Positive Messages

The movie is more of an explainer about Priscilla's story than it is a vehicle for messages. But the stages of grooming are clearly seen, which might help teens understand the warning signs.

Positive Role Models

This is the story of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, who's also an executive producer, and it's adapted from her autobiography, so it's not objective (nor is it intended to be). Priscilla is depicted as being on an island, alone and without guidance starting from a young age. She's in a controlling and in some ways abusive relationship that involves a grave power imbalance, but she eventually chooses herself. The movie isn't focused on judgment or condemnation of Elvis' behavior, or for that of Priscilla's parents, who allowed her to date the world's biggest celebrity when she was only 14.

Diverse Representations

This is a female-driven story made by female filmmakers, and the main character is portrayed as a complex woman who succeeds despite challenges and having her agency limited by the influence of a very powerful man. Demonstrates the power imbalance between an influential, wealthy, well-connected male celebrity and the teen fans (largely girls) who adore him and how the unearned trust that comes from that fantasy was, in this case, exploited. Main characters are White.

Violence & Scariness

During a rage, a large object is thrown at someone. Aggressive marital interaction that starts to look like it's turning into sexual assault, but when the husband is told to stop, he does. Guns are carried around and shot off, and teen Priscilla carries a handgun. Elvis starts dating Priscilla when he's 24 and she's 14.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

Teenage Priscilla, who started dating Elvis at 14 and moved in with him at 17, is shown in nighties and lingerie and sleeps next to him, but the film indicates that they don't have sex until she's graduated high school and is 18. He's shown spurning her sexual advances, despite her advocation for her own sexual needs. Conversations and allusions to Elvis' affairs with other women. Double entendres.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking

LSD trip is portrayed as strengthening characters' bond. Constant pill-popping, including Elvis giving uppers and downers to a teenage Priscilla, who begins taking them on her own accord. While she isn't seen as developing a dependency, viewers do see Elvis in a more wrecked state from drug use. Drinking throughout.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Priscilla is the authorized biopic of Priscilla Presley 's life with Elvis , adapted from her 1985 autobiography Elvis and Me. Sofia Coppola directs it as a Camelot-era princess story, in which a young teen girl ( Cailee Spaeny ) is selected by "The King" ( Jacob Elordi ) to be his wife, becoming the queen of rock and roll after undergoing the requisite trials. Priscilla's life events, while unveiled matter-of-factly, may leave some viewers aghast. Elvis' courtship of his "child bride" often feels like a highlight reel of the stages of grooming (which could make it a good cautionary tale for teens). At the same time, Priscilla's story isn't black and white, it's complex -- which could also lead to great discussion. The movie includes conversations about sex and affairs, but physical interaction is mostly kissing in bed, with Priscilla wearing lingerie (she's said multiple times that she and Elvis didn't have sex until their wedding day when she was 22). Much later in life, sex between them is initiated with such aggression that it borders on assault, but when she says no, he stops. Pill-popping, including by teenage Priscilla, is constant, and there's drinking, smoking, and language ("goddamn," "f--king") throughout.

Priscilla Is An Amazing Movie

What's the story.

PRISCILLA Beaulieu ( Cailee Spaeny ) is a 14-year-old high school freshman when she meets the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley ( Jacob Elordi ), who's instantly charmed by her. During their seven-year courtship, she's brought into his glamorous world of fame, fortune, and fun, but she slowly begins to realize that not all that glitters is gold. The movie was adapted from Priscilla Presley's 1985 autobiography Elvis and Me.

Is It Any Good?

This chewy, conversation-inspiring biopic of Priscilla Beaulieu would be more aptly titled Mrs. Presley . Because it's not about who Priscilla is originally or who she becomes later, but rather who she was in the 14 years that she was in a romantic relationship with the world's biggest rock star. Priscilla isn't about her personality, but rather, how it was shaped -- and perhaps shuttered -- through a controlling relationship that had incredible highs but ultimately limited her agency to the point that she wasn't even supposed to have an opinion. The poodle puppy that Elvis gives her as a gift is symbolic of how he sees and treats her: She's an accessory pet, a companion who complements his image but needs to be trained and kept in line. Like the heroine of a Grimm story, she's kept in the palace under the thumb of a domineering man, unable to forge her own way or develop her own identity. And she ultimately realizes that the fantasy of being rock and roll royalty is no fairy tale.

While it's perhaps not the breast-thumper of female empowerment that some women (at least this one) might have been hoping for, Priscilla is an unvarnished primer for what grooming looks like. All of the signs are present and accounted in Elvis' behavior. The film helps viewers understand why the parent of a 14-year-old girl would ever allow her to go to parties, date, and move in with someone 10 years her senior. And there's no way not to understand how a ninth grader would quickly fall under the spell of the world's biggest, most singularly successful, and most sexually alluring celebrity of the era. As he chips away at her voice, reducing her to the point that she accepts his affairs and other unacceptable behavior, we get her. That said, it feels disappointing that the film doesn't even offer a final-frame caption to reflect the joy and success she found on her own, once she was no longer Mrs. Presley. Secrets are revealed in the film, but who Priscilla really is remains a mystery.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about what it was like to be female in the early 1960s, particularly in the United States, and how the era's social allowances, expectations, and rules guided the life of Priscilla Beaulieu. How are things different today? How are they the same?

Do you consider Elvis and Priscilla's relationship to be a true love story or more problematic? Was their age difference and power imbalance acceptable at the time? Should that matter? What is grooming? What is coercion? What are the warning signs?

How does Priscilla compare to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis or other depictions of the couple? Why is it important for her story to be told?

Are drugs, drinking, or smoking glamorized? Are there realistic consequences? Why does that matter? How did Elvis' drug dependency impact his career?

Does Priscilla shatter the myth of the fairy tale romance? How does entertainment impact our own beliefs of what love looks like?

The R-rated movie has been a moviegoing constant since 1968, when the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) created the modern rating system.

R of course stands for “Restricted,” which initially meant “Persons under 16 not admitted, unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian.” That age threshold was upped to 17 in 1970.

We’ve had movies rated R (and G, for general audiences) in every iteration of the rating system. The two other ratings during the first two years of the system (1968-70) were M (“Suggested for mature audiences – parental discretion advised”) and X (“Persons under 16 not admitted”).

