13 great movies with 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating
Unanimity is rare, but these movies deserve it.

Getting a perfect Rottentomatoes.com score is a difficult feat. This is a selection of movies that have managed to achieve an almost impossible unanimity — they are all 100% fresh.
Like it or not, RT's fresh-or-not system has become a highly popular way to measure how a movie has been received by both critics and viewers, and it's helpful for viewers to decide if the movie in question is worth a watch. While the infamous Tomatometer gathers reviews — the formula is as simple as dividing the total number of reviews by the number of "positive" ones — to reveal the degree of positive critical consensus, the audience score leaves the matter in the hands of thousands of viewers' votes.
The result provides an easy, visual way to capture an overall reaction to a movie. (Even if many would consider it dangerously reductive, diminishing film critics' standards and devaluing the profession… Just sayin'.)
It seems that's not the only danger. On September 6, 2023, Vulture reported how a PR firm called Bunker 15 managed to improve the negative RT score of Daisy Ridley's Ophelia by paying lower-level critics to post positive reviews. The firm denied the allegations, and the aggregator assured they take "the integrity of our scores seriously and do[es] not tolerate any attempts to manipulate them."
Scandals and all, there's something notoriously difficult to achieve on Rotten Tomatoes, even using tricky tactics: a perfect 100% score. Total positive consensus.
Granted, many movies manage to reach 100% freshness when they are first shown in film festivals, or when there are only a few reviews included, such as has been the case recently with Aubrey Plaza's new movie My Old Ass or last year with Emma Stone's Poor Things (which is now at 94%) or Benedict Cumberbatch's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (now at 96%).
What is truly difficult is maintaining that 100% score for years when all the reviews have been accounted for. These movies managed to achieve the impossible, and we're not surprised to see among them some of the best movies of all time. Even Paddington 2 got a diss.
