Ryan Gosling has the second greatest filmography of these last ten years.
Seriously, aside from Leonardo DiCaprio (and maybe Joaquin Phoenix) he has the best run of films anyone can boast in these last ten years.
Look at the catalogue:
2016: The Nice Guys
2016: La La Land
2017: Song To Song
2017: Blade Runner 2049
2018: First Man
2022: The Gray Man
2023: Barbie
2024: The Fall Guy
2026: Project Hail Mary
And his upcoming movies:
2027: Star Wars: Starfighter
2027: Untitled Daniels Film
Not to say it's without flaws, some of those are not at the same level, but he's probably one of the top three best pickers of potentially great scripts and projects in the film industry right now.
It's a remarkable run.
Plus there's all the great films he did before 2016
- Drive
- Crazy, Stupid Love
- A Place Beyond the Pines
- Lars and the Real Girl
- Half Nelson
- Blue Valentine

And don't forget The Big Short where he genuinely transformed into 'Not Ryan Gosling' and put in a terrific performance in a movie of amazing performances

The Nice Guys was such a good movie, a crime more people haven’t seen it.

I remember seeing a thread of people hating on it a little while ago. Like... what are you hating on? This movie was amazing. Are you hating that you didn't see it sooner?

Idk man, many of these are not that remarkable. Di Caprio on the other hand has the run going from 2004

He really should have seen a gastroenterologist by now.

I think Florence Pugh is in this conversation. She has to be in the top 5, imo. Not all these movies are great, obviously, but most are.
Lady Macbeth
Outlaw King
Fighting with My Family
Midsommar
Little Women
Black Widow
Hawkeye
The Wonder
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
A Good Person
Oppenheimer
The Boy and the Heron
Dune: Part Two
We Live in Time
Thunderbolts
Marvel Zombies
Upcoming:
East of Eden
Dune: Part Three
Avengers: Doomsday
And if she survives it, probably more Marvel to come.

Think he’s just been great for like 30 years at this point, not a ton of duds, basically no gutter balls

Agreed and some great evolution in the career as well from the newest hunk to weird/indie to now blockbuster. Tons of great range!

I don’t like any of those movies.
I think Jake Gyllenhaal is better than him.

Gosling does it best when he plays fast and loose with more comedic and relaxed roles, like The Nice Guys, The Fall Guy and Project Hail Mary. This straight faced "cool" hero type (Drive, Blade Runner) is not that interesting, in my opinion.

Not being in any of the super hero movies allows Ryan and Leo to stack movies. Those type flics take so long timewise to film and release. No doubt RDJ or ScarJo could have done the same.

He has done some great films! It's hars to find a film he is bad in. Even if the film isn't great I think he always turns up and works hard

Since 2015, Jessie Plemons has had roles in 7 different films that have been nominated for best picture.
Mahershala Ali has won two best supporting actor Oscars in the last ten years.
I think one could argue Emma Stone and Timothy Chalamet have had the most impressive filmographies in the last ten years going by budget/ boxoffice ratio and industry awards.

2016: The Nice Guys - didn't do anything for me, too long
2016: La La Land - fine for what it is, I guess
2017: Song To Song - never saw it
2017: Blade Runner 2049 - pretty good
2018: First Man - never saw it
2022: The Gray Man - boring, bland
2023: Barbie - fine, I guess
2024: The Fall Guy - never saw it, no interest based on trailer
2026: Project Hail Mary - haven't seen it yet

Which ones would you say suck? The only one on the list I hadn't seen (or heard of, honestly) was Song to Song.
Every other entry on the list has been at the *very least* decent, most are good-to-great in my opinion.

Agreed. I'd say it's rivaled by Chalamet. His catalogue since '18 is insane too.

> If you add up all of his IMDb movie ratings from the past 10 years, it beats every other actor..... combined.
I honestly cannot find any way to interpret this that makes any sense at all
