Ever since his role in the hit television series "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place," Ryan Reynolds has become synonymous with comedy, but he's also been able to perform expertly in horror, drama, and action as well. Now as he voices everyone's lovable Pokemon in "Detective Pikachu," I decided to look at my personal five favorite Ryan Reynolds films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Waiting...
If you ever wonder about whether or not to be nice to the waiters and waitresses at your local restaurant, think about "Waiting..." Ryan Reynolds joins an all-star comedy cast including Anna Faris, Justin Long, Dane Cook, David Koecher and Luis Guzman as they play employees at a local restaurant, and the antics and shenanigans they take part in. Reynolds is laugh-out-loud funny, as is the entire cast.
#4
The Proposal
Ryan Reynolds dominates the romantic comedy genre, and "The Proposal" is easily his best. Playing the long-suffering assistant to Sandra Bullock's character, he's practically forced to marry her so she can stay in the country. The two of course form a real bond as they spend more time together, and they work brilliantly off one another - plus the incomparable Betty White.
#3
Buried
Several chances were taken to make the film "Buried," and each chance paid off in spades. Ryan Reynolds steps out his normal comedic role and gives a heavily dramatic performance as a man who's buried alive in a coffin six feet underground, as he tries to find a way out before his oxygen depletes. The film is shot entirely within the coffin, and gives a perfect sense of claustrophobia, but it could've gone totally wrong if the lead character was unlikable - but since it's Ryan Reynolds, we invest in his success and sit on the edge of our seats to see how he finds a way out - if he does.

National Lampoon's Van Wilder
One of Ryan Reynolds' earliest roles has become his most iconic. Ryan Reynolds plays Van Wilder, a seven-year college student who does more partying than studying, and has become the most popular guy on campus due to his wild antics - until his wealthy father threatens to end his tuition. The film hearkens back to classics like "Animal House," and the film is filled with over-the-top hilarity by Reynolds and a strong supporting cast including Tara Reid, Tim Matheson (who was also in "Animal House"), and Kal Penn.
#1
Deadpool
If there was a character Ryan Reynolds was born to play, it's the Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool. Reynolds truly relishes the role (as does the rest of us), and he gives everyone's lovable unkillable assassin the glory he deserves after that abysmal outing in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." There's hardly a moment you're not busting your gut laughing, and Reynolds also has the action prowess to pull off the role like no one else could.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...
Worst2First: My Most Anticipated Films of Spring 2025 Leading up to what cinemas consider summer (which runs from May to August as opposed to June to August), theaters are going to be popping during the two spring months of March and April! From sequels to war films and some exciting original content, there's something for everyone to see on the big screen in March and April. So here are the ten films I'm most excited to see in March and April of 2025... **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** #10 Ash March 21 Sci-fi isn't my particularly favorite genre, but I can still appreciate what it has to offer, especially in the horror community. "Alien" is still the standard of sci-fi horror films, and "Ash" looks like an "Alien" type film - a woman alone in the vastness of space after her entire crew is killed, trying to understand what happened when she's rescued by someone that she may or may not be able to trust.

Zootopia 2 Starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster Directed by Jared Bush & Byron Howard In 2016, "Zootopia" became a surprise hit for Disney, an original movie that grossed over $1 billion dollars worldwide and earned the movie an Academy Award for Best Animated Film. The exploits of cop Judy Hopps and con artist Nick Wilde was endearing to audiences, with deep emotional subject matter that adults could relate to with lavish, wonderful animation that made children's eyeballs glued to the screen. It was what an animated film needed to be on every level, and a sequel was all but guaranteed. Then the years passed one after another, and it seemed that a second adventure was all but forgotten - until now, almost ten years later, with a return trip to Zootopia. Proving time has no detriment to pure talent, the sequel far exceeded even the highest expectations and shattered worldwide records, earning over $1 billion dollars in just a few shor...
