How this Rotten Tomatoes ranking works
Rotten Tomatoes orders these titles by Tomatometer percentage, its measure of the share of critics’ reviews that are positive. The Popcornmeter is shown separately and reflects audience ratings; it does not determine the order here. The figures below are Rotten Tomatoes page values captured on October 7, 2026, and may change as the site’s ratings data changes.

Training Day has the largest audience advantage
Training Day pairs a 74% Tomatometer with an 89% Popcornmeter, the widest positive gap between audience and critics among these ten films. The two measures describe different groups’ ratings rather than a single combined verdict.
Bad Lieutenant has a wider critic-audience split
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans scores 86% with critics and 57% with audiences in the captured figures. It ranks second because of its Tomatometer result despite the lower Popcornmeter score.
The list spans different kinds of films
The titles range from the crime drama Training Day to the comedy Hitch and the action-comedy The Other Guys. Use release year and film type alongside the scores when choosing what to watch: a higher critics’ percentage alone does not tell you which movie best matches your taste.
