You've got a lot of Tarantino to take in.

Come February, the thing on most people’s minds is Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s a chance to treat their most beloved to something special. For others, it’s an opportunity to hide away from all those happy couples and have a date with their TV. And orbiting both of those groups are people who are happy to just Hulu and Hang. (It’s like Netflix and Chill, but actually involves watching what's on the screen.) And next month there are quite a few titles leaving Hulu that those folks should prioritize before they leave the streaming service. (All of them disappear on February 28.) From Rounders to Rosemary’s Baby and back to Quentin Tarantino, these are the flicks you need to watch on Hulu ASAP.

  • In a freakish turn of events, local weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) finds himself waking up in the same day over and over. Then he falls in love with Andie MacDowell. This Harold Ramis flick is smart and charming in all the ways 1990s rom-coms always are—plus it’s got Bill Murray. Who doesn’t love Bill Murray? No one, that’s who.
  • Have you ever wondered why people say “these go to 11”? That’s because you haven’t seen this classic Rob Reiner mock rockumentary. You need to rectify that immediately.
  • Before she was leading the charge at the Women’s March last weekend, Madonna was in this 1980s classic. (She also had, you know, a decades-spanning music career.) And beyond the Madonna-ness of it, *Desperately Seeking Susan* is just plain fun. After a housewife (Rosanna Arquette) gets amnesia, she’s mistaken for a super-cool chick named Susan (that would be Madonna) in New York City. Mayhem ensues. This flick also has a killer soundtrack that includes David Bowie and the Material Girl’s “Into the Groove.”
  • A Coen Brothers classic that has tremendous turns from Josh Brolin as a Texas hunter who finds some money that belongs to some very bad people and Javier Bardem as the toughest guy to ever rock a bowl cut. Skip this at your own peril, friend-o.
  • In the two decades since its release, Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece has lost none of its luster. Fantastic characters, unforgettable dialogue, and some of the best music ever placed in a film. Do you really need a reason to watch this?
  • While *Pulp Fiction* might end up being Tarantino’s must memorable and well-known film, it was *Reservoir Dogs* that first put him on the map. It’s a great gangster caper, and it’s got one of the best “Who shot first?” scenes since Han faced off with Greedo.
  • This is that movie where Demi Moore rolls around on a bed covered with $1 million in cash. It’s also that movie where you have to suspend disbelief long enough to believe that a still-foxy 1990s Robert Redford would be unable to find a date. Other revelations? Woody Harrelson has hair.
  • Roman Polanski’s devil-spawn horror flick is just as bone-chilling now as it was nearly four decades ago. You might want to watch this with the lights on—and with a Baby Gap nowhere in sight.
  • In *Rounders*, Matt Damon plays a young no-limit Texas hold ‘em player who goes all-in against the toughest players in New York to help an old friend. It’s a little hokey, but poker has never looked so nerve-rackingly good.
