100 Best Classic Movies of All Time

Welcome to Rotten Tomatoes' 100 best-reviewed classic movies of all time ranked by Adjusted Tomatometer! We define 'classic' as everything released up until the late-1960s, a tumultuous era that signaled a passing of the guard with national cultural revolutions, destruction of the Motion Picture Production Code, and the impending arrival of New Hollywood filmmakers.
