Robin WIlliams 10 Best Movies According To Rotten Tomatoes [LIST]
Robin Williams died yesterday after an apparent suicide. He was 63. Williams starred in many movies throughout his long career but what were his 10 best?
Rotten Tomatoes gathers movie reviews from critics across the country and applies an average score to each film. If the average score is above a 65%, it ranks as '"fresh." If it ranks below 50% on the scale, the movie is then considered "rotten."
I did take a few things into consideration as well when coming up with the 10 best list. Each movie needs to be reviewed by at least 10 movie critics and it had to be released in theaters.
