It’s impossible to get everyone to agree on what “the best” movie is. What a critic loves is often not what the audience craves. Still, thanks to review sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, you can get a pretty good idea of a film’s quality since they take both viewpoints into consideration. Business Insider used that Metacritic data to determine the most well-received movie for each year since 2000. Take a look below at some of the winners and check out Business Insider‘s post to see the rest.
