What to Watch (TV Series) 5 Top-Rated Ryan Gosling Movies to Watch (2023) User Reviews

The Nice Guys

[jalong-65648 · 4/10 · 6 September 2023]

The Nice Guys is a top 5 for sure. Not sure how imdb forgot it. The Nice guys is a funny 70s period detective noir that just pushes the film to its comedic limits. Ryan Gosling in the nice guys keeps the entertainment coming throughout the entire film.

I wasn't a Ryan Gosling fan much until I watched The Place Beyond the Pines and as much as great Bladerunner 2049 is and his performance is great, the character is written a little flat. The top 5 films for him should include the nice guys as a trade out for bladerunner 2049, but both are great films that should be on any film buffs list of top 100.

I would have put them in reverse order. Blade Runner 2 was boring and Gosling played a lifeless robot, not even a human being. Drive is his greatest performance and by far the best movie on this list. La La Land was not even watchable. Even for fans of musicals I can't see La La Land being at the top of anyone's lists. It will best be remembered for the famous Oscar snafu where it accidently "won" best picture only to have it immediately recinded. The Notebook is now a modern classic so I can see that being at the #2 spot. The movie would be less charming without Gosling in it. I have not watched The Big Short since it was released so I can't remember much about his performance but one thing is memorable and that's his horrible wig!
