One of the most talented, yet mysterious actors out there is, in my opinion, Daniel Day Lewis. It seems that any time he stars in a movie, he gets an Academy Award nomination. At the same time, however, it seems like he doesn’t like to act in films too often.

The following movies feature some of my favorite Daniel Day Lewis roles of all time.

If you have never seen a Daniel Day Lewis movie, then a great place to start would be the film that won him the 1990 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, My Left Foot. Lewis stars as the inspirational Christy Brown, an artist with cerebral palsy.

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.

When all is said and done, it was Lewis’ most recent Oscar win that was his most impressive: the role of the tyrannical oilman Daniel Plainview. If this movie was a work of fiction, Lewis would have you convinced otherwise. This movie played like a biopic.

One other film of Lewis’ which I feel the need to mention is A Room With A View. This film was released in 1985, and while I normally do not like romance movies, this one was rather enjoyable.

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.
