As Cillian Murphy once said, you only get a couple of calls from Christopher Nolan in your career, only if you are lucky enough. And seems like no one turned out as lucky as him to have shared two long decades with the director. Nonetheless, having Nolan’s heart does not make him less of a fan of his other masterpieces. In a slew of interviews, Murphy and the cast of the recent hit Oppenheimer enlisted their favorite works of the mastermind. And Murphy’s answer was one we all could relate to. 

The talented A-listers having rendered us all speechless with their thrilling performance at the historical drama opened up on which movies by Nolan won their hearts. During Entertainment Weekly’s Around the Table, Emily Blunt confessed, with no hesitation, that she loves Dunkirk. “I’ve seen that like, 20 times,” and we all could not agree anymore. Damon, too, had his favorite ruled out as Inception. However, when it came to Murphy, Blunt gushed about the star himself. 

“You’re in all of them,” said Blunt, but immediately correcting him was the man of the moment, Cillian Murphy.
