Rotten Tomatoes gives ranges for movies according to rotten to fresh tomatoes.
I looked for movies from the 1920s that had a 90% or higher fresh ratio from critics and it came up with two-- Nosferatu from 1922 and Metropolis from 1926. So, RT does get some old films. These were the only two films that showed up when I set the parameters for 10% or over.
With the 1930s only 5 films showed up with the 10% or higher fresh meter search.
Nothing showed up for films from the Silent Era before 1920 that is on Rotten Tomatoes.
