IMO, Day-Lewis' best performance was in My Left Foot, portraying cerebral palsy-afflicted author and painter Christy Brown. Such a stunning, inspirational performance.

Has to be My Left Foot.

The last of the mohicans. It was the best movie on the list.

jhiggy23 · 07-13-2010, 01:46 AM

It's either My Left Foot (which I need to re-visit) or TWWB. However, my favorite is In the Name of the Father. Great performance, would love to have it on blu.

I def wouldn't say it's the best on the list--that'd go to My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father, A Room with a View, or TWWB, but Mohicans is my favorite of his films--just an enjoyable flick and who doesn't love the score?

My Left Foot

RampageIceman · 07-13-2010, 02:36 AM

there will be blood was the best of 07 and was ROBBED... but his performance in My Left Foot is simply one of the 5 best I have ever seen!!

Q? · 07-13-2010, 02:37 AM

I was going to say TWBB but looks like I have to check out My Left Foot first!

absolutely! The movie is truly moving!

wonkavision · 07-13-2010, 03:13 PM

Had to go with My Left Foot. But high remarks go to his performance in The Ballad of Jack and Rose.

nathanp · 07-29-2010, 07:48 PM

His performance in There Will Be Blood was one for the ages. So good, it should have won the Oscar 2 years in a row.

Agreed. It's one of the few where he's normal and enjoyable, to me.

Dreemworx · 07-29-2010, 08:55 PM

I've never seen My Left Foot so I am at a disadvantage here.

Not with standing, Gangs of New York cemented his badazz character and There will be Blood is really for me (a solid film btw) a continuation to a degree of that character.

Yea, I was so amazed by his performance in TWBB, that I now want to checkout every single movie that he has made.

Secretagentnumber6 · 07-30-2010, 04:21 AM

My Left Foot, also my favorite movie of his.

lamphorn · 07-30-2010, 08:58 PM

Give me the blood, lord!

ChadFL · 08-22-2010, 03:03 AM

He is easily the finest actor of my generation. This really is a tough call but I'll go with There Will Be Blood. I didn't even like the movie very much but Daniel Day-Lewis carried it. My Left Foot and Gangs of New York I'd put close behind. Gangs of New York was another film he almost single-handedly carried.

LordoftheRings · 08-30-2010, 05:04 AM

* "There Will Be Blood".

-> But I also like his performances in "In the Name of the Father", and also "The Boxer".
..."My Left Foot", and "Gangs of New York".

JLant19 · 08-30-2010, 12:40 PM

Of all the films I've seen I would say def TWBB
