Ciarán Hinds Movies, Ranked

Oil, Silence, and a Cartoon Troll

13 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-03-11.

Hinds is the man I keep spotting in the corner of a very serious film and then again in a snowy cartoon, and the distance between There Will Be Blood and John Carter is doing heavy lifting on this list. Ranked by my own stars, so First Man

  1. 1First Man poster
    First Man (2018)
    ★★★★½

    Feels like Interstellar with Chernobyl level anxiety.

  2. 2Silence poster
    Silence (2016)
    ★★★★

    From the very first frames, Silence announces itself visually.

  3. 3There Will Be Blood poster
    ★★★★

    The first thing that stood out to me was the sound design.

  4. 4Frozen poster
    Frozen (2013)
    ★★★★
  5. 5Zack Snyder's Justice League poster
    Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
    ★★★★
  6. 6Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 poster
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
    ★★★★
  7. 7Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life poster
    Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (2003)
    ★★★½
  8. 8Race to Witch Mountain poster

    ★★★½
  9. 9Red Sparrow poster
    Red Sparrow (2018)
    ★★★
  10. 10Miami Vice poster
    Miami Vice (2006)
    ★★½

    Miami Vice feels like Michael Mann operating at a much larger scale, with more locations, moving parts, and glossy production value than his earlier work.

  11. 11
    Is This Thing On? (2025)
  12. 12Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance poster
    Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
