The highest-rated movies of all time, as reviewed and selected by Rotten Tomatoes critics and users.
How did we select and rank the movies? First, every movie here is Certified Fresh.
Then we applied our recommendation formula, which considers a movie's Tomatometer rating with assistance from its Audience Score, illuminating beloved sentiment from both sides. Critics-certified, audience-approved!
Other factors weighing into the recommendation formula: a movie's number of critics reviews, the number of Audience Score votes, and its year of release. An editorial pass is reserved to finesse the final list, which included minimum thresholds for each of these data points.
