This is the best film of all time, according to Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes has revealed its list of the highest-rated movies of all time, based on reviews from critics.
The review aggregator has published a list of 300 films, all of which are ‘Certified Fresh’ by reviewers.
The films are ranked using a combination of a movie’s Tomatometer rating (i.e. its performance according to critics) and its Audience Score.
Among the top 10 list, which spans eight decades of filmmaking, are five Academy Award Best Picture wins including Schindler’s List and Parasite, which NME gave five stars in its review.
However, first place on the list is taken by L.A. Confidential (1997), which missed out on the prestigious award, losing to James Cameron’s Titanic. The epic disaster film won 11 Oscars, but hasn’t been featured in Rotten Tomatoes’ top 300.
You can check out the top 10 list below.
- L.A. Confidential
- The Godfather
- Casablanca
- Seven Samurai
- Parasite
- Schindler’s List
- Top Gun: Maverick
- Toy Story 2
- Chinatown
- On The Waterfront
Several animated movies including the Toy Story franchise, Finding Nemo and How To Train Your Dragon have made it into the top 20, with Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away being ranked in 17th place.
Marvel Studios has also made it into the top 30 list, with 2018’s animated movie Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse coming in at 21st place.
The most recent film in the top 100 list is Best Picture nominee The Holdovers, which was released late last year. Starring Paul Giamatti and Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, the film is currently ranked at number 36.
