vacation, they return home only to find out that the fun isn’t over. John Cena is hilarious, and the humor is unhinged in all the right places. Great if you want to laugh with a cocktail in hand.
Fascinating Fact: The film was so popular on Hulu it quickly got a greenlight for a sequel—Vacation Friends 2, which premiered in 2023.
7. Summer of 69 (2025)
Jillian Bell’s directorial debut is a coming-of-age dramedy that dropped at South by Southwest earlier this year before landing on Hulu. Starring Chloe Fineman and featuring Liza Koshy, the film follows a high school senior navigating crushes, insecurities, and messy summer fun. Its silly humor and relatable teen angst make it a lighthearted, hilarious pick for a Hulu summer movie to binge.
8. Prey
Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, this Predator prequel brings a fresh summer survival energy to the franchise. Prey beautifully shot, suspenseful, and features one of the most resourceful protagonists in recent memory. We think this is a great summer thriller because Amber Midthunder runs, slides and hides from a brutal hunter in the most beautful summer weather.
Fascinating Fact: The film was released in both English and Comanche, making it the first feature-length film to be fully dubbed in the Comanche language.
9. Booksmart
Booksmart is technically a high school graduation movie, but the warm California setting and end-of-year chaos make it perfect for summer. It’s hilarious, whip-smart, and full of heart. Plus, it’s one of the best directorial debuts in recent memory.
Fascinating Fact: Olivia Wilde directed this as her debut feature film, and it received critical acclaim for its modern, inclusive take on the teen comedy genre.
