What are the best country music movies of all time… according to Rotten Tomatoes? Everyone is familiar with Rotten Tomatoes and their scoring, right? Believe it or not, the review website has been active since 1998, so it’s been a go-to source for seeking out whether or not a TV show or movie is worth watching for over two decades. It’s obviously evolved overtime, and recently, it’s become a big part of the media consumer’s process. When’s the last time you went to a movie or dove into a TV show without looking at the Rotten Tomatoes score first? Most of the time, I’d say Rotten Tomatoes aggregate ranking system hits the nail right on the head with its ranking. The critics score is the one that’s usually the most respected, but the addition of the audience score allows for normal, everyday people to give their two cents on a movie or TV show, and those rankings can be valuable too. In this story, we’re going to look at the critics rankings on Rotten Tomatoes, and specifically apply them to films that Rotten Tomatoes classifies as “Country Music Movies.” You might be surprised by just how many films there are out there that explore the country music genre. Not only that, there’s an impressive collection that are highly rated by the Rotten Tomatoes, and those high critic scores can be hard to come by.
