@@Reaperguy67 ok thank you
@@Perplexy1 you are welcome. Have a good day
Cillian Murphy is an excellent actor. His performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer deserves him an Oscar.
100% absolutely yes! He was magical in that film! ❤️
If we were including TV show performances I'd personally put his "Thomas Shelby" role at number 1. Peaky Blinders was just a masterpiece
Is his most iconic performance but Peaky blinders is TV show
No shelby , no oppenheimer
Even though Thomas Shelby is the most iconic character he had played, he did the best on Oppenheimer.
Please let Cillian Murray win an Oscar for Oppenheimer! PLEASE!!!!!!
BAFTA is 100% winning best actor
He's a strong contender
I hope 🤞 i want to see him win the Oscar 😢
I hope he wins
If he doesn’t then I’m REALLY done with the Oscars.
He's quickly become my favorite actor. Everything he does is just brilliant. Such a talented and charismatic actor.
He certainly is brilliant, The US audience is a bit late to the party. Cillian has been famous in the UK and Ireland for about 10 years
@@robanks3895He has been famous in the UK and Ireland longer than a decade as his breakthrough role was in "28 Days Later" in 2002. It led to Christopher Nolan noticing him
Red Eye is so underrated. He was fantastic in it.
Charismatic evil
I LOOOVED that!!!
Por esa película es que lo reconozco y lo recuerdo parecía un loco aterrador cuando vi la película por primera vez no paraba de gritarle a la chica corre corre 😂😂😂 tenía 12 años
In the Dark Knight Rises whoever decided to add a crack in the lens of Scarecrow's glasses was genius. That crack just made him look more crazy.
Forget Ducard, Joker, and Bane! The Scarecrow doesn’t scare the #2 out of me as much as he used to, but he’s still a stand-out villain!
His role in The Edge of Love is one of his most underrated performances!
My favorite Cillian Murphy's roles are: "Oppenheimer", "The Wind that shakes the barley", "Peaky Blinders" and "The Dark Knight trilogy".
That scene in Inception is what I remember most in the movie. Beautifully conceived, shot and acted.
28 Days Later is way underrated to me, not just the movie but his performance. For most of the movie he seems like a shy, unassuming guy that just survived through "lucky" (not so lucky to be in a coma in most cases) circumstances, but by the end he goes full badass.
I have seen the future! And Cillian Murphy is going to win that Oscar for Best Actor!
He's a very captivating actor! He was great in Red Eye and Watching Detectives (rom com movie).
He's amazing!!! He deserves an Oscar!!!
Another film to check out of his is Intermission. It stars Cillian and Colin Farrell and Colm Meaney. It's brilliant.
His first Movie Disco Pigs his performance is amazing, don't think anyone outside of Ireland knows it
@@user-tw3re9hg3jI have watched Disco Pigs ❤❤❤❤
@@user-tw3re9hg3ji'm from serbia and i've seen it, he excelled :)
I was flabbergasted when I saw him in Peacock. That's when I knew that he was amazing.
💯
I always thought Cillian Murphy is an underrated actor. When people think about The Dark Knight, the Joker and Bane usually come up. After Oppenheimer, the industry and audiences finally see Cillian as a force to be reckoned with when he wins his first Academy Award.
And of course his most iconic role as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, there is no actor that can match that role
Give. Him. The. Oscar.
"Oppenheimer" deserves to Cillian the Academy Award, right now!
Cillian is one of my top favourite actor. He is a true actor, a master talent and a force to be reckoned with. I absolutely fell in love with him in "Red Eye" and then "Peaky Blinders". Just now i finished "Oppenheimer" and "Watching the Detectives"...he never cease to amaze me with his range of different characters!
First thing I remember seeing him in was 28 days later, he said he'd be interested in doing another one (28 years later). Even though it's not big screen my favorite part he's played is Peaky Blinders
So happy for the success of Cillian Murphy, i love him as Thomas Shelby 😍
My favorite roles of Cillian Murphy was his portrayals as Scarecrow and Red Eye. He performed spectacularly as Robert Oppenheimer.
The only role we need him to play is Doctor Doom in the MCU.
He only did supporting roles, until he participated in Peaky Blinders, and after that I thought he would only be known as the eternal meme of 2020 and now he's there shutting me up, receiving the Oscar now for Oppenhaimer.

