10 Legendary Filmmakers With Several Movies Rated 100% On Rotten Tomatoes

7. Akira Kurosawa

Number of 100% Rated Movies: 8 Like Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks, Akira Kurosawa's career was defined largely by the studio system within which he worked - modeled in similar fashion to their American counterparts, Japanese filmmakers were also noted for their prolific output, and Kurosawa directed no less than 30 films over the course of his career. It will probably come as no surprise to Kurosawa fans that Rashomon comes up glowing with a 100% approval rating - this was the film which catapulted him onto the international scene after hitting the big time at the Venice Film Festival and picking up the Golden Lion. Kurosawa rarely made a stinker, and perhaps only his early 90s movies Rhapsody In August and Dreams can be considered poor movies - whether or not we can blame George Lucas for his involvement in the latter is up for debate. Notable 100% Rated Movies: Seven Samurai, Drunken Angel, Sanjuro, Ikiru
