How this ranking was built
Compiled 2026-10-24. The full-text archive was published 2025-10-15 and modified 2025-12-16. Rotten Tomatoes posted it. Alex Vo is the byline. The main table is all 200 ranks. The page runs from No. 200 down to No. 1. This table runs from No. 1 to No. 200. The top 10 and the top 25 are the first 10 and first 25 rows.
On 2026-10-24 the live page left all 200 title blocks empty. That live page says published 2026-10-01 and modified 2026-10-15. The newest capture that still prints all 200 titles is 2026-01-12. This table follows that capture. Director names are the Directed By lines in the archive.
Chinese and Russian titles are Wikidata labels. Chinese labels are simplified.
14 films have no Chinese Wikidata label, so the Chinese cell keeps the English title: No. 21 Harpoon, No. 26 La llorona, No. 30 Dracula, No. 39 We Are Still Here, No. 74 1922, No. 94 House, No. 115 Freaks, No. 116 Cargo, No. 117 Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary, No. 118 Island of Lost Souls, No. 120 Theater of Blood, No. 169 1408, No. 184 Haxan, No. 185 Creep. 18 films keep the English title in the Russian cell.
