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!

• Each critic from our discrete list gets one vote, all weighted equally.
• Reviews without ratings are not counted toward the results.
• Because reviews are continually added, manually and otherwise, we have a cutoff
  date at which new reviews are not counted. The current cut off date is 4/27/2009.
• We use a weighted formula to account for variation in the number of reviews
  per movie per year. The winners are determined by the rankings,
  designated as the "adjusted score," after applying said formula:

  t + ((r-a) ÷ a) if number of reviews > average number of reviews for
  corresponding year.
  t * (r ÷ a) if number of reviews < average number of reviews for
  corresponding year
  t if number of reviews = average number of reviews for
  corresponding year
  with "r" representing the number of rated reviews, "t" the
  Tomatometer score, and "a" the average number of reviews
  per movie for corresponding year
