After starring in the Back to the Future trilogy, Michael J. Fox secured his Hollywood legacy by headlining some of the most beloved movies ever made.

Which Michael J. Fox Movie Ranks Among the 'Best Movies of All Time'

Rotten Tomatoes maintains a list of the "300 Best Movies of All Time" that is constantly updated. Right now, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is ranked at number 37 on that prestigious list. That is especially notable since none of Michael J. Fox's other films, including the Back to the Future trilogy, made the cut. The movie is a 2023 documentary that focuses on the life and career of the celebrated actor.

Rotten Tomatoes continues to update that list by blending critics' scores, user rankings, review volume, and a few other factors of the films listed on its website. It then shapes the ranking based on the 300 films that have performed best across all those categories.

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie currently has a 99% Tomatometer score based on 155 reviews and a 95% Popcornmeter score from more than 250 user ratings. It currently sits higher on the list than iconic films like Psycho, The Wizard of Oz, Jaws, Goodfellas, Das Boot, The Dark Knight, and more.

What Helped Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie Earn a Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

Since Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie was released, it has appeared to be loved by nearly everyone who has seen it. That shows in its high scores on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 8.1/10 rating on IMDb, where less than 3% of its user ratings fall below 6/10.

Reviews of the acclaimed movie paint a picture of why the film has connected with so many viewers. Christy Lemire from RogerEbert.com wrote about the documentary's subject being its key strength. "The twinkle in the eye is still there—the boyish charm, the self-deprecating sense of humor that feels particularly Canadian… Fox discusses the disease, his career, and how the disease has shaped his career with disarming candor." That makes sense since Fox is known for his sense of humor, as he even joked when he was wrongly reported dead. Critics have also singled out the movie's direction and editing as worthy of immense credit.

Almost No One Has Seen 'Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie'

Given the level of praise it has received, it is surprising that relatively few people have seen Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. According to YouGov, ony 27% of the people the website surveyed had even heard of the film. Worse yet, only 8% liked the movie, with 4% disliking it and 15% being neutral. It seems very likely that at least a large percentage of the neutral group haven't watched the movie. But, even if everyone who knew about the movie had seen it, 27% is still a low percentage for a film Rotten Tomatoes named one of the "best movies of all time."
