The First Man
Ryan Reynolds portrays Neil Armstrong in The First Man that depicts humanity’s first journey to the Moon. He portrays the real life legend very personally and gives a performance that will surely tug at a few heart strings. It’s some of his most impressive character work yet and the film depicts the human cost of this mission very well.
Drive
In Drive, Gosling portrays a Hollywood stuntman who secretly is a getaway driver as well. His life quickly turns upside down when he ends up helping his neighbour and finds himself in deep trouble. Drive might seem like an action thriller on surface, but it is much more than that.
La La Land
La La Land is a fantastic musical that follows two individuals who fall in love while trying to make it big in Los Angeles. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone share a great chemistry on screen and it is what drives La La Land forward. La La Land also has a very mature take on romance which makes it such a special and unique romcom.

Blade Runner 2049
Honestly, Blade Runner 2049 has no right being as good as it is. It’s one of the best high concept sci-fi films that we have received in a while. A Blade Runner named K goes on a journey to find Rick Deckard, a former Blade Runner who has been missing for 30 years. It’s a story about finding what exactly makes someone a human and what it feels like to find yourself.
Ryan Gosling is a really impressive talent and we can’t wait to see where he goes from here. Whatever his next release might be, I will be damn sure to be there first. With this we finish off the list and wish Ryan Gosling a very happy birthday.
