A Few Of The Greatest Acting Performances From The Versatile Actor, Daniel Day Lewis

By Arnold Murphy


Where to start with Daniel Day Lewis? The guy is like the Dr. Dre of acting. He only comes out with a movie when he sees fit, and when he does, you can be sure that it will be an incredible movie. Lewis is at a point in his career where he only chooses the perfect roles for him and has no problem taking some time off in between.

This article will cite some of my favorite films starring the great Daniel Day Lewis.

Of course, one movie that must be mentioned on a list of Daniel Day Lewis films is My Left Foot. Lewis stars plays the role of a person with cerebral palsy who learns to write and paint using the only movable part of his body, his left foot.

The Last Of The Mohicans is one of my favorite war films, let alone movies starring Daniel Day Lewis, of all time. This movie depicts the French and Indian war in a way that no other movie has been able to recreate, and very few have even tried.

Another great film starring Lewis is Gangs Of New York. This movie shows New York City in the days when various gangs ran the streets and it was far from the place it is today.

In what is arguably the role of his career, Daniel Day Lewis stars as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. The incredibly talented Paul Thomas Anderson directed this amazing film which plays like a biopic because of Lewis' ability to steal every scene he is in.

One other great Daniel Day Lewis film that I feel the need to mention is The Boxer. This movie may not have received the accolades that his other movies did, but it is an amazing film and role nonetheless.

I have no doubt that any future roles that Daniel Day Lewis chooses to pursue will be worthy of mentioning in subsequent articles. When that will be, however, only Lewis knows.