The three other ratings under the current system are PG (Parental Guidance Suggested), PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned) and NC-17 (adults only).

The modern ratings system was created in 1968 to replace the Motion Picture Production Code, also known as the “Hays Code” – which had been in place since 1930. Such ground-breaking films as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Blow-Up (both 1966) made the old code seem archaic. Jack Valenti, who had become president of the MPAA in May 1966, took the lead in creating a new system. On Nov. 1, 1968, the voluntary MPAA film rating system took effect. (The MPAA became the MPA in 2019 when they dropped the word America from their name.)

Let’s take a look at the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time, according to boxofficemojo.com. All of the films in the top 10 are from this century, which makes sense, owing to higher ticket prices. To give you an idea of the popular R-rated films from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, we looked deeper on the boxofficemojo.com list. Here are the top three R-rated films, in descending order, from each of those decades.

1970s: The Exorcist (1973), National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978), The Godfather (1972)

1980s: Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Rain Man (1988), Fatal Attraction (1987)

1990s: Saving Private Ryan (1998), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Pretty Woman (1990)

A current hit, Oppenheimer , has already made this list. It also surpassed Bad Boys for Life to become the top-grossing R-rated film of the 2020s. (No. 3 for the decade: John Wick: Chapter 4 .)

Todd Phillips directed three of 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all-time – the first two films in The Hangover trilogy and Joker . Bradley Cooper starred in three of the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time – the first two Hangover films and American Sniper . (Movie buffs should check out our lists of the top 10 box-office hits of 2023 and the 30 highest-grossing films directed or co-directed by women. Spoiler alert: Barbie heads both lists.)

Here are the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time, according to boxofficemojo.com.

The Hangover Part II

Domestic gross: $254.5 million

Release date: May 26,2011

Oscar nominations: none

Director: Todd Phillips

Music: Christophe Beck

Notes:  This is the highest-grossing R-rated sequel to a comedy, surpassing Beverly Hills Cop II (1987). ( Deadpool and its sequel have comedy elements, but are classified here as action films.) Development on this sequel began in April 2009, two months before  The Hangover  was released. Paul Giamatti joined the returning cast. The sequel tells the story of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Doug (Justin Bartha) as they travel to Thailand for Stu’s wedding. Though you might have expected that they had learned their lesson from their misadventures in the first film, things go awry. (What are the odds?!)

While The Hangover was considered fresh and funny, The Hangover Part II received mixed to negative reviews. Still, it became a hit. A third and final installment,  The Hangover Part III , was released on May 23, 2013. It did less well than the first two, grossing $112.2 million in the U.S.

The Hangover

Domestic gross: $277.3 million

Release date: June 5,2009

Notes: The Hangover was a critical and commercial success. It won the Golden Globe Award for best motion picture – musical or comedy, besting ( 500) Days of Summer, It’s Complicated, Julie & Julia and Nine . It became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the U.S., surpassing Beverly Hills Cop  (1984), which had held the record for almost 25 years. Before that, it was held by National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978).

Boxofficemojo.com further classifies The Hangover as the top-rated “bawdy comedy.” The first two The Hangover films are followed on that list by Wedding Crashers , 22 Jump Street , There’s Something About Mary and Bridesmaids . The latter film seems like an all-female equivalent to The Hangover , in showing that women could be just as outrageous as men in going all out for laughs.

The Matrix Reloaded

Domestic gross: $281.6 million

Release date: May 15,2003

Director: The Wachowskis

Music: Don Davis

Notes: The Wachowkis wrote and directed this science-fiction action film, which did even better than The Matrix (1999), which grossed $172.1 million domestically. Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving and Gloria Foster reprised their roles from the previous film, while Jada Pinkett Smith joined the cast. A sequel, The Matrix Revolutions , released six months later, grossed $139.3 million.

Lana Wachowsk and Lilly Wachowski wrote and directed the first three films in The Matrix franchise. The sisters are both trans women. Lana Wachowksi also directed the fourth film in the franchise, The Matrix Resurrections (2021). It did less well than the first three films, grossing $37.7 million domestically.

Oppenheimer

Domestic gross: $299.2 million

Release date: July 21,2023

Oscar nominations: to be determined

Director: Christopher Nolan

Music: Ludwig Göransson

Notes: This thriller was based on the 2005 biography  American Prometheus , which chronicles the career of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. It’s the first of three films on this list that tell the stories of real-life historical figures. Still to come on the list: films about Iraq War sniper Chris Kyle and Jesus Christ.

Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy as the title character; Emily Blunt as his wife, “Kitty”; Matt Damon as Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project; Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a member of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission; and Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock, a member of the Communist Party USA.

Oppenheimer  is Nolan’s first film to receive an R-rating in the U.S. since  Insomnia  in 2002.

Domestic gross: $324.6 million

Release date: May 18, 2018

Director: David Leitch

Music: Tyler Bates                                                               

Notes: This is the highest-grossing R-rated sequel, topping The Matrix Reloaded . Plans for a sequel to  Deadpool  began before the original film’s release, and were confirmed in February 2016. Tim Miller, who directed the first Deadpool , left the project in October 2016 due to creative differences with star, co-producer and co-writer Ryan Reynolds, and was replaced by Leitch. An extensive casting search took place to fill the role of Cable, with Josh Brolin ultimately landing the role.

A sequel,  Deadpool 3 , which will integrate the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is set for release on May 3, 2024.

Domestic gross: $328.9 million

Release date: Sept. 8, 2017

Director: Andy Muschietti

Music: Benjamin Wallfisch

Notes: It  (titled onscreen as  It Chapter One ) was the first of a two-part adaptation of the 1986 novel of the same name by Stephen King. Set in Derry, Maine, the film stars Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård. 

Director Muschietti has spoken of drawing inspiration from 1980s films such as  The Howling  (1981),  The Thing  (1982),  The Goonies  (1985),  Stand by Me  (1986) and  Near Dark  (1987), and cited the influence of Steven Spielberg. It is the highest-grossing horror film of all time, breaking a record that had been held since the 1970s by The Exorcist . The second film,  It Chapter Two , was released on Sept. 6, 2019, covering the remaining story from the book. It was also a smash, grossing $211.6 million domestically.

