Movie night: Here are the 25 best films of the past 25 years
It’s fair to say that we’re in a golden age of cinema right now. With blockbusters such as Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible and Barbie bursting onto the big screen recently, movie fans have never been more spoilt for choice.
So, with that in mind, how can you try to narrow down the best movies of all time? Well, a group of film critics have done just that!
Critic website Rotten Tomatoes is known for being many viewers’ go-to in order to find out if a film is worth watching. The service first launched in August 1998, and just last year, Rotten Tomatoes marked its 25th anniversary.
To celebrate the occasion, the team contacted their approved Tomatometer critics and asked them to name, in no particular order, their top five favourite movies of the last 25 years.
Rotten Tomatoes subsequently compiled the selections and filtered them into a final list. There is a whole range of genres in here – everything from intense action and thrillers, to thought-provoking flicks and even a family favourite!