He had the lead role in the movies "28 Days Later" and "Breakfast on Pluto"
@sfinn8And many more Sunshine, Anthropoid, etc 28 Days Later. On the Edge, Disco Pigs, Red Eye, Red Lights, The Edge of Love ..lots
WatchMojo campaigning for Cillian Murphy...I love it!
When I saw The Wind that Shakes the Barley in Belfast, the entire cinema stood and clapped at the closing credits. Never witnessed anything like it.
I can’t watch it again. It tears me up.
Loved the movie ❤
Cillian has a whole body of work that many have enjoyed for many years. (Peaky Blinders included). It's thrilling to see how Oppie put him on the grand stage for everyone to see this lovely man's incredible talent. Go get that Oscar, Cill!!
Can't forget his outstanding amazing role of Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders..His performance leaves u wanting more.
It's a TV show not a movie
This guy is a powerhouse performer ❤
The Wind That Shakes the Barley. 🇮🇪☘️
I really enjoyed watching him in the film Anthropoid.
Great movie .. tragic but Cillian is fantastic in it !
First of all, love you Rebecca like always! Second, i bet this Robert Oppenheimer is what's gonna get him that Oscar!
Hopefully 🤞
I love that the Wind That Shakes The Barley is that high. Unbelievably good film that tends to get forgotten now. It won the Cannes Palmes d’Or
Brilliant movie and performance by Cillian Murphy.
He played a crazy good dual role in Peacock (2010) alongside Susan Sarandon and Elliot Page, where he played a man with a split personality playing both husband and wife creepily and effortlessly
I'm so glad I'm seeing others acknowledge Peacock on here. One of the best!
Incredible.. I just recently watched
SUNSHINE is an underrated film. So visceral utterly Existential
I really liked Nolan's Cillian Murphy scarecrow! In the role of Scarecrow I met for the first time we meet Cillian!
In Ophennaimer Cillian Murphy was fantastic, he deserves to win an Oscar for his great performance!
I am desperate for the next 28 Days Later movie, and putting Cillian back into the franchise, would be the cherry on the cake. One of the greatest actors of his generation, i adore the guy.
Cillian Murphy is brilliant in everything he takes on.
Manifesting Oscar Winner Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy in dark knight scared the shit out of me 😢
Born to Act
About how such an underrated and talented actor, with many underrated movies, and after that, he went from being currently one of the best actors, and that is thanks to movies like 28 days later, the Batman trilogy, Peaky Blinders and recently Oppenheimer has gained him a lot of fame and now it is very possible that he will win Best Actor thanks to Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.
Movie performances it should be performances and peaky blinders should be top 3 but still get list good to see Cillian Murphy gets the recognition he deserves he is soo underrated 😊
28 Days Later is the movie that convinced me horror movies can be a good experience.
Horror’s been my favorite genre ever since.
His performance in Peacock is extremely underrated. He pulls off both characters effortlessly and you can really tell their mannerisms apart.
Peacock yes! One of the best. To this day I am blown away by it. Every time I watch it, I'm like what just happened because it's just that good!
Ellen Page and Susan Surandon? I'll check it out
💯
I did t even know that was him in the movie a quiet place . Damn he can change faces too! Now that’s talent
Murph my love
I want to mention his role in Anthropoid. An underrated WW2 film about the assassination of Heydrich, in which Murphy plays one of the assassins.
“Anthropoid”, a true story of Czech heroism, and “Perrier’s Bounty” where I first discovered him last September and felt sorry for him getting constantly beaten up.
J. Robert Oppenheimer is his best performance to date. I hope he wins an Oscar for it.
I hope too
SUNSHINE
I think Thomas Shelby is even superior
@@juanche978 Probably should have gotten an Emmy for that one.
One of my favorite actors, He's been around for longer than it seems delivering performance on top of performance and improving every film. I tend to ignore Tron:Legacy but not because of Cillian.
Ooo I love this guy!! Didn't know he was Irish but right on, he"s amazing
Cillian in anything, any role. He shines. Should have won a BAFTA for Thomas Shelby, he deserves that and an OSCAR too.
His performance in Anthoropoide was also compelling!
Loved him in inception, every nolan movie really, but especially inception and oppenheimer
Greatest actor of our time folks!
He can really save the MCU as Doctor Doom replacing Kang as main villain for Multiverse Saga
Hell yeah!!!
I know right!! However, he put one simple condition to play Doom, "a good script".