Domestic gross: $335.5 million

Release date: Oct. 4, 2019

Oscar nominations: 11, including three for Todd Phillips (best picture, directing, adapted screenplay). 2 wins (best actor for Joaquin Phoenix, best original score)

Music: Hildur Guðnadóttir

Notes: This is the third film on this list directed by Phillips, following the first two installments of The Hangover franchise. This film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as Joker. Set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed clown and aspiring stand-up comic who descends into mental illness and nihilism.

Phillips conceived  Joker  in 2016 and wrote the script with Scott Silver throughout 2017. The two were inspired by the films of Martin Scorsese. Joker  is the first live-action theatrical  Batman  film to receive an R rating. A sequel,  Joker: Folie à Deux , with Lady Gaga joining the cast , is set for release on Oct. 4, 2024. Bradley Cooper, Gaga’s co-star in A Star Is Born , is co-producing Joker: Folie à Deux , as he did The Joker .

American Sniper

Domestic gross: $350.2 million

Release date: Dec. 25, 2014

Oscar nominations: 6 – best picture, best actor (Bradley Cooper), adapted screenplay, film editing, sound editing, sound mixing

Director: Clint Eastwood

Music: see note below

Notes: This film was loosely based on the memoir  American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History  (2012) by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice. Kyle became the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history with 255 kills from four tours of duty in the Iraq War. As the film illustrates, those tours took a heavy toll on Kyle’s personal and family life. The film stars Bradley Cooper as Kyle and Sienna Miller as his wife Taya.

There is no “Music by” credit on this film. Director Eastwood is credited as the composer of “Taya’s Theme.” Joseph S. DeBeasi is credited as composer of additional music and as music editor. The film also features Van Morrison’s “Someone Like You,” which plays during a wedding scene, and Ennio Morricone’s “The Funeral.”

Domestic gross: $363.1 million

Release date: Feb. 12, 2016

Director: Tim Miller

Music: Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL)

Notes: Deadpool  stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role alongside Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano and Brianna Hildebrand. In the film, Wade Wilson hunts the man who gave him mutant abilities and a scarred physical appearance, becoming the antihero Deadpool. This film marked Miller’s feature directorial debut.

Development of a Deadpool film starring Reynolds began in February 2004, five years before he played the character in  X-Men Origins: Wolverine . A sequel,  Deadpool 2 , was released in 2018 to comparable critical and commercial success. Deadpool 3 , a third film starring Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, is scheduled for release on May 3, 2024.

The Passion of the Christ

Domestic gross: $370.8 million

Release date: Feb. 25, 2004

Oscar nominations: 3 – original score, cinematography, makeup

Director: Mel Gibson

Music: John Debney

Notes:   Gibson produced, directed and co-wrote this Biblical drama, which starred Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth; Maia Morgenstern as Mary, mother of Jesus; and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. The dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. Although Gibson was initially against it, the film is subtitled.

The film primarily covers the final 12 hours before Jesus Christ’s death, a period known as “the Passion.” Some regarded the film as a religious and holy experience, while others found it to be antisemitic and excessive in its graphic violence. A sequel is in development, centering on the resurrection of Jesus.

10 Great R-Rated Movies That Sadly Bombed At The Box Office

Posted: October 31, 2023 | Last updated: November 4, 2023

• R-rated movies often struggle at the box office, as family-friendly films have broader appeal. But some R-rated films, like Oppenheimer and Joker, are exceptional despite their limited success.
• Many successful R-rated movies find recognition through cult followings, DVD releases, or streaming. These films may not have box office success but still connect with viewers and earn critical acclaim.
• Factors like poor marketing, competition with other films, divisive reviews, and unconventional subject matter can contribute to the box office failure of otherwise great R-rated movies, such as The Big Lebowski and The Shawshank Redemption.

R-rated movies don't typically perform well at the box office, and some of the best were complete bombs. Many of the highest-grossing films ever made are light-hearted, family-friendly movies like Pixar films or Barbie as a recent example. These stories appeal to widespread audiences and transform the movie-going experience into a fun event for all ages. R-rated movies tend to have a more limited appeal, as the films touch on darker, more mature subject material. Regardless of their commercial success, many R-rated movies have been regarded as great films, earning critical acclaim and Award success.

With Oppenheimer and Joker being key examples, some of the highest-grossing R-rated movies ever are excellent films, but these are rare standouts. Typically, a film has to make roughly 2.5x its budget to break even, and only two of the 100 highest-grossing films ever are R-rated. However, there are other avenues for films to be considered successful than just their box office. Many great R-rated movies are considered cult classics and have earned recognition in their subsequent DVD or streaming releases, allowing them to find the viewership they deserve.

RELATED: The 50 Best Movies Of All Time - Screen Rant

The Thing (1982)

Budget: $15 million, box office: $19.6 million.

The 1980s were a fantastic era for science fiction fans, with great films like The Empire Strikes Back , Back to the Future , and The Terminator releasing almost every year. The Thing deserves to be considered among those films, with John Carpenter bringing his monster/horror movie prowess to the genre to make a unique and thrilling sci-fi experience. Unfortunately, the film flopped due to competition with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial which explored similar ideas about alien visitation from a more optimistic perspective. The Thing did not have the positive vibes to impress the summer of '82, but it lives on as a celebrated cult classic.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

Budget: $150-185 million, box office: $267.7 million.

While the original Blade Runner wasn't a huge box-office hit, the 2017 sequel is considered a major bomb compared to its massive budget. Regardless, both films are considered some of the best sci-fi movies of all time . Blade Runner 2049 has earned a cult following since its release and is heavily praised for its vibrant visuals and portrayal of the cyberpunk style. While sci-fi epics tend to perform well, the Blade Runner films are far slower and more melancholic than a franchise like Star Wars . 2049 is a deeply moving and important film, but it's not the fun and adventure type of sci-fi that sells out theaters.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

Budget: $190 million, box office: $159 million.

The Matrix Resurrections isn't the best film in The Matrix saga, and it's one of the lesser Keanu Reeves sequels . The film was met with divisive reviews off the bat and failed financially in comparison to its predecessors. Despite the poor reviews, The Matrix Resurrections is undeniably a visual spectacle and approaches the franchise from a refreshing perspective. The reason for its box office failure is due to the film's release on HBO Max shortly after. The movie was primarily a streaming release and its box office run was also negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mulholland Drive (2001)

Budget: $15 million, box office: $20.1 million.

