These 5 Films Received a Unique 100% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes — Including a Legendary Soviet Classic

In a world where even the finest films are criticised for runtime, endings, or performances, scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes is almost a miracle. And staying at that level for decades — pure magic. We've chosen five films from the 'flawless club', and each of them deserves a standing ovation. Watch them — with biscuits, a blanket, and a willingness to relive everything you thought you'd already processed.

Stalker: philosophy behind a rusty fence

Andrei Tarkovsky knew how to turn every puddle into a mirror for the soul. In Stalker, he sends three men into the Zone — but really into themselves. This film isn't about the destination; it’s about the journey: long, viscous, like a dream under morphine. The Zone lures, promises to grant wishes, but first it breaks you down to atoms — and forces you to rebuild.

Some might say it’s slow. But the truth is, Stalker isn’t watched with the eyes — it’s felt with the nervous system.

Grave of the Fireflies: an anime that leaves you breathless

One of the most brutal animated films of all time — because it's not fantasy, but nearly documentary. A little boy and his sister in World War II Japan, surrounded by ash, hunger, and loneliness. No filters, no embellishments. Just truth.

And then — fireflies in a jar. Sweet rice in imagination. An empty tin lunchbox. Grave of the Fireflies doesn’t ask for sympathy — it tears it out of you.

Before Sunrise: one conversation that changes everything

A night in Vienna. He’s American, she’s French. They talk. That’s all. And every word is like a step on thin ice between romance and eternity. Richard Linklater weaves a film out of air and intonation — and it becomes something you fall in love with not instantly, but forever.

There’s no plot, but there are feelings. And a dance to a street organ. And a glance no one can repeat. One day more important than many years.

12 Angry Men: the whole world in one room

A film where the action never leaves the jury room — but the tension breaks all boundaries. Henry Fonda asks a simple question: "What if he’s innocent?" — and a storm begins. Here, beliefs crumble, masks fall, and each character becomes more than just a juror — a symbol.

This isn’t drama — it’s a diagnosis of society, written in a sharp, brilliant script. One of those films that make you want to argue, not scroll past.

Toy Story: a cartoon that makes adults cry quieter than kids

Pixar’s first full-length film — and straight into eternity. Woody and Buzz are toys, but more human than many Oscar-winning characters. They fight, become friends, learn to let go, and realise that being needed is what matters most.

The world of Toy Story is as bright as candy wrapping — and as bitter as growing up. It’s not just a cartoon; it’s a real farewell to childhood — and a handshake with hope.
