5 movies leaving Hulu in November 2024 you have to watch
Two women stand in a club in Hustlers.

For the last couple of months, there have been so few movies leaving Hulu that we've had to borrow departing films from the next month to fill out this list. And since only three movies are leaving Hulu on November 30, we had to do it again this month.

Hustlers and Three Identical Strangers are both exiting Hulu at the end of November. Our remaining picks for the five movies leaving Hulu will be sticking around for the early days of December. But if the list of titles leaving Hulu in December is any indication, then we won't have to borrow any titles from January's departures.

3 underrated movies you need to watch in December 2024
A man fires a gun in The Order.

It's the last month of the year, which means Hollywood is releasing all of its good movies at once. It's all an attempt to win awards and to scoop up holiday dollars, but hey, I'm not complaining. December is prime time for movie fans, and the only negative is losing sleep since there are so many great films to watch and very little time to see them.

Chances are, you'll watch Sonic the Hedgehog 3 or Mufasa. Those are big films, with big stars and big marketing budgets. But there are smaller movies with smaller advertising spends that deserve your time and attention. The following three aren't your usual holiday movie fare, but that's a good thing. They all promise to finish your year off with a bang ... and in one case, a very nasty bite.
