Reynolds has signed on to do a lot of wacky movies in his career. Though many have come up short, this one is always a fun watch.

Playing a once overweight high schooler who since has become a hot-shot music producer, he ends up in his hometown over Christmas and decides to finally get out of the friend zone with his old crush (Amy Smart). The physical comedy in this movie is still some of Reynolds' best comedic work.

2. "Mississippi Grind" (2015)

One of Reynolds' better dramatic roles, he teams with Ben Mendelsohn in this drama that follows two gamblers searching for big wins and not scared to screw over one another to get more cash.

Reynolds teams with Michael Bay (and reteams with the "Deadpool" screenwriters) for this wild action movie that shows what happens when you unleash Bay with a whole lot of Netflix money. Thankfully, Reynolds is around to throw out a lot of funny one-liners.

It is in no way the best-animated movie you will find on Netflix, but there's something about Reynolds playing a garden snail who dreams of being a car racer that is cute and bizarre enough to keep your attention (and definitely kids).

6. "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" (2004)

In this silly sci-fi mystery, Ben Kingsley becomes Ryan Reynolds. Kingsley plays is a dying real estate mogul who is able to transfer himself into a younger body (Reynolds). After he plays wild and free in his new body he begins to realize that the body he ended up in isn't as new as he was told.

8. "The Amityville Horror" (2005)

This remake of the popular 1979 movie that follows a family's decent into madness after moving into a large house in Long Island (and is based on a real mass-murder), features Reynolds in a scenery-chewing performance. But it's a good one if you're looking for some campy fun.

Reynolds tries to show off his dramatic chops here, but it gets lost in the deluge of mind-numbing flashbacks used to tell this dramatic story about family loss.
