I wish Daniel Day Lewis had more movies that he has starred in. Lewis is arguably the most talented actor working today, and his multiple Academy Award wins and nominations further back this claim. Since the start of his career, he has been nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role four times, and has won twice. Quite the feat indeed.
The following movies feature some of my favorite Daniel Day Lewis roles of all time.
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.
Who can make a list of Daniel Day Lewis films and not mention The Last Of The Mohicans? In this French and Indian War classic, Lewis plays Hawkeye, a Native American looking to defend the remaining members of his tribe.
I can say with certainty that one of the best cinematic villains we have seen in recent years is Bill "The Butcher" Cutting Martin Scorsese's film, Gangs Of New York. This movie also happens to star Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio.
There Will Be Blood is my favorite Daniel Day Lewis movie of all of them. I can't even put into words how great his acting is in this movie. He completely owns the part of Daniel Plainview and this movie must be seen to fully understand what I mean. This is one of the best films of the year and it was no surprise that he won an Oscar for this movie.
The Boxer is another movie that is worth mentioning, as it is one of the few awesome Daniel Day Lewis sports roles. This movie came out in 1997 to limited release, but deserves to be seen by more widespread audiences.
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.
