Welcome to the 300 highest-rated movies of all time, as reviewed and championed by Tomatometer-approved critics and Rotten Tomatoes users.
How are the movies ranked? First, every movie here is Certified Fresh. (Learn more on the About page.) Then we applied our recommendation formula, which considers a movie’s Tomatometer rating with assistance from your votes on the Popcornmeter, illuminating beloved sentiment from all sides. Critics-certified, audience-approved!
Other factors weighing into the recommendation formula: a movie’s number of critics reviews, the number of Popcornmeter votes, and its year of release. An editorial pass is reserved to finesse the final list, which includes minimum thresholds for each of the data categories.
New movie added to the list: Sinners
