Ah, that coveted Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes! It’s no easy feat to get that stamp on your film. The movie website explains that films must have a steady Tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide-release movies, 40 for limited-release movies, 20 for TV shows), including 5 reviews from Top Critics, in order to get that pretty little badge.
We’ve collected the distinguished films that have indeed achieved this status and are currently available for your viewing pleasure on Netflix. From some old-school classics you should catch up on (before Hollywood inevitably remakes them, natch), to some of the most important and inspirational documentaries of the decade, there is something for everyone in this special and select group of films.
Settle in for a night of the most universally and critically-loved films currently available on the streaming platform and see if you agree. Then you can go ahead and recommend them to a friend and show off your impeccably fantastic taste — after all, at least 5 Top Critics are on board! You might get teary, giggly, and even a little bit dizzy, but it’s all in the name of taking in the absolute best films the world of Netflix has to offer.
