A classic Denzel Washington movie

One of Denzel Washington's signature '90s movies is coming to Hulu this weekend. He Got Game will debut on the streaming service on Friday, February 7, 2025.

It stars Washington and NBA star Ray Allen. In the movie, Washington plays the father of a top basketball prospect, played by Allen.

Unfortunately, He's Got Game was not a box office success upon its theatrical release. It grossed nearly $22 million worldwide on a budget of $25 million.

Legendary filmmaker Spike Lee wrote and directed He's Got Game. It was one of the many collaborations between Lee and Washington.

Washington has also starred in Mo' Better Blues and Malcolm X. The latter movie earned Washington his third Oscar nomination. He earned a Best Actor nomination for his performance.

A 2002 rom-com

Additionally, Brown Sugar, a 2002 rom-com, is coming to Hulu this weekend as well. It stars Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan in the lead roles.

They play lifelong friends who celebrate their career-defining moments. They both attribute their careers being launched by a shared moment of discovering hip-hop. However, 15 years later, they realize there may be more to why they keep celebrating that fateful day.

Rick Famuyiwa co-wrote and directed Brown Sugar. It has become one of his signature movies along with The Wood, released in 1999.
