What to know before choosing

Comedy is the genre worst served by ratings, and it is worth knowing that before reading this list. Humour dates and travels badly: a comedy adored at home comes across as lukewarm elsewhere, and average ratings show it. A comedy at 7 out of 10 is often the equivalent of a drama at 7.8. The ranking favours the ones that crossed their own border — rarely the most talkative.

Apple TV+ is the only catalog here that is not chasing volume. It holds a few dozen films where the others hold thousands, all produced by the platform. The consequence for a page like this one is direct: it will be short, and that is normal. In exchange the average rating runs structurally higher — a catalog with no back shelf has no bad films to hide.

Frequently asked questions

How were these 24 films chosen?

They come from the TMDB catalog, filtered on audience rating and on a minimum number of votes — without that second filter, a film rated 9 out of 10 by eleven people would outrank a classic. No place is for sale: no platform, distributor or studio can enter this list other than by being well rated.

Which film in this list is rated highest?

Accidental Partners (2026), with 8,8 out of 10 from 386 audience votes.

Are these films really available on Apple TV+ in the US?

Yes, as of the day the page was built. Availability comes from TMDB and JustWatch for the catalog in the US, and the list is rebuilt daily. Streaming catalogs move constantly: a title can leave between two passes, which is why the page carries its date.

Are there any recent releases in this selection?

7 of the 24 films came out since 2021. The rest are older, which is expected: a film needs a few years to gather enough votes to be judged at all.

Do I need an account?

No. Taro eira is free, asks for no account and no subscription, and the two-or-three-question flow works without installing anything.
