2) Black Mirror (2013 Episode) Gleeson stars in the episode "Be Right Back," about a grieving widow who purchases software than can digitally (and then synthetically) bring her dead husband back to life. It's one of the saddest episodes of an already very melancholy, tragic series. Watch Black Mirror Here See the original post on Youtube Channel 4@Youtube

3) The Revenant (2015) Leonardo DiCaprio may have been the performer to land the Oscar, but this film's success belongs equally to the supporting cast, including Tom Hardy and Gleeson. Part of us wishes the film was just about them. Watch The Revenant Here See the original post on Youtube 20th Century Studios@Youtube

4) The Little Stranger (2018) With this historical horror, Gleeson took on perhaps his most psychologically-demanding role. While critics were a bit lukewarm about this one, Gleeson, nevertheless, shows why he deserves to be a leading man.

5) Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) Based on the story of English author A. A. Milne, who returned from the First World War and created some of the most beloved children's characters of all time, this film finds Gleeson once again in total screen control.

6) Frank (2014) It's a weird one. But a good one. Know that this movie is about music, and Gleeson in a band. It's also got a big actordon't even look up whounderneath a giant paper mache head. Other than those sparse details, go into this film totally blind. You won't regret it. Watch Frank Here See the original post on Youtube Movieclips Trailers@Youtube

7) Brooklyn (2015) Gleeson stars opposite Saoirse Ronan in this mid-nineteenth-century romantic dramedy. Probably closest in genre to Run (minus most of the comedy). Watch Brooklyn Here See the original post on Youtube SearchlightPictures@Youtube

8) A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018) This Netflix chronicles the founding of National Lampoon Magazine and features a black-haired Gleeson as the partner of Will Forte's lead character, Doug Kenney. It's a straight-man role, but a nice taste of the type of black comedy he excels at. A comedy tease before Run.

9) Unbroken (2014) It's based on the incredible story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympian who was later held captive as a prisoner of war. Gleeson plays one of Zamperini's comrades in the endeavor, losing quite a bit of weight for the role. Watch Unbroken Here See the original post on Youtube Movieclips Trailers@Youtube

10) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Before successive installments totally botched Gleeson's character, General Hux, he played perhaps one of the most menacing, Nazi-like characters of the already menacing Nazi-like dark side. His speech before the First Order fires its genocidal weapon is absolutely chilling. Watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens Here See the original post on Youtube Star Wars@Youtube

11) Dredd (2012) Gleeson plays a minor role in Dredd, but it's one of the more memorable performances of the stoic shoot-em-up. It might have been with this skittish programmer role that writer Alex Garland decided to cast Gleeson in his directorial debut, Ex Machina.

12) True Grit (2010) Gleeson only appears briefly in this acclaimed western remake from Joel and Ethan Coen, but, like always, his is a scene to remember. Watch True Grit Here See the original post on Youtube hollywoodstreams@Youtube

13) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 and 2 Probably where you first saw Gleeson. His father, Brendan Gleeson, also appears as one of Hogwarts' most recognizable professors: Mad Eye Moody.