David Lynch is one of the greatest filmmakers ever, and Mulholland Drive is his magnum opus of movies. Lynch's projects have never been commercially successful, with his filmography making just over $120 million worldwide throughout his career. Mulholland Drive is a surrealist masterpiece of independent filmmaking, blending experimental ideas with mainstream elements of horror and mystery. The 2001 classic is incredibly dark, and the plot is incoherent at first glance, likely alienating many casual movie audiences. The low budget also resulted in a lack of public awareness of the film.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

Budget: $15 million, box office: $46.7 million.

The Big Lebowski is a classic that has earned recognition over time, with Jeff Bridges' The Dude being one of the most quotable movie characters ever . The Coen Brothers' films have never been major box-office hits, but The Big Lebowski's comedic premise could have had a similar appeal to films like The Hangover , but the film wasn't marketed well. The original trailers were incoherent and messy, failing to capture the brilliance of what the movie is about. Also, the early critic reviews for The Big Lebowski were mixed, limiting the initial appeal. Despite its rough start, the film is considered one of the funniest movies ever.

Dazed And Confused (1993)

Budget: $6.9 million, box office: $8 million.

Dazed and Confused is a '90s teen movie cult classic with some stellar performances from would-be stars like Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey. The Richard Linklater film was made on a small budget, starring primarily unknown actors at the time, and wasn't promoted heavily enough to have immediate financial success. Through decades of home video purchases, Dazed and Confused has probably made back that money, as it's one of the best high-school movies of all time .

Blow Out (1981)

Budget: $18 million, box office: $13.8 million.

Blow Out is one of the less popular R-rated bombs, but it's a great film that deserved more recognition at the time and deserves more recognition now. From the director who made Scarface , Mission: Impossible , and The Untouchables , Blow Out is Brian De Palma's best film , telling a tense and thrilling crime mystery story with a shocking and powerful ending. Starring John Travolta, Blow Out's box office disappointment is likely due to the cynical nature of the film and its commentary on the entertainment industry.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Budget: $25 million, box office: $28.4 million.

The Shawshank Redemption is considered one of the greatest films ever, but it flopped at the box office for multiple reasons. The 1994 classic was released the same year as all-time classics like Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump , and the film's darker, bleak subject about prison life made it less appealing to general movie-goers. The Shawshank Redemption even lost the Best Picture Academy Award to Forrest Gump , which is still a debated topic among film fans. The movie's confusing title, lack of female characters, and prison story gave it rough edges at first, but it still proved to be a critically acclaimed masterpiece.

Fight Club (1999)

Budget: $67 million, box office: $101.2 million.

Fight Club is one of the more surprising box office bombs in film history, as the film became so popular in the vernacular that it's still quoted frequently over two decades later. The David Fincher classic originally received mixed reviews from critics and competed for box office success in a year that had The Phantom Menace and The Matrix . Fortunately, DVD releases and TV broadcasts allowed Fight Club to reach audiences, becoming one of the most well-known films of the era.

Babylon (2022)

Budget: $110 million, box office: $63.4 million.

Babylon was a divisive film in 2022 and fell short of many of its initially anticipated award successes and commercial earnings. Babylon is a crazy mess about the film industry in the 1920s, but that's the beauty of it. It's fast-paced, visceral, beautifully choreographed and performed, and has a stunning film score that's consistent with Damien Chazelle's previous projects. Babylon feels like a strange mix of La La Land and Boogie Nights , but its long run time, poor critic reviews, and vague marketing kept viewers from catching the movie in theaters.

‘X’ Review: Trash, Art and the Movies

Ti West’s latest is a slasher film about the making of a porno film, but the result might not be what you expect.

• Share full article

By A.O. Scott

“X” is a clever and exuberant throwback to a less innocent time, when movies could be naughty, disreputable and idiosyncratic. Two kinds of movie in particular: the dirty kind and the scary kind. Set in 1979, before the internet made pornography ubiquitous and before anyone was pontificating about “elevated horror,” this sly and nasty picture insists that the flesh and blood of down-and-dirty entertainment is, literally, flesh and blood.

Not that the director, Ti West, is simply replicating the cheap, tawdry thrills of the olden days. West, whose earlier features include “The House of the Devil” and “The Sacrament,” is both a canny craftsman and a genre intellectual. In the midst of the sex and slaughter, he conducts an advanced seminar on visual pleasure and narrative cinema.

And also a brief course in film history, with particular attention to “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and shout-outs to “Psycho” and “Debbie Does Dallas.” That X-rated landmark (later adapted into an Off Broadway musical ) provides inspiration for the six Texans who show up at a decrepit farmstead to shoot a hard-core oeuvre called “The Farmer’s Daughters.” The actual farmer, an apparently childless geezer named Howard (Stephen Ure), has rented them a bunkhouse on his property. He and his wife live in the creaky, creepy main house.

The cast and crew consists of three performers — two women and a man, the classic heterosexual porn ratio — a director, a technician and a swaggering entrepreneur who claims the title of executive producer. This guy, Wayne (Martin Henderson), is also romantically attached to one of the stars, Maxine (Mia Goth), who dreams of the Hollywood big time. Her veteran co-stars, Bobby-Lynne (Brittany Snow) and Jackson (Scott Mescudi, also known as the rapper Kid Cudi), are also a couple, as are RJ (Owen Campbell), the director, and Lorraine (Jenna Ortega), who handles the sound and is, at least for a while, the designated prude.

Since “X” is a slasher film, it’s not spoiling anything to note that most of these people will not make it out alive. An ax, a pitchfork and a shotgun are all in easy reach, and for good measure there’s an alligator in the pond. Howard and his wife, Pearl, give off sinister vibes, and West’s knack for zooming, cutting, manipulating point of view and layering sinister sounds creates an unmistakable anticipation of doom.

But the sequence of deaths, the motives for the mayhem and the identity of the survivor may not quite match your expectations. Most notably, the old circuitry connecting horror and female sexuality — canonically diagramed in Carol J. Clover’s 1992 study “Men, Women and Chain Saws” — has been rewired. By the time it’s all over, the film has moved out of period pastiche into interesting new territory, exposing a feminist dimension in the horror tradition that may have been there all along. (Since West is reportedly already at work on a prequel, further exploration may be in store.)

