Blake Lively is a must-watch on Netflix's top 10 movies to end with us fans

Last year none other than Deadpool's own wife took “Deadpool & Wolverine” out of first place at the box office.. Notably, while “Deadpool & Wolverine” was seemingly unbeatable at the box office, star Ryan Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, took first place with the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel, “It Ends with Us.” The film may have been mired in controversy following allegations of sexual harassment on set, but “It ends with us” behind-the-scenes drama cannot take away the success of the film.

The romantic drama stars Lively as Lily Bloom, a woman facing the reality of her abusive relationship, and the “Gossip Girl” alum delivers a compelling performance in a film that otherwise failed to impress critics. But that certainly doesn't matter to Lively, as her $25 million film not only managed to dethrone her husband's superhero blockbuster, it also earned 350 million dollars all over the world.

Now, while we wait for more news on whether “It Ends With Us” will get a sequel and really end with this one movie, Lively is at least enjoying a bit of a Netflix renaissance. Nine years before It Ends With Us , Blake Lively starred in a film that currently has the exact same Rotten Tomatoes score as her recent box office triumph (the critics' score is, sadly, decidedly lower at 55%). Now, this 2015 romantic fantasy is moving up the streaming charts.

It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively as a woman who, after a traumatic childhood, moves to Boston to start a new business before meeting neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (played by director Justin Baldoni). However, their relationship slowly turns from romantic to repeatedly traumatic as Kincaid begins to exhibit tendencies reminiscent of Bloom's parental suffering. She is then forced to confront her history with a toxic relationship.

Despite good intentions and determined performance, “It Ends With Us” could not escape the curse of Colleen Hoover's bookand succeeded by only 55%. Rotten tomatoes. Interestingly, another Lively film with exactly the same Rotten tomatoes The score is now rocketing up the Netflix charts just as the fallout from “It Ends with Us” is playing out very publicly.

According to FlixPatrolThe actor's 2015 “The Age of Adaline” is currently the seventh most-watched film on US Netflix, according to a website that tracks and aggregates streaming viewership. The romantic fantasy debuted on the charts on Jan. 12 at No. 10 and has climbed three spots since, suggesting we could be witnessing a major Netflix revival for what remains one of Lively's best shows.

in 2010 Blake Lively stars in her highest-rated film on Rotten Tomatoesplaying Christa Collin, Ben Affleck's former role as Doug McCray in “The Town.” However, this film is hardly Lively's showcase, as she only appears in a few scenes. While “The Age of Adeline” is nowhere near the top of her Rotten Tomatoes rating, it's certainly a much better showcase of the actor's talents and will no doubt be an enjoyable watch for “It Ends with Us” fans.

While her breakout role was arguably Bridget Vreeland in Ken Kwapis' 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Lively's role as Adeline Bowman in The Age of Adeline is definitely one of the actor's defining moments. Although the film wasn't a huge critical success, it has its fans, and Lively clearly gave her all to play a young woman who stops aging at 29 after an accident. As Adaline continues to age, her youthful appearance never changes, and she keeps her distance from others to hide her situation. Of course, this being a romantic fantasy, it's not long before beautiful love appears, this time in the form of philanthropist Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman). However, things get complicated when Alice's father William (Harrison Ford) recognizes Adaline as a former lover, threatening her newfound romance.

If that sounds appealing, now's the time to join Netflixers in pushing this lively crowd up the streaming charts — though it'll have to beat a pair of “Despicable Me” movies and the French thriller “Ad Vitam,” currently at No. 1, to to do it.
