ROTTEN TOMATOES: Best Reviewed Movies of All Time

Intro | How It Works

At Rotten Tomatoes, we know a thing or two about movie critics. When you get a bunch of pundits in a room together, it's tough to come to any kind of consensus. But once in a while, you'll find them in perfect concert. Thus we present to you RT's Best Reviewed Movies of All Time, a compendium of films that have achieved the height of critical blessing. From influential masterpieces (Citizen Kane, Metropolis) to perennial favorites ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Singin' in the Rain), we've got movies that have won widespread critical acclaim and fueled audiences' imaginations.

Now, before you start melting down your keyboards with angry feedback about the rankings, take a moment to look at our methodology. We're using a weighted formula that adjusts the Tomatometer scores to account for the different number of reviews for each film as well as the average amount of reviews for older movies. And no film with fewer than 20 reviews qualifies. Thus, while most of the movies on this list are at 100 percent, a few other classics with perfect scores are absent (sorry, Jaws. Tough break, T2: Judgment Day). How do your favorites stack up? Read RT's Best Reviewed Movies of All Time list to find out!
