100% on Rotten Tomatoes? Watch These 5 Must-See Netflix Movies

In a world where even sunsets get three-star reviews, a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes is rarer than a spoiler-free Marvel premiere. It means every single professional critic, yes, even the one who thinks everything peaked with Citizen Kane, agreed that the film was worth your time. This does not mean the movie is flawless, but it does mean it somehow escaped the wrath of the eternally unimpressed, which brings us, naturally, to a surprising little corner of Netflix.

Netflix, ever the unpredictable host, has quietly collected films that earned this rare unanimous critical praise.

1. The Summit of the Gods

Based on the manga of the same name by Jirō Taniguchi and the novel by Baku Yumemakura, The Summit of the Gods is a breathtaking animated film that follows Japanese photojournalist Fukamachi as he stumbles upon a mysterious camera that may solve one of mountaineering’s oldest mysteries, whether George Mallory reached the summit of Everest before his death. Directed by Patrick Imbert, the film blends meditative pacing with high-altitude obsession, rendered in such stunning animation it feels like a love letter to snow.

What makes this film unusual is its refusal to glamorize danger while still reveling in it. With no monsters, magical realism, or ice-fighting yaks, it still manages to be intense. The film received critical praise for its visuals, existential themes, and psychological nuance. If frostbite had a poetic adaptation, it might look like this: hypothermic, haunting, and strangely heroic.

2. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Before Geralt sulked his way into our hearts, there was Vesemir, a charming, coin-loving Witcher voiced by Theo James in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. Directed by Kwang Il Han and written by Beau DeMayo, this animated prequel dives into the origins of Kaer Morhen and the brutal politics that shaped the world of monster slaying. The animation is slick, bloody, and unapologetically bold, mixing anime-style flair with political treachery and emotional gut-punches.

While the creative force behind Henry Cavill’s brooding brilliance gears up to rescue Liam Hemsworth’s future as Geralt, this is no routine monster-mashing spectacle. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf dares to ask what defines a Witcher, what remains of their humanity, and whether both can truly coexist. The film was praised for expanding The Witcher universe with sophistication and style, managing to be a prequel that stands taller than many sequels.

3. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

Feathers McGraw has returned, and frankly, the penguin is still terrifying. In Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, the eccentric inventor Wallace, voiced by Ben Whitehead, and his ever-suffering canine companion Gromit face their old adversary in a story involving foul play, mechanical marvels, and far more breakfast-related chaos than anyone requested. The stop-motion animation remains handcrafted perfection, proving that clay still trumps pixels when British mischief is involved.

Aardman Animations continues to prove that Wallace and Gromit’s charm is immune to time, CGI trends, or common sense. Directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, this delightful sequel is filled with sly gags, absurd contraptions, and a silent dog with more emotional range than most live-action stars. The critical reception was unanimously glowing because, frankly, it is hard to dislike a movie where the villain is a mute criminal bird with perfect posture.

4. The Pez Outlaw

The Pez Outlaw sounds fictional, but it is a documentary about Steve Glew, a Midwestern father who turned smuggling Pez dispensers into a real underground business. Directed by Amy Bandlien Storkel and Bryan Storkel, the film mixes reenactments and interviews to recount how Glew outwitted the U.S. Pez Corporation by importing rare dispensers from Eastern Europe in the 1990s. The stakes are plastic, the players are absurd, and yet the tension is absolutely real.

What elevates this tale of sweet crime is its blend of whimsical storytelling and genuine heart. Glew is not presented as a criminal mastermind, but rather as a sugar-coated folk hero with a beard and a dream. The film was a hit on the festival circuit and charmed critics with its oddball sincerity. It proves that even black-market candy rings deserve cinematic treatment when the mustaches and motives are this good.

5. Tell Them You Love Me

Directed by Nick August-Perna, Tell Them You Love Me is a gripping documentary about the real-life relationship between Anna Stubblefield, a Rutgers University professor, and Derrick Johnson, a man with cerebral palsy who was under her academic care. What begins as a complex bond spirals into an explosive legal and ethical scandal. The film explores autonomy, consent, and power dynamics with rare restraint, letting the disturbing nature of the story speak louder than any narration.

There is no neat resolution here, only questions. How do institutions respond to grey areas? Who gets to speak for whom? Critics praised the film for its sensitivity, moral complexity, and its refusal to spoon-feed the audience. This is not an easy watch, nor should it be. It is documentary storytelling at its most raw, unsettling, and urgent, one that respects the viewer enough not to offer comfort.
