The review aggregator has published a list of 300 films, all of which are ‘Certified Fresh’ by reviewers.
The films are ranked using a combination of a movie’s Tomatometer rating (i.e. its performance according to critics) and its Audience Score.
Among the top 10 list, which spans eight decades of filmmaking, are five Academy Award Best Picture wins including Schindler’s List and Parasite, which NME gave five stars in its review.

However, first place on the list is taken by L.A. Confidential (1997), which missed out on the prestigious award, losing to James Cameron’s Titanic. The epic disaster film won 11 Oscars, but hasn’t been featured in Rotten Tomatoes’ top 300.
