List of films with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
On the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, a set of films have a 100% approval rating. The percentage is based on the film's reviews aggregated by the website and assessed as positive or negative, and when all aggregated reviews are positive, the film has a 100% rating. Listed below are films with 100% ratings that have a critics' consensus or have been reviewed by at least twenty film critics. Many of these films, particularly those with a high number of positive reviews, have achieved wide critical acclaim and are often considered among the best films ever made. A number of these films also appear on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies lists, but there are many others and several entries with dozens of positive reviews, which are considered surprising to some experts. To date, Paddington 2 holds the site's record, with an approval rating of 100% and 240 positive reviews.
The 100% rating is vulnerable to a film critic gaming the system by purposely submitting a negative review. At the end of 2017, Lady Bird had a 100% rating based on 196 positive reviews when film critic Cole Smithey submitted his review as negative in response to the perfect rating. To date, Lady Bird has a 99% rating with 385 positive reviews and four negative reviews.
