The Ultimate Ryan Reynolds Movie Ranking: from 'Mayday' to 'Deadpool', Where to Stream Them All
By Elena Rostova
Reynolds holds one of the widest disparities between review aggregator metrics and raw consumer consumption. A low Tomatometer score rarely stops his films from topping digital leaderboards. In early 2026, his 2015 sci-fi thriller Self/less unexpectedly broke into the Netflix Top 10 movies rankings, driven purely by thumbnail recognition and late-night browsing habits.
| Film Title | Release Year | Rotten Tomatoes (Critic / Audience) | Primary Streaming Platform (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deadpool | 2016 | 85% / 90% | Disney+ |
| Buried | 2010 | 87% / 65% | Tubi / VOD |
| Free Guy | 2021 | 80% / 94% | Disney+ |
| The Proposal | 2009 | 44% / 67% | Hulu |
| Red Notice | 2021 | 37% / 92% | Netflix |
| Spirited | 2022 | 71% / 79% | Apple TV+ |
| Mayday | 2025, 2026 | 68% / 84% | Apple TV+ |
The standout critical anomaly remains Buried. Rodrigo Cortés directed the 2010 indie thriller entirely inside a wooden coffin, leaving Reynolds with only a lighter, a knife, and a dying BlackBerry. With zero room for his usual physical comedy, Reynolds delivered raw panic and suffocating isolation. It remains his most artistically daring performance, holding an 87% critic score that still outranks his multi-million-dollar studio tentpoles.
