What rotten tomatoes considers the "best films of all time" is laughable across the spectrum.

Some gems from the top 10:

4. Black Panther

6. Parasite

7. Avengers: Endgame

9. Knives Out

10. Us

Its surely just coincidence that the half of the best films ever made in human history were produced in the last 5 years.

They're doing something fishy with that "sorted by adjusted score."

If it sorted by tomato-meter value instead, the esteemed classics would rise to the top, and the entries you took issue with wouldn't even crack the top 50.

Whatever "adjustment" they are doing seems to strongly favor recency.
