From My Left Foot to Lincoln to Phantom Thread, this is Collider's ranking of Daniel Day-Lewis' acclaimed filmography.
There are few, if any, actors in cinema history who are quite as revered as Daniel Day-Lewis. He's commonly regarded as one of the very best actors of the last several decades, though his body of work is one that emphasizes quality over quantity. Day-Lewis is known for dedicating himself with a high level of intensity to just about every role he takes on, meaning he's only acted in just over 20 feature films throughout his career, with the first being in 1971 and the last being in 2017.
It's a surprisingly broad comedy, being one of the most light-hearted movies in Day-Lewis's filmography, given he's more well-known for his serious roles. He plays a character who travels across the U.S. to purchase a rare painting, with the film having an episodic or almost skit-like structure as a result of all the things he experiences on his trip. It's serviceable, but not particularly exciting or well-remembered, at the end of the day.
16 'The Boxer' Daniel Day-Lewis has collaborated with Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan three times, with 1997's The Boxer being the last of the three they did together, and the weakest. It's a fairly by-the-numbers sports drama about a man who's imprisoned for 14 years after being involved with the I.R.A., and the way he readjusts to life after release, resuming his goal of making it as a boxer.
It takes some historical liberties for sure, but does depict a real-life event and has characters based on real people. It's certainly worth watching for the strength of the performances, perhaps more so than the filmmaking on offer, given Day-Lewis is supported by an excellent cast that also features the likes of Winona Ryder, Paul Scofield, and Joan Allen, all of whom are great here.
11 'The Bounty' The Bounty has a truly impressive cast, with it starring Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, Laurence Olivier, and of course Daniel Day-Lewis. Narrative-wise, it's another film adaptation of the story surrounding the infamous mutiny on the Bounty, which happened on the Royal Navy vessel back in the late 18th century.
9 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' Released the same year as Stars & Bars, The Unbearable Lightness of Being was another American movie that gave Daniel Day-Lewis the chance to shine in a very complex lead role.
The Last of the Mohicans is set in America during the 18th century, and follows a group of characters who all get caught up in an ongoing battle between French and English forces over land. It's a movie that moves well throughout, when it comes to pacing, and features stunning scenery coupled with compelling and emotional action sequences that are quite dazzling to experience.
4 'Phantom Thread' Daniel Day-Lewis's final film role, and his second collaboration with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, Phantom Thread - should it remain his last role - represents Day-Lewis going out on a high note. It's a subtle and unusually compelling movie, telling the story of a very particular dressmaker and the way his life dramatically changes after he develops a strange relationship with a young woman.
