While internet popularity can be a fickle and fleeting thing, in the case of IMDb, there are a few top-rated movies that tower above their rivals and stand the test of time. Moviegoers can rate the films they see on the website, and some are cemented as being at the top of their class. Seen by many as the go-to resource for film ratings and opinions, the ten most-voted films are usually, if not some of the best movies of all time.
*Availability in US Director Joe Russo , Anthony Russo Cast Chris Hemsworth , Anthony Mackie , Paul Rudd , Robert Downey Jr. , Scarlett Johansson , Mark Ruffalo , Evangeline Lilly , Sebastian Stan , Josh Brolin , Elizabeth Olsen , Tom Holland , Don Cheadle , Samuel L. Jackson , Bradley Cooper , Karen Gillan , Brie Larson , Paul Bettany , Chris Evans , Jeremy Renner , Chadwick Boseman Runtime 182 Minutes Expand 34. 'Back to the Future' Votes: 1.4 Million | IMDb Rating: 8.
Nearly all of the fundamental strengths and praises that are sung towards the original Godfather film can be similarly said about this masterfully crafted sequel, in some ways even going beyond the original film. The film is often right alongside its predecessor in conversations of the greatest films of all time, as well as easily being considered the greatest sequel of all time.
The Green Mile is often in conversation as one of the best period dramas of all time, with IMDb having similar levels of praise for the film, with it holding a spot as the #27 top-rated film of all time. This high status has resulted in more and more eyes being brought to the masterful piece of filmmaking, made even further by the fact that director Frank Darabont is also known for directing another one of IMDb's highest-rated films .
Being the first installment in what would become one of the longest-running and widely acclaimed cinematic franchises of all time, it's no question that A New Hope would receive so much attention and praise from IMDb users. While other Star Wars films and series may have higher average IMDb ratings, A New Hope's status as the first installment ends up drawing in the most attention when it comes to new viewers as well as those reexperiencing the franchise as a whole.
While Scorsese has certainly had higher-rated and more beloved films both before and since Shutter Island, its timing of release, all-star cast, and mystery element have helped it find a massive audience on IMDb. The film's 2010 release coincides with the most popular era of the site's history, bringing many eyes to the newest release from one of the most beloved and acclaimed directors of all time following up on his legendary Best Picture win, The Departed.
Hopkins' performance as the brilliant psychiatrist and notorious cannibal helps cement the character as a pop culture icon. The timeless film's cat-and-mouse game between Clarice and Lecter, coupled with Buffalo Bill's gruesome crimes, creates a suspenseful atmosphere that's still just as riveting upon a well-deserved rewatch today. The votes on IMDb prove that Silence of the Lambs deserves all the praise it received.
The 2005 movie would mark an important turn in the superhero genre, proving that blockbusters can be infused with gritty realism and psychological depth, particularly for the iconic character it portrays. Its depiction of Batman's journey from a traumatized orphan to the caped crusader captures the character's complexities and inner turmoil with ease, laying the groundwork for what many still consider to be the best film series that depicts the anti-hero.
*Availability in US Release Date December 25, 2012 Director Quentin Tarantino Cast Leonardo DiCaprio , Jonah Hill , Samuel L. Jackson , Jamie Foxx , Kerry Washington , Christoph Waltz Runtime 165 Minutes 14. 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' Votes: 1.8 Million | IMDb Rating: 8.8 It's hard to call any of director Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movies bad, but if fans had to pick the weakest entry in the trilogy, it would probably be The Two Towers.
This film holds a three-way tie for the most-awarded film in Oscars history, with Ben-Hur and Titanic all sharing the illustrious honor of taking home 11 awards. Perhaps as much an acknowledgment by the academy of the monumental achievement the trilogy as a whole was, The Return of the King also marked one of the rare times in history where the big winner was an epic, crowd-pleasing fantasy film.
Interstellar hit every mark, from its stunning visual effects and commendable scientific accuracy to its outstanding performances and surprising emotional depth. Alongside its epic intergalactic story, it tells a more intimate father-daughter narrative that eventually influences Cooper's mission.
