The review aggregator has reported 179 movies “[certified fresh](http://time.com/4607908/rotten-tomatoes-certified-fresh-movies-2016/)” — a designation given to the movies that receive the highest scores on the website.

Excluding films released in the last few weeks of the year, 179 movies that had a wide release in 2017 were certified fresh this year.
