Cillian Murphy’s Filmography + Red Lights Trailer

It’s 2012!!! That only means 1 thing; I am now entering my third year as Cillianiac. I bet you didn’t know that I started becoming his fan since 2010, which is only 2 years ago. Within 2 years, I have adored this man more than any actors alive or dead. He is not the best of all but he certainly is one of the best.

Starting this month, January 2012, I am going to spend a bit more time for my Monthly Murphy post, which is for creating special banner like you see above. It’s going to be some kind of signature for this monthly post (apart from the button/icon).

Last year, I made a list of all books by Stephen King, who is my fourth obsession, and then I realized that I haven’t written the same list for my second obsession (I have written my top-5 obsession> here). I have made top-5 movies by Cillian Murphy (both in acting and movie’s storyline) but I do believe that I need to write this list of movies I have to watch, I am literally going to watch his ENTIRE movie even though he is only a cameo.

Shall we begin

Red meanings I haven’t seen it.

1998

• The Tale of Sweety Barrett  (Pat the Barman)

I haven’t seen this and not sure if I ever going to find it

1999

• Sunburn (Davin McDerby )

Review will be posted somewhere this year

• The Trench (Rag Rockwood)

I haven’t seen this and not sure if I ever going to find it

2001      

• On the Edge (Jonathan Breech) Reviewed

I like the idea of this story but it isn’t my favorite, although Cillian looks at his best look.
Story   Acting

• How Harry Became a Tree (Gus)

I have been trying to find it since 2 years ago and no luck

• Disco Pigs (Darren/”Pig” ) Reviewed

Cillian’s performance was amazing. His made-up accent was incomprehensible and yet interesting. It’s a bizarre love story.

2002      

• 28 Days Later (Jim )

One of the best thriller movies I have ever seen. A non-typical zombie movie that never makes me tired of seeing it. I need to write my review one day

2003      

• Zonad (Guy Hendrickson)

It was unreleased

• Intermission (John) Reviewed

A fun and entertaining movie with great soundtracks.
Story:  Acting:

• Girl with a Pearl Earring (Pieter) Reviewed

A story based on book but it was terribly boring!! I would have turned it off if Cillian was not in it, but I did do a lot of fast-forwarding
Story:   Acting:

• Cold Mountain (Bardolph)

I haven’t watched yet but will do, one day.

2005      

• Batman Begins (Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow )

My Cillian first sight. I am not that keen to superheroes movies but for Batman I often make an exception…and Thank God for that, I discover Cillian.
Story:  Acting:

• Red Eye (Jackson Rippner) Reviewed

The story is actually really good but the ending blows it off the wall. Brilliant performances by both actors.
Story:  Acting:

• Breakfast on Pluto  (Patrick “Kitten” Braden ) Reviewed

My most favorite movie by Cillian, it never makes me tired of seeing it. I have re-watched it so often, in fact too often. This movie is the one that converted me into Cillianiac. He mesmerized me like no actor ever has.

2006      

• The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Damien O’Donovan ) Reviewed

Another favorite of mine. A simple war story with lots of emotion involved and brilliant performance.

2007      

• Sunshine (Robert Capa ) Reviewed

Cillian Murphy as a smart man and a different ending compared to Hollywood save-the-earth movies, I don’t need to ask more.
Story:  Acting:

• Watching the Detectives (Neil) Reviewed

Too bad this one went straight to DVD. I quite like the story and Cillian is capable of being funny too

2008      

• The Dark Knight (Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow) Cameo

Not much to tell here. Cillian is only a cameo for less than 2 minutes

• The Edge of Love (William Killick )

Not actually my kind of story…but Cillian is gorgeous in this movie. I will review it soon

• Waveriders  (Narrator) Documentary

I would love to see this just to hear his sexy voice

2009      

• Perrier’s Bounty (Michael McCrea) Reviewed

At first, I though the movie was okay…but after second viewing I like it much better than the first viewing. It’s a fun Irish gangster movie.

2010      

• Peacock (John/Emma Skillpa) Reviewed

AMAZING performance by Cillian Murphy, one of my all time favorite. Being a shy guy and a woman at the same time sure isn’t easy. But the movie is too slow, I need second viewing to enjoy it more.
Story:  Acting:

• Hippie Hippie Shake (Richard Neville)

Where can I find this???? Help anyone!!!

• Inception (Robert Fischer ) Reviewed

One of the best Sci-fi Movies I have ever seen and Cillian got to choose his character because Nolan asked him to choose whoever he wanted to be
I will do another review after I buy the DVD.
Story:  Acting:

• Tron: Legacy (Edward Dillinger, Jr.)

It’s an okay movie. Cillian only appears around 2 minutes

2011      

• Retreat  (Martin) Reviewed

An independent movie with unpredictable ending…I love it! Too bad Cillian’s character is not a strong character.
Story:  Acting

• In Time  (Timekeeper Raymond Leon ) Reviewed

I knew I will not like the movie since the first time I read the synopsis…but Cillian is one sexy bad-ass.