In the meantime, you can sample the familiar, trashy pleasures of sin and skin, with a piquant sprinkling of meta. This is a movie about moviemaking, after all, like “Argo” or “Day for Night” or “Singin’ in the Rain,” and as such it teases the viewer with knowing winks and easy-access insider references.

Many of these come at poor RJ’s expense. With his stringy hair, wispy beard and wet-noodle physique, he’s a film-nerd caricature. He wants to bring experimental techniques — “the way they do in France” — to “The Farmer’s Daughters,” and worries Wayne with his commitment to the avant-garde. Still, he’s not entirely a satirical scapegoat. His sensitivity about the kind of movie he’s actually making (especially once Lorraine sheds her disapproval) isn’t played for laughs. His toast “to independent cinema” is a punchline, but it could also be West’s motto.

When RJ argues against the importance of plot, he has a point, one West both upholds and challenges. Horror and hard-core both use narrative as a flimsy excuse to show the audience the action it really came to see. And while the sex in “X” is strictly R-rated, the movie isn’t shy about appealing to voyeurism. There’s nothing coy or arty about the bloodletting.

The twists of the story — the shifts in attention from Wayne and Maxine and their colleagues to Howard and Pearl — are hardly arbitrary. West, unlike his pornographers, has things to say as well as bodies to show. Most of all, he has an aesthetic that isn’t all about terror or titillation. “X” is full of dreamy, haunting overhead shots and moments of surprising tenderness.

One of these arrives in the middle, while everyone is still alive and wearing clothes, and Bobby-Lynne, accompanied by Jackson on guitar, breaks into a heartfelt rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” (One thing that definitely sets “X” apart from its ’70s influences is a robust budget for musical clearances.) The song serves no narrative end, or any prurient or profound purpose. It’s an unexpected gift. So is “X.”

X Rated R. Not quite what the title promises, but still. Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes. In theaters.

An earlier version of this article misstated where the theatrical production of “Debbie Does Dallas” ran. It was an Off Broadway musical, not a Broadway one.

What Do Movie Ratings Mean?

How does a movie earn a G, PG, PG-13, R or NC-17 rating? The Motion Picture Association of America has set the following standards for films in order to help parents determine if the content is acceptable for viewing.

G — General Audiences . All Ages Admitted. A G-rated motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,” nor does it signify a “children’s” motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the motion picture.

PG — Parental Guidance Suggested . Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children. A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture.

PG-13 — Parents Strongly Cautioned . Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.

R — Restricted . Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian. An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.

NC-17 — No One 17 and Under Admitted . An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean “obscene” or “pornographic” in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.

Best Free Movies on YouTube (November 2023)

From Idiocracy to Godzilla to Children of the Corn, these are all free to watch

• University of Maine
• Prime Video
• Favorite Events

It isn't always easy to find good, free movies online. Most recent blockbuster films usually cost a rental fee on popular streaming sites. Thankfully, many free movies are on YouTube if you know where to look.

The easiest way to find free movies on YouTube is to visit the Movies and Shows section . This page is where all the available moves are organized. Many are fee-based, but there's an entire "Free" section with a library of movies you can watch.

Idiocracy (2006): Kinda Feels Like It's All Going That Way

20th Century Fox

IMDb rating : 6.5/10

Genre : Comedy

Starring : Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph. Dax Shepard

Director : Mike Judge

Motion Picture Rating : R

Running Time : 1 hour, 24 minutes

We all wonder what the future holds, right? Well, let's say this version, by Mike Judge, is less than kind. Take one average everyman and one prostitute, freeze them for 500 years, and watch them navigate a world that's devolved. Every once in a while, it sure feels like Judge nailed it (and it's not even been 50 years since this movie came out). Remember, it's rated R, so it's not meant for young eyes. If you are worried about the future, it might not be for you, either.

Godzilla (1954): The Original, Uncut Version of a Monster Movie Classic

IMDb rating : 7.6/10

Genre : Sci-Fi, Horror

Starring : Akira Takarada, Momoko Kôchi, Akihiko Hirata

Director : Ishirô Honda

Motion Picture Rating : Not Rated

Running Time : 1 hour, 36 minutes

This is the original, uncut Japanese version of the classic monster movie about an enormous dinosaur-like creature that destroys Tokyo. Catch up on some of the other films in the franchise, like Mothra vs. Godzilla , for free on YouTube as well, and make a marathon out of it.

Arrival (2016): Not Your Average First Contact Film

IMDb rating : 7.9/10

Genre :  Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi

Starring : Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker

Director : Denis Villeneuve

Motion Picture Rating : PG-13

Running Time : 1 hour, 56 minutes

When an extraterrestrial species tries to make first contact, linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) and physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) are recruited to decode their alien language.

If you're expecting an action-packed invasion flick, then look elsewhere. Arrival is a cerebral sci-fi story that takes its time but ultimately pays off.

Children of the Corn (1984): Corniest Stephen King Triller

IMDb rating : 5.6/10

Genre :  Horror, Thriller

Starring : Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton, R.G. Armstrong

Director : Fritz Kiersch

Running Time : 1 hour, 52 minutes

On their way to the big city, Vicky (Linda Hamilton) and Burt (Peter Horton) pass through a rural town with no adults. When they make the mistake of trying to help one of the orphaned children, the couple is captured by a cult of killer kids.

By modern standards, Children of the Corn is funnier than it is scary, but it's still worth watching for the timeless performance by John Franklin as leader of the corn cult.

The Last Descent (2016): Best True Tragedy Movie

Genre : Drama

Starring : Chadwick Hopson, Alexis Johnson, Landon Henneman 

Director : Isaac Halasima

Motion Picture Rating : PG

Running Time : 1 hour, 45 minutes

The Last Descent is the story of John Jones (played by Chadwick Hopson) and his adventures with a friend in the Nutty Putty Cave in Utah. During their trip, John became wedged in an 18-inch hole 150 feet under the ground. This movie details the many attempts of rescue crews to free John from the cave.

