Only films with a critics' consensus (staff-written summary) or at least 20 reviews are included. The 100% rating could also be affected by rediscovering negative reviews, as in the case with Citizen Kane when an 80-year-old negative review from the Chicago Tribune affected its former 100% rating with 115 reviews. The film has a 99% rating with 247 reviews, with one negative review from the aforementioned critic. Paddington 2 held a perfect rating from its release in 2017 until film critic Eddie Harrison published a negative review in June 2021. To date, Lady Bird has a 99% rating with 394 positive reviews and four negative reviews. For example, Lady Bird had a 100% rating based on 196 positive reviews when film critic Cole Smithey submitted a negative review solely in response to the perfect rating. Rotten Films: 162 Definition: Films that feature ghosts, spirits, or religious elements With the likes of The Exorcist, The Omen, The Evil Dead, The Dark and the Wicked, Drag Me to Hell, The Sixth Sense, The Uninvited, and House on Haunted Hill within the paranormal subgenre, it’s taken a lot of Rotten films to drop the Tomatometer average down to 46.

The 100% rating is vulnerable to a film critic gaming the system by purposely submitting a negative review. To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 248 positive reviews. 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. 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.


Listed below are films with 100% ratings that have a critics' consensus or have been reviewed by at least twenty film critics. 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.
