What movies have gotten 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?

We live in an age of hyperbole where everything can be categorized into “the best” and “the worst.” As a people, we love to distinguish what comes out on top and what, in contrast, falls miserably to the wayside. Whether it comes to restaurants, shops, hotels, or dishwashers, we love knowing which ones we can rely on. It’s no different when it comes to movies. Luckily, Rotten Tomatoes separates the champs from the duds, so we don’t have to.

Although there’s been a fierce debate going on for quite some time now whether or not the aggregating system the website uses is effective or not, the truth is people look to Rotten Tomatoes to see what movies they should see and which ones to avoid. Studios want to get a percentage score as close to 100% as possible in order for films to be looked upon favorably, and anything under 59% is considered rotten.

Here we take a look at some of the best and the worst movies of all time, according to Rotten Tomatoes. It’s rare that a film gets a perfect 100%, but we’ve sifted through the countless films that have been released in order to showcase those that have achieved RT perfection.

Here are 10 Movies That Have 100% On Rotten Tomatoes

The Terminator

There have been six Terminator movies released in total, all with varying degrees of box-office success. However, the original film released in 1984 has been the most critically-triumphant by far, gaining itself a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Although Arnold Schwarzenegger had been doing film work since 1970, it was really The Terminator movie that thrust him into huge fame, just after he had starred in Conan the Barbarian two years before in 1982.

The sci-fi Terminator franchise became a huge hit with fans of the genre, and the first couple of films remain cult classics to this day.

Paddington 2

It’s a well-known fact that most sequels are considered to be of poorer quality than their original film. Of course, there are exceptions to this, and Paddington 2 certainly seems to be one of the best examples.

People were bowled over by the adorable marmalade sandwich-loving bear when the first film was released in 2014.

Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise is the first of Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy, which follows the love story between two people who meet on a train. The film is essentially one long conversation between the couple as they wander the streets of Vienna, getting to know one another, and is often listed as one of the most romantic films of all time.

The way the love story unfolds between the two protagonists is so organic and so vulnerable, that it is hard not to get swept up in the magic of their encounter.

All three movies in the trilogy have incredibly high scores on Rotten Tomatoes, but Before Sunrise stands out as the one with a perfect score of 100%.

Toy Story 2

The Toy Story franchise is beloved by countless people, young and old, but will always hold a special place in the hearts of children growing up in the '90s. The question over which of the three films is the best one is still a hotly debated topic, but if we’re looking at Rotten Tomatoes scores, it’s actually a tie.

Both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 have 100% ratings on the website, while the third film follows close behind with a score of 99%.

This is practically unheard of for a film franchise, and just goes to show the lasting legacy that Woody and Buzz have had on our cinematic lives.

Leave No Trace

Leave No Trace is the most recent film to be released in this list, and has already established itself as a amazing piece of cinema.

Directed by Debra Granik, the film stars Ben Foster as a veteran with PTSD and Thomasin McKenzie as his daughter.

The movie has received critical acclaim, and both actors performances have been praised for their immense power. This is definitely a film to take note of, and its perfect score of 100% shows that there is a lot of fresh talent in the cinema scene.

Mr. Roosevelt

Mr. Roosevelt tell the story of a young woman who comes back to her hometown in order to deal with her past, while staying at her ex-boyfriend’s place with his new girlfriend.

The film, released in 2017, is Noel Wells’ directorial debut and had its world premiere at the South by Southwest festival where it received a standing ovation.

It has had a hugely positive critical response, mirrored by its perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Full of tenderness and packed full of relatable moments, Mr. Roosevelt may not have the prominence of its fellow 100% scoring films, but it is certainly as well-deserved.

The Sweet Hereafter

This 1997 Canadian drama focuses on the aftermath of a tragic school bus accident in a small town, and how the community deals with the losses and sorrows that result from it.

Although The Sweet Hereafter did not have huge box-office success, it received many notable awards and nominations, including the Grand Prix at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, as well as two Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Its enduring quality is seen in its 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as its inclusion in the Toronto International Film Festival’s list of top ten Canadian films of all time.

Man on Wire

Man on Wire is a 2008 biographical documentary about Philippe Petit’s high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York City’s former World Trade Center in 1974.

Based on Petit’s book To Reach the Clouds, the film was a huge success, winning the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, a BAFTA for Outstanding British Film, and perhaps most impressively, an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Man on Wire has a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and is widely considered one of the best documentaries ever made.

Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins soared into the hearts of children everywhere and delivered a spoonful of greatness in every which way with its perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The story of the nanny who brought fun to the children she cared for is one of the most beloved Disney movies of all time, so it’s not surprising that its critical response reflects this.

With a new Mary Poppins on the horizon starring Emily Blunt, we’ll just have to wait and see if she can keep up the perfect score and deliver another 100% for the Poppins reputation - it’s certainly a hard act to follow.

Citizen Kane

It is generally agreed that the 1941 Orson Wells masterpiece Citizen Kane is one of the most revered and respected films of all the time, and subsequently, it appears in most Greatest Movies of all Time lists. It should be no surprise then that Citizen Kane is one of the rare movies to have the coveted 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movie about a newspaper tycoon’s rise and fall is as much a piece of art as it is a cinematic triumph, and it often used as a marker against which other great films are held against.
