If anyone wants to help out and let me know which roles of hers to exclude from the list, that’ll be appreciated. For example, even though 13 Going On 30 is in her filmography, I think she’s more of a background character there.

Meanwhile, his co-worker and roommate, Monty (Ryan Reynolds), fights temptation in the form of an underage colleague, while showing a new employee (John Francis Daley) the ins and outs, providing him the worst first day of his life." According to Rotten Tomatoes, "Waiting... is a gross-out comedy that's more gross than comic."

 

6.85

Elliott - 1 - It probably hasn't aged that well since I remember it having some problematic jokes, bit as someone who worked as a server for five years, I felt seen by this movie. Also it had entire scene dedicated to Karens, so it truly was ahead of the times in that regard.

Kaley - 2 - Total guilty pleasure . I know it’s not a cinematic masterpiece, but my husband and I watched this movie so many times when we were in college. Ryan plays the aging party boy well, and his character is the one I remember most from the movie.

QK - 2 - Another one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.

Dee - 9 - Anna Farris makes me laugh. That is all.

Rei - 9 - This high cause I’ve actually watched this

5.71

Chris - 1 - great romantic comedy.

 

JC - 1 - 

 

Dee - 5 - Sandy does her best to try and make this film something more than just a cliched rom-com. But her performance is very good!

Rei - 5 - Just watched bits of this but I’m sure is pretty good.

Kaley - 7

Elliott - 8 - Meh.

QK - 13

 

 

3. PAUL CONROY - BURIED (2010)

From Wikipedia: "The story is about Iraq-based American civilian truck driver Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), who, after being attacked, finds himself buried alive in a wooden coffin, with only a lighter, flask, flashlight, knife, glowsticks, pen, pencil, and a mobile phone." According to Rotten Tomatoes, "Wringing a seemingly impossible amount of gripping drama out of its claustrophobic premise, Buried is a nerve-wracking showcase for Ryan Reynolds's talent."

 

5.57

Chris - 3 - this movie was better than I expected; it take guts to play that character.

Kaley - 3 - it’s been a while since I’ve seen this, but I remember liking it and thinking he did well in it for it not being his normal type of role.

Dee - 4 - Actually a good film. I forgot about this movie.

Rei - 4 - I kinda liked this

QK - 8

JC - 13

5.14

Chris - 2 - it may win and I am fine with it.

Dee - 2 - Ryan Reynolds has been in all of four good movies total. This is one of those four. Best video game-to-film adaptation. Pokémon everywhere! UGH. 

Rei - 3 - Loved this

JC - 4

Elliott - 5 - Pikachu literally sounded like Ryan Reynolds the entire film and the son wanted to act brand new that it was his dad's soul or whatever in Pika's body? Boy bye.

Kaley - 5 - I thought this was fun.

QK - 15

 

 

1. WADE WILSON A.K.A. DEADPOOL - DEADPOOL (2016)

Plot summary from Google: "Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former Special Forces operative who now works as a mercenary. His world comes crashing down when evil scientist Ajax (Ed Skrein) tortures, disfigures and transforms him into Deadpool. The rogue experiment leaves Deadpool with accelerated healing powers and a twisted sense of humor. With help from mutant allies Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Deadpool uses his new skills to hunt down the man who nearly destroyed his life." According to Rotten Tomatoes, "Fast, funny, and gleefully profane, the fourth-wall-busting Deadpool subverts superhero film formula with wildly entertaining—and decidedly non-family-friendly—results." Ryan Reynold's performance was met with universal acclaim. A review from Entertainment Weekly said Reynolds was the perfect star for the role, and the film is "a blast of laughing gas in a genre that tends to take itself way too seriously." Ryan Reynolds was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, and he won the Critic's Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy, the People's Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actor.

 

4.14

Dee - 1 - Ryan Reynolds has been in all of four good movies total. This is one of those four. Deadpool is amazing.

Kaley - 1 - Not sure if this is a popular or an unpopular one, but I did enjoy this movie. Besides, in a ranking for him I do feel like it’s one of his iconic roles that everyone knows him for.

Rei - 1 - Ryan Reynolds finest role to be honest

Elliott - 2 - smh at Chris cutting Deadpool 2 aka my easy #3. While I'm still waiting for the Deadpool/Spider-Man crossover, I'll just rank Deadpool here because I obviously loved it.

QK - 3

JC - 6

Chris - 15 - you guys didn't want me to cut it so I am ensuring that it doesn't win. But it probably will win.
