Daniel Day-Lewis is the best actor ever

He's cool but Steve Buscemi, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Gary Oldman are three better actors off the top of my head

Also if DDL did more movies his mystique would fade and he's just be an ordinary top-tier versatile actor
 
I like Daniel Day-Lewis but he gets almost too much loving at times. I mean as good as he was in Gangs of New York, even he couldn't save that film.

Why?

I'm watching that now for the first time on the USA network and Cameron Diaz has RUINED the movie for me. Leo and Daniel Day-Lewis are great in it though.

I thought there were several cases of mis-casting in the film, which plodded along and seemed to go absolutely nowhere. I actually thought Leo was pretty average in the film also. Thankfully his and Marty's collaborations have only got better with time.

This is correct. He can do the best Belfast accent ever. It's so good you get angry just listening to it like you would with a real Belfast accent.
 
Yeah he's great, but not the definite best, there is far too much competition. Bale, Philip seymour Hoffman, Depp, etc.

I guess I take back my statements about "I drink your milkshake" not being played out already by the internet.

I was watching SportsCenter a couple weeks ago and the guy who was doing the game recap said it. He was referring to some player who kept getting the ball and driving it back down the court for points and he goes, "I drink your... MILKSHAKE! I drink it up!" It was pretty awesome considering I'm sure half the audience didn't get the reference.
 
He's definitely best at what he does -
Being an almost operatic over the top actor.
On the very few movies he tried the slightly more naturalistic approach he was fairly unremarkable.
Luckily for him, his style bring in the Oscars.
 
He is easily the best one still acting if not of all time. Philip Seymour does come kind of close...but not too close:lol

This is still only about the third time I've seen it referenced online.

Then I would dearly, dearly love to be able to read film and pop culture sites on the internet from wherever you're reading them.

leave it to people to ruin a great thing with overuse of saying "milkshake". Stop hamming up a great movie.

And yeah, while DDL is amazing most of his movies suck. To be honest, outside of There Will Be Blood I couldn't care less about the rest of his filmography.

Gangs of New York sucked? Really?
 
I am not gonna disagree or anything, I havent seen enough of his movies.

however, Pauly Shore is the worst actor ever. I dont know why I was watching biodome around 5 am last night, but...shit/

Didn't suck, but isn't Scorsese's best effort either; DDL made that movie. The Crucible was fantastic, though.

Never saw My Left Foot, though. :/
 
just saw there will be blood today. He is fantastic, I think he has best actor locked up. I liked no country for old men better overall though and think it will win best picture. (isn't that what happened at the golden globes?)