But nothing can save Marvel from Disney so better he keep playing quality roles definitely no
Nah, Kang was played by a black guy, so replacing him with a white guy would be a racisms. You're only allowed to replace white actors with non white actors, you can't do it the other way.
I think better writing is the only thing that can save it. No more of the political diarrhea. Just good story. With disney that's difficult.
So glad so many of us agree about Anthropoid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s easy to see why he has become such a Nolan favourite - even came down to the last few for Batman before (rightly) being beat out by the incomparable Christian Bale & thus a brilliant turn as Scarecrow instead was born.
Oppenheimer meanwhile is easily one of the best films I have seen in years & I hope it finally sees Cillian, Nolan & Robert Downey Jr bring home Oscar gold!
I really liked him in Anthropoid.
Red Lights, Anthropoid, The Party.👍👍👍
I think what Nolan did from giving Cillian Scarecrow, to Fischer, Solider in Dunkirk and Oppenheimer, I think almost every time Cillian plays a new Nolan film character is always a step up of how dramatic can he be in every new Nolan character he’s plays
Any movie he's appears in really!
I'm waiting patiently for the Peaky Blinders"movie ....
Peaky Blinders created Godzilla 🤯
What about the time keeper in In Time?? #Underrated asf
First time I saw him Was ‘Red Eye’ !
And that alone was Already Legendary
I've seen 28 days later more times than I can count but i never put together that Jim was Cillian Murphy until just now. I don't know why, Ive seen him in other things but it didn't click until this moment. It's the eyes that are burned into my memories, his eyes in that movie.
Girl with a pearl earring 2003 🙂
Honorable mentions:
Peacock
In Time
Anna
Peacock. Gillian was sensational in Peacock.
There are a few performances missing from the list that should have at least been in honorable mentions. Also his performance in Anthropoid should have been in the top 10 list and his perf in Breakfast on Pluto should have been higher. But I'm glad at least his role in The Wind That Shakes the Barley is higher up the list.
I am glad On The Edge was mentioned, it's one of my favorites and he is so fricken cute in it . I think Watching the Detectives needs mention, he has great comedic timing. He should do morr comedies..
Red lights is my fav cilian murphy movie
No brown sauce in your tea, bad list
Unforgettable!
I hope he wins! So glad he's getting the acknowledgement he deserves. One movie I think his performance was amazing as well was Peacock.
Watch him in Anthropoid....hard and heroic... masterful acting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oscars have finally have him n me
How many TV performances has Cillian Murphy done? I ask because his role on “Pinky Blinders” shouldn’t be overlooked.
Peacock (2010) is also a good Cillian movie ♥
Peacock. 👍
Red Lights was a interesting movie too & he did a great job in it!
Very glad that Intermission got a mention
Nearly had a stroke not seeing Thomas Shelby then I realised it’s MOVIE performances.
I was like they better have Breakfast on Pluto, and there it was the first one to be mentioned. Thank you miss Mojo, :)
How much I love Red Eye,
All these comments about peaky blinders and everyone forgot his role in Project Anthropoid
I wonder if he realizes how beautiful he is?
28 Days Later is the best one.
Oh come on you could've included Peaky Blinders! It's not like you can make a separate list for his tv roles...
Can you guys finally make a video on top 10 Heath Ledger performances
Watching the detectives!!
There’s a movie that is overlooked, called Perrier’s Bounty with Brendon Gleeson and Jim Broadbent. Funny and charming.
Such a good actor I will say I think his best performance is in peaky blinders but obviously that’s not a movie so can’t make this list. He definitely deserves a Oscar
OSCAR FOR HIM PLS
Hi Cillian Good night 😘😘😘
His performance in "Intermission" should've been in this list
And then you add his tv acting skills....Tommy Shelby and you see one of the most brilliant actors that will never accept his brilliance.
My honourable mention Hass to be Timekeeper Raymond Leon - in time
I prefer Cillian Murphy in Irish films although 28 Days Later and Sunshine are some of his best outside of Ireland.
Oppenheimer is great I just think it's getting way too much credit because let's face it, it didn't really have much competition.
Ive never heard of Breakfast On Pluto but why is it at #10? Looks far more interesting and challenging than say his limited role as Scarecrow.
He is hilarious and compelling in it.
@@asdf7711 I'll look for it
That should have been his first Oscar nomination and win IMO. Definitely my favourite role of his ❤
if you want a slice of life film of his, check out The Delinquent Season. It's great!
