From dramas to rom-coms to high-octane action flicks, these are the Top 10 best Ryan Reynolds movies.
Honorable Mention: The Voices<p> Where to Watch: Cinemax, Cinemax Go, or rentable on most platforms.<br> One of Ryan Reynolds' most interesting projects from the last decade was 2014's The Voices, in which he played a factory worker with mental health issues, Jerry, who imagines his pets (also voiced by Reynolds) are talking to him. Normally, movies featuring talking animals are family fare but in this black comedy big swing Jerry's detachment from reality leads to multiple murders. Reynolds excelled as the lead here, helping elevate this very dark, bizarre tale. Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick co-star.
10. Definitely, Maybe<p> Where to Watch: Hulu, or rentable on most platforms.<br> In a rom-com that plays slightly like CBS' How I Met Your Mother, Ryan Reynolds portrays a father who recounts the stories of his past past romantic relationships to his ten-year-old daughter (Abigail Breslin), including how he ended up marrying her mother, to help explain his impending divorce. Also starring Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, and Elizabeth Banks, Definitely Maybe is a refreshing, clever dramedy about finding love.
9. Adventureland<p> Where to Watch: HBO, HBO Max, Cinemax, Cinemax Go, or rentable on most platforms.<br> Written and directed by Superbad's Greg Mottola, and loosely based on the theme park in upstate New York, Adventureland is a comedy about summertime park workers in 1987. Reynolds is in a supporting role here, as the fun zone's older maintenance man, but it's still a great use of him in an ensemble (while also winking at previous "big fish in a small pond" roles he'd played in Waiting and Van Wilder). Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart star, along with Reynolds, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Martin Starr.
8. The Proposal<p> Where to Watch: Rentable on most platforms.<br> From Step Up and 27 Dresses' Anne Fletcher, 2009's The Proposal was like a charisma explosion. Reynolds and Sandra Bullock starred in this rom-com hit about a female executive who wrangles her assistant into to acting like her fiancé so she's not forced to deport Canada, and her job. Reynolds and Bullocks' chemistry was off-the-charts here, both with impeccable comedic timing and the extraordinary ability to play off one another. Also starring Malin Åkerman, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen, and Betty White.
7. Buried<p> Where to Watch: HBO Max, or rentable on most platforms.<br> Claustrophobic thriller Buried, from 2010, was another risky departure for Reynolds. It paid off though, working with very little to unleash a ton of tension. As an American truck driver in Iraq, kidnapped and buried alive in a coffin -- with only a lighter, flask, flashlight, knife, glow-sticks, pen, pencil, and a mobile phone -- Reynolds delivered a frantic, nerve-wracking performance as a man desperate to survive this real-time crucible.
