There are many movies streaming on Netflix, but we bet you haven’t seen several of these movies with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating.

Gaining a 100% approval rating on the movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes is no easy feat, but all 15 of these movies have accomplished it. Whether they’re comedies, thrillers, documentaries or stand-up comedy specials, all of these are sure to be the best of the best… and they’re all streaming on Netflix.

While some of these films have been reviewed by many critics, a few of them have received only a handful of reviews. This is due in part to the fact that Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t around when many of them were released. Still, the selection of reviews from now and then assures that critics are unanimous on these films.
