Movie studio Miramax has inked a multi-year deal with video streaming service Hulu that will see hundreds of Miramax films available for streaming to Hulu Plus subscribers, along with a rotating set of 15 movies available to non-subscribers through ad-supported streaming. Miramax films included in the deal include acclaimed movies like Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, The English Patient, and My Left Foot; the companies claim hundreds of the movies will be available in high-definition.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Making our films available via premium digital distribution channels is extremely important,” said Miramax CEO Mike Lang, in a statement. “As one of the early promoters of Hulu and its CEO Jason Kilar, I couldn’t be more excited than to be in business with them today, and we’re thrilled about the prospect of enhancing both our brands by making our films accessible to Hulu’s fast-growing audience.”

Earlier this month, Miramax announced a multi-year streaming deal Netflix; again, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Miramax spun free from Walt Disney late last year and has distribution deals with Studiocanal and Lionsgate.

June is one of the most important months of the year. Pride Month, Juneteenth, and Father's Day all take place during this pivotal month. The best horror movies on Hulu and other streaming services are perfect for pretty much any time of the year but especially June, considering the LGBTQ+ and Black communities are remarkably supportive of the genre. After all, a great horror movie can do more than just frighten us -- at their best, they can comment on societal issues and explore deep and relatable themes.

Unlike other streamers, Hulu's horror collection is considerable and full of recognizable titles and original efforts. Hulu has a library so large that it might be easy to get lost in it, especially considering many of its best offerings are underrated original efforts many might ignore at first glance. To help, we at Digital Trends have done the work of going through Hulu's mighty collection of scary movies and selecting the best ones to keep you up at night. Here’s our roundup of the best horror movies on Hulu you can stream right now.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