Life of a King (2013): Most Inspirational Redemption Story

IMDb rating : 6.9/10

Genre :  Drama 

Starring :  Cuba Gooding Jr., Dennis Haysbert, George Dick

Director : Jake Goldberger

Running Time : 1 hour, 40 minutes

Cuba Gooding Jr. plays Eugene Brown, an ex-convict who goes to work for the Washington, D.C. school system after finishing his prison sentence. This true story details how Eugene inspired inner-city teenagers by using chess as an analogy for life itself.

Eugene's competed against some of the best high-school chess players in the country. This movie details the trials and setbacks Eugene faced as he worked to help his students understand what it truly means to be a king in all aspects of their lives.

On Golden Pond (1981): A Wistful Drama From Two Hollywood Icons

Bettmann Archive / Getty Images

Starring : Peter Fonda, Katharine Hepburn

Director : Mark Rydell

Running Time : 1 hour, 49 minutes

In this classic drama, Hollywood legends Peter Fonda and Katharine Hepburn star as an aging married couple. When their estranged daughter (Jane Fonda) leaves her boyfriend's son in their care, they start to form new bonds and repair old ones. A great showcase for Fonda and Hepburn's talent in their later years, this film requires a box of tissues.

23 Apr 2021 | 1 hr 37 mins

Olivia Colman , Anthony Hopkins , Mark Gatiss , Olivia Williams , Imogen Poots , Rufus Sewell , Ayesha Dharker

Synopsis: Zellman’s ‘The Father’ is a lot more than a film that merely exists to tell you a story. This is an experience and a journey into an unstable world that is just as real, as it is make-believe.

22 Oct 2021 | 2 hrs 35 mins

Timothee Chalamet , Oscar Isaac , Zendaya , Rebecca Ferguson , Josh Brolin , Dave Bautista , Jason Momoa

Synopsis: ​​Big screen entertainment is back with a bang. Dune is the reason why we fall in love with the movies. This sci-fi extravaganza with deep human connect, deserves an IMAX viewing.

Steven Yeun , Yeri Han , Alan S. Kim , Noel Cho , Darryl Cox

05 mar 2021 | 2 hrs 6 mins.

Daniel Kaluuya , Lakeith Stanfield , Jesse Plemons , Ashton Sanders , Lil Rel Howery

Synopsis: ‘Pitched as a biographical, ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ is almost like a hagiography of its protagonist Fred Hampton (played superbly by Daniel Kaluuya). But the way co-writer and director Shaka King maneuvers through one of American history’s darkest chapters, is not only convincing and fascinating but also hugely riveting in its approach.

Raya And The Last Dragon

05 mar 2021 | 1 hr 45 mins.

Awkwafina , Cassie Steele , Alan Tudyk , Gemma Chan , Kelly Marie Tran , Ross Butler , Daniel Dae Kim , Sandra Oh , Benedict Wong , Patti Harrison , Lucille Soong

Ansel Elgort , Rita Moreno , Corey Stoll , Maddie Ziegler , Brian dArcy James , Talia Ryder , Jamila Velazquez

Darby Camp , Jack Whitehall , John Cleese , Sienna Guillory , Tony Hale , David Alan Grier , Horatio Sanz , Russell Peters

Ron's Gone Wrong

29 oct 2021 | 1 hr 46 mins.

Zach Galifianakis , Ed Helms , Olivia Colman , Rob Delaney , Justice Smith , Ricardo Hurtado

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

14 oct 2021 | 1 hr 30 mins.

Tom Hardy , Michelle Williams , Woody Harrelson , Naomie Harris , Stephen Graham , Reid Scott

Synopsis: Meets the basic requirements for comic-book movie enjoyment with improved CGI, great-looking action and yet another convincing performance by Tom Hardy.

Don't Breathe 2

17 sep 2021 | 1 hr 38 mins.

Stephen Lang , Rocci Williams , Brendan Sexton III , Fiona O Shaughnessy

Scarlett Johansson , Florence Pugh , David Harbour , Rachel Weisz , O.T. Fagbenle , Ray Winstone , William Hurt , Andrew Byron

Synopsis: Black Widow justifies its place in the MCU with an entertaining story that has drama, action and comedy, making it a Hollywood potboiler worth your time, all the way to the post end-credits scene that cannot be missed.

Godzilla Vs. Kong

24 mar 2021 | 1 hr 53 mins.

Alexander Skarsgard , Millie Bobby Brown , Rebecca Hall , Eiza Gonzalez

Synopsis: Delivers on its promise as a massive monster clash and adrenaline-driven movie lovers will be visually rewarded for catching this spectacle in cinemas.

The 20 Highest-Rated Movies on IMDb, Ranked by Votes

The people have spoken.

Read update

IMDb continues to be a popular resource for those looking for must-see 10-star movies. Its ratings and number of voters constantly change as more viewers flock to the site to share their opinions about their favorite films. For the most-voted movies on the platform, they remain above these shifts, except for some subtle differences in their ranking and number of votes.

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. At the very least, IMDb's top movies are comfortably the internet's favorite movies and are likely recognizable to most viewers.

Updated on August 11, 2023, by Hannah Saab:

20 'the silence of the lambs' (1991), votes: 1,484,078 | imdb rating: 8.6.

A cinematic masterpiece and still the first movie many think of when considering psychological horror, The Silence of the Lambs is an award-winning film directed by Jonathan Demme based on Thomas Harris ' eponymous 1988 novel. It tells the story of a young FBI trainee, Clarice Starling ( Jodie Foster ), who asks the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter ( Anthony Hopkins ) for help in her pursuit of a serial killer, "Buffalo Bill" ( Ted Levine ).

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.

19 'The Wolf of Wall Street' (2013)

Votes: 1,491,851 | imdb rating: 8.2.

Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort 's career as a stockbroker as outlined in his eponymous 2007 memoir, director Martin Scorsese 's The Wolf of Wall Street is a renowned dark comedy movie. It revolves around the charismatic stockbroker's (played by Leonardo DiCaprio ) experiences opening his own firm, which engages in fraud and other criminal activities.

A fantastic movie about excess , the high-energy, darkly comedic exploration of Belfort's unbridled ambition is wholly original and wildly entertaining. This unapologetic portrayal of the chaotic and hedonistic world of Wall Street in the 1990s has understandably been a point of debate among critics and audiences, but it doesn't take away from the film's enduring popularity .

