10 Movies From 2016 That Could Score 100% On Rotten Tomatoes

Next year's films that might all have at shot at critical perfection.

It's unlikely that, in this day and age that a movie will find itself branded with that elusive 100% score on critical aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. For a movie to manage such an impressive feat, it would have to be receive a recommendation or a positive write-up from every single critic who sees it. Even The Wizard of Oz has 99% (who the hell disliked it?). When a movie does manage the impossible task of achieving a 100% score, though, it's almost certainly a masterpiece; a film that everyone should seek out immediately; a motion picture that every professional film critic in the world has declared worthwhile. Given that critics tend to disagree over the majority of films, a 100% score sheds a light on a really special piece of work. Because, somehow, it is a movie with something for everyone. Only one film released in 2015, Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa, managed to attain a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Mad Max: Road Fury, Inside Out and Selma all came close, with scores of 97%, 98% and 99% respectively. Could 2016 fare any better? Which films, scheduled for release over the span of 2016, could wind up with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? Here are 10 movies that look like they might have a real shot at doing so...
