What’s New on Hulu: October 2016

At the beginning of (and during) every month, Hulu adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Below, you’ll find our recommendations for October. For more comprehensive coverage of the best titles available on Hulu and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.

She wore… Blue Velvet (1986)

Before Kyle MacLachlan captured the nation’s heart in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, he did so in Lynch’s neo-noir mystery Blue Velvet, which chronicles the dark, twisted adventures of a college student who discovers a severed ear in a field. The North Carolina tourism industry still hasn’t fully recovered.

Phil? Ned? Groundhog Day (1993)

You don’t have to wait until February 2 to watch the delightful Bill Murray relive his day, again and again and again, as a meteorologist trapped in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. But that would certainly be special, wouldn’t it?

Talking rhinoceroses with Dalí: Midnight in Paris (2011)

Woody Allen’s nostalgic romp features an ensemble cast lead by Owen Wilson, who plays a Hollywood screenwriter vacationing in Paris with his fiancée when he’s suddenly transported back to the 1920s and 1880s. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí show up to whisk him around the City of Lights, just for kicks.

Cue the Mancini: The Pink Panther (1963)

The late, great Peter Sellers gave one of the most iconic comedic performances of all time as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the Pink Panther series. That’s as good a reason as any to watch (or rewatch) the first film that started it all. Tu l’adoreras.

Never go camping in Maryland: The Blair Witch Project (1999)

If you want to remember why camping should be avoided at all times, The Blair Witch Project is here to scare crap out of you with its “found-footage” narrative. (And the budget was only $60,000! Jeez!) There’s a reason why the film’s frightening legacy has persisted through all of these years  less is more, especially in the woods after dark.
