If charisma wore a watch and preferred Twizzlers over popcorn, it would likely answer to the name Ryan Gosling. A strict timekeeper, an introspective thinker with feelings worn stylishly on his sleeve, and a man who can brood in ten different lighting setups, Gosling is less a Hollywood heartthrob and more a cinematic anomaly. Whether playing a jazz purist or a getaway driver with questionable ethics, he commits completely. Fortunately, streaming giant Netflix has taken note of this delightful contradiction.

Netflix may not host everything, but its Gosling shelf gleams with curated, chaotic, and quietly brilliant selections.

In The Notebook, Ryan Gosling portrays Noah Calhoun, a soulful carpenter with lifelong devotion and highly questionable roofing methods. Based on Nicholas Sparks’s novel, the film turned Gosling and co-star Rachel McAdams into romantic royalty. Directed by Nick Cassavetes, the tearjerker became a cultural milestone in cinematic yearning. and in making handwritten letters cool again.

In Barbie, Ryan Gosling redefined comic brilliance as Ken, equal parts plastic and existentially perplexed. Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, the film became a global phenomenon, earning over $1.4 billion. Gosling's self-aware absurdity, Oscar-nominated delivery, and musical number 'I’m Just Ken' turned him into a glittery Greek tragedy in a faux-fur coat.

An Underrated Ryan Gosling Classic Is Coming to Netflix This February, Here Is Everything to Know

Ryan Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a stunt motorcyclist-turned-bank robber grappling with fatherhood and moral ruin. Directed by Derek Cianfrance, the film co-stars Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper in a generational crime saga that is slow-burning and somber. Gosling’s performance is muted but magnetic, the kind that makes silence sound tragic and tattoos look autobiographical.

Ryan Gosling plays a spy named Six, presumably because Personality One through Five were already taken. In The Gray Man, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, he trades sharp quips and punches with Chris Evans,  who sports a mustache that deserves its own billing, possibly fighting to finally get his dream Marvel role.  Ana de Armas lends sharpness and presence. It is sleek, fast-paced, and driven more by spectacle than substance, but Gosling delivers with quiet charm.

Whether Ryan Gosling is riding motorcycles, penning love letters, singing about male fragility, or dodging bullets in tailored suits, his range remains oddly specific yet endlessly watchable. Netflix may not house his full cinematic résumé, but it preserves enough to satisfy both first-time viewers and loyal devotees. From emotionally available to emotionally imploded, Gosling offers a masterclass in brooding brilliance, served with a side of inexplicable charisma and disturbingly good posture.
