Impossible for me to prune a list down to 25 (or to 100, for that matter), but I must say you surprised me with this one. Rare taste, @DrBloodmoney! (Even though now, thanks to you, I’m stuck with 99 Luftballons for the rest of the evening :D).

So, about 10 years ago, I started ranking every movie I watch on iMDb. That makes this list pretty easy to make (but it does mean it's restricted to only movies I've watched in the past decade).

 

Coincidentally, I have 25 movies I've given a perfect score to. I'll just list them in alphabetical order:

  1. Braveheart
  2. Coraline
  3. Creed II
  4. Everybody's Fine
  5. Forrest Gump
  6. Gone Girl
  7. Goodfellas
  8. Gran Torino
  9. Groundhog Day
  10. Inside Out
  11. Jerry Maguire
  12. Kingsman: The Secret Service
  13. Knives Out
  14. La La Land
  15. Moana
  16. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
  17. Pitch Perfect
  18. Pitch Perfect 2
  19. Rocky
  20. Rocky II
  21. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
  22. The Dark Knight
  23. Wonder
  24. Wreck-It Ralph
  25. Zootopia

There are several older animated movies that would make the list (e.g. The Lion King, Tangled, Toy Story), but that would require me rewatching them. I don't think it's fair to rate a movie retroactively.