18 'Inglourious Basterds' (2009)

Votes: 1,513,303 | imdb rating: 8.3.

One of Quentin Tarantino 's most iconic films, Inglourious Basterds is a unique war movie set during World War II that follows a group of American soldiers led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine ( Brad Pitt ), as they embark on a mission to hunt and exterminate Nazis. Another plot running alongside this is Shosanna Dreyfus' ( Mélanie Laurent ) plan to assassinate Nazi Germany's leadership, and the two stories collide in an explosive way.

Tarantino's movie is a remarkable combination of historical drama, dark humor, and intense action, with its unexpected narrative structure only enhancing the unfolding events. Of course, career-best performances from actors like Christoph Waltz (for his portrayal of the villainous Colonel Hans Landa) add depth and an element of rewatchability to the 2009 film .

Inglourious Basterds

17 'batman begins' (2005), votes: 1,524,287 | imdb rating: 8.2.

Christian Bale 's Batman is introduced to millions of fans in Christopher Nolan 's first entry in The Dark Knight trilogy, Batman Begins . It tells the origin story of the legendary DC anti-hero, all the way to his fight against Ra's al Ghul ( Liam Neeson ) and the Scarecrow ( Cillian Murphy ), who want nothing more than to see Gotham in shambles.

The 2005 movie would mark an important turn in the superhero genre, proving that blockbusters can be infused with gritty realism and psychological depth. 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 .

Batman Begins

16 'gladiator' (2000), votes: 1,552,735 | imdb rating: 8.5.

Director Ridley Scott 's Gladiator is a masterwork in the historical drama genre. Starring Russell Crowe as Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, the film portrays his great fall following a betrayal by the emperor's overly ambitious son, Commodus ( Joaquin Phoenix ). Instead of accepting defeat, Maximus works his way up in the arena and swears vengeance.

The film is full of thunderous spectacles that are the battles between gladiators, perfectly complemented by a powerful score by Hans Zimmer . Crowe's commanding performance anchors the film, which traces his path to Commodus – and to revenge – in a way that will have viewers rooting for him until the very end .

15 'Django Unchained' (2012)

Votes: 1,622,912 | imdb rating: 8.4.

A fan-favorite Western directed by Quentin Tarantino , Django Unchained tells the story of the titular slave (played by Jamie Foxx ) who gains his freedom when he encounters a German bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz ( Christoph Waltz ). The duo embarks on a dangerous journey across the country to look for Django's wife, Broomhilda ( Kerry Washington ), who is revealed to have been sold to a cruel plantation owner, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).

Widely regarded as one of Quentin Tarantino's best movies , Django Unchained is a modern masterpiece that is unflinching in its use of irreverent humor and stylistic violence to delve into racism and slavery. With stellar performances from its cast (most notably resulting in DiCaprio's glass scene) and no shortage of sharp dialogue, it's easy to see why the offbeat film became mainstream.

14 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' (2002)

Votes: 1,720,467 | 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 . Picking up where the first movie left off, the film follows Frodo ( Elijah Wood ) and Sam's ( Sean Astin ) increasingly risky journey to Mordor, as well as Aragorn ( Viggo Mortensen ), Legolas ( Orlando Bloom ), and Gimli's ( John Rhys-Davies ) literally breathtaking pursuit of the Uruk-hai who have kidnapped the lovable duo Merry ( Dominic Monaghan ) and Pippin ( Billy Boyd ).

The epic masterpiece does an excellent job of accomplishing the gargantuan task of bridging the two movies in an exciting enough way that leaves audiences wanting more, but not dissatisfied. Its high number of votes on IMDb is a testament to just how many people likely have this bookmarked as part of their annual marathons of the acclaimed film trilogy.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

13 'se7en' (1995), votes: 1,721,274 | imdb rating: 8.6.

The twisty crime thriller to end all twisty crime thrillers, director David Fincher 's Se7en set a new standard and elevated the genre when it first premiered in the late 90s. The legendary film is centered on two detectives, the disillusioned William Somerset ( Morgan Freeman ) and his rookie partner David Mills (Brad Pitt). The detectives are assigned to a bizarre case about a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as inspiration for his gruesome yet meticulous murders.

Famous for its unforgettable twist ending , Se7en gives viewers an enthralling story with brilliantly suspenseful moments that build up to its wild conclusion. Fantastic performances from Freeman and Pitt make the flawless material they have to work with even better. It's a film that captured lightning in a bottle, and one that continues to be referenced, discussed, and studied today.

12 'The Dark Knight Rises' (2012)

Votes: 1,764,740 | imdb rating: 8.4.

Set eight years after the events of The Dark Knight , director Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is the gripping conclusion to his award-winning film trilogy. It depicts Gotham in a state of uncharacteristic peace thanks to the Dent Act, which is unsurprisingly soon disturbed by the iconic villain, Bane ( Tom Hardy ). Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is forced to come out of retirement one last time to face this new threat, with the help of the reliable Commissioner Gordon ( Gary Oldman ) and an exciting new ally, Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman ( Anne Hathaway ).

A great example of a final movie done right, The Dark Knight Rises is a proper send-off for the beloved anti-hero, who's impossible not to root for at this point. Of course, it's Tom Hardy's portrayal of Bane that manages to outshine heroic attempts from the protagonist, and will forever be associated with this massively successful trilogy .

11 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' (2003)

Votes: 1,906,614 | imdb rating: 9.0.

The closer to Peter Jackson's trilogy of films adapting J.R.R. Tolkien 's seminal fantasy novels is blockbuster filmmaking done right. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King provides a satisfying conclusion to the nearly nine hours of story, this film sees Aragorn claim his birthright as the King of Gondor, possibly the most outstanding cavalry charge ever put to film, and the eventual destruction of the ring and defeat of the big bad, Sauron.

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, it also marked one of the rare times in history where the big winner was an epic, crowd-pleasing fantasy film .

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

10 'the lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring' (2001), votes: 1,934,809 | imdb rating: 8.8.

The task of adapting The Lord of the Rings trilogy that Tolkien spent most of his lifetime developing — and had a massive influence on the genre as a whole — was perhaps rightly seen as one that was, for all intents and purposes, impossible. However, Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema decided to take on the challenge — and it paid off.

