With the imminent release of Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated Lincoln, attention should be paid to the man who has donned the iconic President's beard and top hat. With a prominent career full of selectively chosen roles under his belt, Daniel Day-Lewis is known for garnering widespread critical acclaim for his honest, nuanced portrayals of remarkable characters.
These are the best actor performances from Martin Scorsese films. Scorsese's masterful movies always feature magnificent performances

Around two years ago, as part of his preparation to play the couturier Reynolds Woodcock in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis re-created a Balenciaga dress. At that time, Day-Lewis could not have predicted that Woodcock would be the last character he would play. He had no sense that this film would engulf him in such a depression that he would be prompted to publicly announce his retirement from acting. On the contrary, he was, as he has always been when he takes on a new part, eager to immerse himself in yet another cinematic identity.

It appears as if Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis have stitched another jaw-dropping exercise in period extravagance.
Haven't seen Last of the Mohicans but Gangs of New Yorka and There Will Be Blood are two good ones for sure.
"I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!" earned him that Oscar alone. My hands down favorite actor.
For me The Last of the Mohicans was the best of all of them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that movie. It's not only him but also the other characters in the film, the cinematography and the musical score is just all put together so well.
his portrayal of daniel plainview in there will be blood is my pick for his best portrayal of a character.
