Sometimes, Hulu brings a comedy movie out of the vault that catches us completely off guard.

The streamer has recently added Neighbors, the little-known 1981 comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Despite that high-profile duo, this film has been overshadowed by The Blues Brothers for a long time.

Meanwhile, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is making its welcome return to Hulu this month.

You can catch both of those films on the Watch With Us team’s roundup of the must-watch comedy movies on Hulu right now.

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion features Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as best friends, Romy White and Michele Weinberger, respectively. Ten years ago, they were mercilessly bullied in high school by the likes of Christie Masters (Julia Campbell) and Billy Christianson (Vincent Ventresca). Now, their 10-year reunion has arrived, and both women are spectacularly unsuccessful.

Rather than let their failures in life keep them away, the two women decide to pretend to be successful and wealthy at the reunion. However, the trip brings out the worst in Romy and Michele, and their friendship may never be the same again.

Neighbors has been largely forgotten for decades, but this was the last film made by John Belushi before his death. It also reunited Belushi with his Blues Brothers costar, Dan Aykroyd, one last time as they essentially traded their comic personas. For this story, Belushi played the uptight Earl Keese and Aykroyd was the unhinged Victor “Vic” Zeck.

Earl’s life with his wife, Enid (Kathryn Walker), was uneventful until Vic and his wife, Ramona (Cathy Moriarty), moved in next door. Suddenly, things are getting too interesting in the neighborhood, and Earl openly distrusts the Zecks. But everyone around Earl thinks he’s overreacting to the new additions.

There’s Something About Mary was a comedy sensation nearly three decades ago, and it’s still pretty daring by modern standards. Cameron Diaz plays Mary Jensen, the dream woman of just about every guy she’s ever met. Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) never got over his missed opportunity with her in high school, and it doesn’t take much convincing to get him to look her up.

The bad news for Ted is that Pat Healy (Matt Dillon), the private investigator he hired, has also fallen in love with Mary. And he’ll do anything to keep Ted and Mary apart. What Pat doesn’t know is that they’ve both got a lot of competition from the other men in Mary’s life.

Legal comedies are pretty rare, much less Oscar-winning legal comedies. My Cousin Vinny‘s greatest claim to fame is that Marisa Tomei won Best Supporting Actress for her fiery turn as Mona Lisa Vito. As much as she deserved it, this is also Joe Pesci‘s movie. He plays Vinny Gambini, an inexperienced personal injury lawyer who is forced to take up his first criminal defense case.

Vinny’s cousin, Bill Gambini (Ralph Macchio), and his friend, Stan Rothenstein (Mitchell Whitfield), are on trial for a murder they didn’t commit. In this environment, Vinny’s a fish out of water and a constant source of irritation to Judge Chamberlain Haller (Fred Gwynne). The film gets a lot of humor out of that relationship, but it’s also fairly accurate with its depiction of trials and laws. Lawyers love this movie, and so will you.

Code 3 is a very funny movie, but it’s got some serious dramatic moments as well. The Office‘s Rainn Wilson stars as Randy, a paramedic who is at the end of his rope after years of treating patients in the back of an ambulance alongside his driver, Mike (Lil Rel Howery).

On his final 24-hour shift, Randy is forced to let a medical student, Jessica (Aimee Carrero), join him in the back and get a first-hand look at what he dealt with every night on the job. There are times when the paramedics genuinely save lives and make a difference. But other moments test their resolve and sanity in the face of tragedy and despair.

Jennifer Lawrence embraces R-rated comedy in No Hard Feelings, and it proves to be a good fit for her. Lawrence plays Maddie Barker, a desperate woman in her ’30s who is being paid to date Percy Becker (Andrew Barth Feldman), the college-age son of Laird (Matthew Broderick) and Allison Becker (Laura Benanti).

Percy isn’t in on this plan, and he doesn’t realize that his parents set this up to give him the confidence he’s been sorely lacking. He also has no experience with women at all, as Maddie’s attempts to throw herself at him go very badly. She needs Percy to give in to her charms to save her home and her car from repossession, but Maddie’s really going to need to work hard to seduce him.

Bullet Train is one of the few action comedies that equally excels at both parts of the equation. Brad Pitt stars as an assassin codenamed Ladybug who is rethinking his life choices. Ladybug’s assignment in Japan was supposed to be an easy job, and all he had to do was get on a high-speed bullet train and get off with a suitcase full of cash.

Much to Ladybug’s chagrin, the train is filled with other assassins who have their own agendas. Some of them want Ladybug dead. There’s a mysterious woman pulling the strings of these killers, and there’s nothing but trouble waiting for all of them at the end of the line.
