Ryan Gosling Movies, Ranked

Sad Eyes, Neon Damage

10 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-03-29.

A Ryan Gosling ranking from my watched films: sad eyes, neon loneliness, romantic damage, space anxiety, and men trying very hard to stay quiet while everything inside them is falling apart. Ranked by stars first, then by rewatch pull, emot

1. 1
   La La Land (2016)

   ★★★★½

2. 2
   The Big Short (2015)

   ★★★★½
3. 3
   First Man (2018)

   ★★★★½

   Feels like Interstellar with Chernobyl level anxiety.

4. 4
   Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

   ★★★★

   Denis Villeneuve did not waste time world building on the first few frames.

5. 5
   Project Hail Mary (2026)

   ★★★½

   The opening starts with disorienting shots that immediately place me in Grace’s confused state being lost and alone.

6. 6
   Blue Valentine (2010)

   ★★★

   I really love how the lens choices and lighting separate the two timelines, with one feeling warmer and more hopeful, and the other colder and heavier.

7. 7
   Barbie (2023)

   ★★½
8. 8
   Drive (2011)

   ★★

   I watched this after reading a trivia that this is the last film capturing the yellow LA streetlights before they were replaced by LED lights that emit white light.

9. 9
   The Gray Man (2022)

   ★★

   Feels like Mission: Impossible Fallout, especially in the attempt to create friction between the lead and the villain, but this never reaches that same level of…

10. 10
    The Fall Guy (1912)
