In February, Hulu upped its game by rolling out an enticing collection of rom-coms, perfect for subscribers looking to indulge in their favorite love stories when Valentine’s Day comes around.
While classics like When Harry Met Sally and Pretty Woman are likely at the top of your must-watch list, Watch With Us has compiled a selection of lesser-known gems that might have slipped under your radar.
Though not a rom-com by any stretch, Clown in a Cornfield is a must-see for horror enthusiasts. This entertaining slasher film promises a thrillingly high body count, as its title suggests.
For those in the mood for more mature content, Tina Fey stars in the comedy Date Night, while Helen Mirren captivates in the drama The Last Station, both offering compelling adult entertainment.
‘Clown in a Cornfield’ (2025)
Sometimes, a movie title alone is enough to pique your curiosity, and Clown in the Cornfield does just that. This horror flick delivers exactly what it promises: a group of teens facing off against a menacing clown in a cornfield. It’s straightforward and delightfully chilling.
Some movies have titles that are just too bad to resist. Clown in the Cornfield is one such movie, a horror flick about a bunch of teens who encounter, well, a clown in a cornfield. Hey, you can’t say the title is dishonest.
This weekend, most people will be glued to their TVs watching either the 2026 Super Bowl or the Winter Olympics. But what if you don’t care about sports at all? Thank You!

When high school student Quinn Maybrook (Katie Douglas) moves to Kettle Springs, Missouri, she’s bummed she has to spend her senior year in such a dumpy small town. Her spirits are lifted when she befriends a group of fellow bored teens, who fill her in on a local legend involving a killer clown named Frendo who killed two teenagers back in the early ‘90s. That urban legend becomes a horrifying reality for Quinn and her friends when they encounter multiple Frendos in the present. Will Quinn make it out of the cornfield alive?
An indie horror hit last year, Clown in a Cornfield carries on the grand tradition of slasher films with murderous clowns as antagonists. Like Funhouse and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Cornfield’s budget is low, but the body count is pretty high, which is all you really need for a movie like this. It’s a better and bloodier nostalgic take on ‘80s horror than Eli Roth’s disappointing Thanksgiving, with lead characters you actually care about.
Clown in a Cornfield is now streaming on Hulu.
‘Date Night’ (2010)
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for young lovers — older married couples need some romance, too! That’s the central conceit behind Date Night, an entertaining rom-com-action movie starring two of the greatest stars NBC ever produced, Tina Fey and Steve Carell.
Phil and Claire Foster (Carell and Fey) are a longtime married couple in need of a little excitement. They get it and so much more when they impulsively impersonate another couple, the Tripplehorns, at a trendy Manhattan restaurant to snag a table. But instead of enjoying their overpriced meal, they are approached by two crooked cops who work for a local mafioso. They think the Fosters are the Tripplehorns and demand they pony up a flash drive containing incriminating evidence. Soon, the Fosters’ date night turns into a frantic — and comedic — fight for their lives as they try to track down the real Tripplehorns to give the mob what it wants.
Date Night’s plot is deliberately far-fetched, and it’s really just an excuse to string together a series of comedic sequences with Phil and Claire encountering all sorts of trouble around New York City. That’s OK when you have such talented performers as Carell and Fey leading the way, with an unbelievably stacked supporting cast that includes Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg.
Date Night is streaming on Hulu.
‘The Last Station’ (2009)
It’s 1910, and Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) is dying. The legendary Russian author has been ill for a while now, but he’s really close to death now, and his affairs must be in order. His devoted wife, Sonya (Helen Mirren), doesn’t want him to sign a new will that will leave all of his private property, and potentially lucrative copyrights, to the Russian state. Tolstoy, however, doesn’t believe in private property — he thinks it gets in the way of achieving spiritual contentment. That’s nice in theory, but Sonya has mouths to feed, including her own, and she believes she has a rightful claim to Tolstoy’s fortune.
Hulu is giving out kisses this February — that’s appropriate with Valentine’s Day coming up. I don’t mean literally, of course — that would probably be illegal in most states. I’m referring to the big new movie debuting on the platform this month: Kiss of the Spider Woman, the flashy new musical starring Jennifer Lopez. […]
The Last Station is a good old-fashioned chamber drama, with a relatively small cast, few locations and a central conflict between Tolstoy and Sonya that is captivating enough for you not to need much else. Plummer and Mirren were Oscar-nominated for their performances, and they deserved them for their spirited work here. They breathe life into Russian history and make their real-life historical figures flesh-and-blood people, which is harder than it sounds.
The Last Station is streaming on Hulu.
