Not sure, fugured Oppenheimer was super acclaimed and a huge hit as well. Feel Peaky Blinders' only clear win is influence (on Cillian's career).

Yeah I don't think October Sky and Donnie Darko's significance for breaking him out is as strong as it would be on other lists. Prisoners is the only real missing piece though.

Honestly, I'd go Shrek over Dreamgirls. Do we want to include something like "Delirious?"

Feel stand-up does not really qualifies as screen acting.
