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

6. Yasujiro Ozu

Number of 100% Rated Movies: 9 If Akira Kurosawa was renowned for his mastery of action, with the fast moving camerawork and tight editing of movies like Seven Samurai and Rashomon, Yasujiro Ozu sits on the other end of the stylistic spectrum with his quiet, contemplative family dramas in which the camera remains fixed throughout. Beginning his career in the silent era, it didn't take long for Ozu to make a name for himself as a filmmaker of keen insight into the human condition - his earliest movie rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes is the wonderfully touching and understated silent masterpiece I Was Born, But, released in 1934. It's not surprising that this sensitive and humane filmmaker's lowest rated film, Equinox Flower, still boasts an impressive 86% rating. Notable 100% Rated Movies: Tokyo Story, Late Spring, Record Of A Tenament Gentleman
