2 days ago · Welcome to Rotten Tomatoes’ 100 best-reviewed classic movies of all time ranked by Tomatometer, featuring only the highest-rated Certified Fresh films! We define ‘classic’ as everything...
- Gone With The Wind (1939) Watch Now. The original "sweeping epic," this film stars Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara, the plucky Southern belle who romances Clark Gable's Rhett Butler against the backdrop of the Civil War.
- The Wizard of Oz (1939) Watch Now. There’s no place like home, and no classic movie as beloved as Dorothy’s adventures in Oz. The film left its imprint on the kinds of narratives and character types—wicked and good witches, scarecrows, tinmen, and cowardly lions, oh my—we see on film.
- Casablanca (1942) Watch Now. Casablanca is up there with the Godfather for most quoted screenplay of all time. This WWII classic, directed by Michael Curtiz, pairs Scandinavian beauty Ingrid Bergman with tough guy Humphrey Bogart for a story of lovers ripped apart by war and reunited in a far flung Moroccan piano bar—of all the gin joints in the world.

- The best classic movies of all time. Classic movies have a special place in our hearts. They’re trailblazers, of course—true originals that rank among the best movies of all time, have become cultural touchstones and set the bar for everything that follows.
- The Sound of Music. Released: 1965. Rated: G. Memorable quote: “Oh, no, sir. I’m sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle. Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me.
- Casablanca. Released: 1942. Rated: PG. Memorable quote: “Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.” A winner of three Oscars, including Best Picture, Casablanca has so much going for it, not the least of which are stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Released: 1961. Rated: Not rated. Memorable quote: “A girl can’t read that sort of thing without her lipstick.” Breakfast at Tiffany’s is to classic movies what Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress is to classic fashion.