Is the beginning of a tale better than the end? The internet certainly seems to think so, as The Fellowship of the Ring places above the conclusion to the trilogy . Why this is so is anyone's guess — but it's certainly an excellent, well-made film that does a great job of introducing the characters, their motivations, and the stakes of the story.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

9 'the godfather' (1972), votes: 1,936,783 | imdb rating: 9.2.

Rarely does a film so completely transcend the medium's limits to become a staple of popular culture, but The Godfather is an odd confluence of factors. A niche Hollywood had thought dead, a young, maverick filmmaker with the vision to revitalize the gangster movie genre , and one of the best casts of all time combine to bring this all-time classic to life.

It's tough to find fault with this film — everything from the script to the production design, the cinematography, pacing, action, and acting are all top-notch. It gave viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of a mafia, which revolutionized an entire genre of filmmaking .

Watch on Paramount+

8 'Interstellar' (2014)

Votes: 1,963,265 | imdb rating: 8.7.

Another ambitious film from Nolan, Interstellar is considered one of the best sci-fi movies of all time . Set in a dystopian future where blight is causing the rapid decline of life on earth, the film focuses on a former pilot and now farmer named Cooper ( Matthew McConaughey ), who finds a secret NASA location and is soon placed in charge of a mission that could be humanity's last hope. As he leads his team through a wormhole, they don't expect what they find on the other side.

Interstellar hit every mark, from its stunning visual effects and commendable scientific accuracy to its outstanding performances and surprising emotional depth. Judging by its number of votes, it's safe to say that it is the movie for sci-fi fans who have likely gotten their dose of space, mind-bending physics, and dystopian settings on more than one rewatch .

Interstellar

7 'the matrix' (1999), votes: 1,979,181 | imdb rating: 8.7.

"What is the Matrix?" is a seemingly simple question, but one that perplexed and intrigued audiences as part of one of the most effective marketing campaigns in history. An odd combination of the height of stunt work, exciting new technologies, and philosophical contemplation of humanity's relationship with machines combined to make The Matrix a massive hit and a cultural phenomenon.

This film holds a special place in many people's hearts, and it's easy to see why. It changed the way blockbusters were made, introducing the world to bullet-time and revolutionary special effects. It's worth noting that it's still considered the best one in the Matrix franchise , and is still worth watching again today .

6 'Pulp Fiction' (1994)

Votes: 2,134,288 | imdb rating: 8.9.

Pulp Fiction is the film that cemented Quentin Tarantino as a creative force in Hollywood. It's hard to put a finger on precisely what makes this film so good — an all-star cast trading barbs with each other from Tarantino's whip-smart script and playing with editing conventions to tell a non-linear story are two of the top reasons.

But perhaps most of all, Pulp Fiction is just cool . There's no other word for it. From the stylish hitmen played with panache by Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta to the soundtrack of absolute bangers from start to finish, this film epitomized the mid-90s. It's one of the most influential American films of the decade .

Pulp Fiction

5 'forrest gump' (1994), votes: 2,163,557 | imdb rating: 8.8.

Known for his crowd-pleasing films, director Robert Zemeckis is at his most crowd-pleasing when he introduces the world to the journey of Forrest Gump ( Tom Hanks ) as he goes from being an impoverished child in Alabama to having an unlikely impact on events that shaped the world in the 20th century.

While undeniably a heartwarming affair and being incredibly acted across the board, particularly in Hanks' case as the titular character , the film isn't known for its subtlety. Forrest Gump is undoubtedly very charming, and still holds an important place in pop culture.

4 'Fight Club' (1999)

Votes: 2,216,929 | imdb rating: 8.8.

David Fincher 's grungy, punk-infused adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk 's novel of the same name is one of the defining cult classics of the 1990s. Combining psychological thriller, comedy, and fight movie into one tantalizing package, Fight Club is dirty, unapologetic, depressing, and exhilarating all in the same breath — not to mention pulling off one of the best twists in cinema history.

Presenting a nihilistic worldview that many disaffected young people resonate with, Fight Club reflects the youth culture of the 1990s as disillusionment and a sense of hopelessness are the defining traits of the story. Tyler Durden's story left a lasting impression on an entire generation .

3 'Inception' (2010)

Votes: 2,450,052 | imdb rating: 8.8.

Having proven his ability to make money at the box office , Christopher Nolan was given a large budget and relative creative freedom for his next big hit. Inception was a concept that had been in Nolan's head since the days of Memento — and a perfect combination of timing, funding, and ideas came together for him to make it in the style that he had always envisioned.

The wild sci-fi film follows the mysterious Cobb and his team as they go on their most ambitious heist yet. The professional thief is used to stealing information from the subconscious, but it's his first attempt at implanting an idea. Nolan was able to take a complex plot and turn into one of the most popular movies of all time .

2 'The Dark Knight' (2008)

Votes: 2,759,752 | imdb rating: 9.0.

Proving just as adept at adapting existing material as he is at crafting his own unique stories, Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy has stood the test of time. While the other two films form practical bookends for the trilogy, The Dark Knight genuinely stands out.

Considered by many to not be so much a great superhero film but instead, a sprawling crime epic where the protagonist and antagonist happen to dress in costume, The Dark Knight — elevated by the late great Heath Ledger's barnstorming and legendary take on the Joker — is quite simply one of the best blockbusters ever made, and an undeniably brilliant, engaging piece of cinema. It's rightly never excluded from any discussion of the highest-rated movies of all time and narrowly makes it as one of the 10/10 movies on IMDb .

The Dark Knight

When the menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman must accept one of the greatest psychological and physical tests of his ability to fight injustice.

1 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994)

Votes: 2,781,715 | imdb rating: 9.3.

After being put in prison for a crime he says he didn't commit, Andy Dufresne ( Tim Robbins ) is sent to Shawshank — one of the worst prisons in the state. Not the kind of man who is cut out for prison life, Dufrense befriends Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), and the two men bond during their time inside together, maintaining their hope in a place where it appears there's none to be had.

The closest to a 10/10 as the film with the highest IMDb rating (at 9.3), The Shawshank Redemption is, without a doubt, a triumph. One of the best films ever made about hope and the human spirit, Frank Darabont directs the best-rated movies among his Stephen King adaptations — showing another side to the horror master. Anchored by Freeman and Robbins' fantastic chemistry, it is a great film that has stood the test of time.
