Rotten Tomatoes has released what it calls the 100 Worst Movies of All Time. They all scored 6% or less on the Tomatometer. Topping the list, all with a 0% rating, "Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever," "One Missed Call" and "Left Behind." I've heard of none of these films, so I must have really good taste in movies.
To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.
As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie. Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.
When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status. When less than 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a green splat is displayed to indicate its Rotten status.

The Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score indicates the percentage of film critics who gave a film a positive review. This rating can therefore range from 0% to 100%, and there are dozens of films that have a 100% Tomatometer score.

NC-17. The NC-17 rating is the highest rating (even higher than the R-rating) that a film can be given, and it means the movie is for adults only (ages 18 and older) and no one age 17 or younger will be admitted. This rating, prior to 1990, was previously rated X.
Fresh: Films or TV shows with a score of 60% or higher that do not meet the requirements for the "Certified Fresh" seal. Rotten: Films or TV shows with a score of 59% or lower receive this seal.
No, a G rating means that the film is suitable for all (or General) Audiences. Yes, TV-Y, TV-Y7, and TV-Y7-FV but only for TV. G is the lowest for cinema / movies on physical media, like VHS and DVD.
