It is a pretty difficult job to list the best movies ever made. First of all, no one has ever seen any movie ever made in the world. Even if someone had pulled off that feat, movies are very subjective and someone else would not be so well-regarded by what one person feels is a fantastic film. A list based on viewer reviews is the closest we can come to getting a definitive ranking. In that context, IMDb's list of all time's highest rated films may be among the best of its kind.
IMDB remains one of the internet's most popular movie information pages. Their list of top-rating films is compiled from films rated by millions of viewers. Although the list is always changing, for a number of years now, the top films have remained quite unchanged. According to IMDb, find out the best movies of all time.
