2018 has been a massive year for movies, from superhero blockbusters like “Black Panther” to cultural phenomena like “Crazy Rich Asians” and critically acclaimed documentaries like “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”.
Now, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has unveiled its “Cerified Fresh” list, revealing the best-reviewed films of 2018. The website determines an aggregate score based on a set number of reviews and declares a film “certified fresh” if it reaches 75% or higher.
Almost 200 movies were labelled “certified fresh” in 2018, including “Paddington 2”, which tops the list as the best-reviewed film with an approval rating of 100%.
Debra Granik’s drama “Leave No Trace”, starring Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie, is the second-best-reviewed film of the year with a 100% score.

“Crazy Rich Asians”, which became the highest-grossing studio rom-com in almost a decade, placed at No. 79 with a 91% fresh rating.
