I was gonna mention this if you didn't. Odds are that movie's gonna be fantastic, albeit with a probable anic-like ending.
I watched "There Will Be Blood" again twice over the holidays and I still don't get how it didn't win Best Picture (though NCFOM was good too, admittedly).
They did get the Best Actor part right, however...and honestly, has any 1 actor ever made the most of the roles he's played like DDL? He doesn't sign up for every other script like some Hollywood attention either...he's very selective, and as you can see from his filmography the guy knows what he's doing. Here's a list of some of the better known movies he's done. The ones in italics are ones I've personally never seen.
Gandhi (very small part)
My Beautiful Laundrette
My Left Foot
Last of the Mohicans
The Age of Innocence (underappreciated Scorsese flick)
In the Name of the Father
The Boxer
Gangs of New York
The Ballad of Jack and Rose
There Will Be Blood
Nine
He's also in pre-production of a film called "Lincoln (2012)," which I'm already looking forward to. Let's face it, the guy rarely does ty movies, and I applaud him for it.

He is a good actor but there are some who I'll watch almost any movie they are in like Gene Hackman, Robert Duval and others are some actors are just plain workaholics like Samuel L. Jackson who like their art and are not worried about winning an Oscar.
And I did love The Last of the Mohicans.
I'm sorry but I believe it's Daniel Dave Lewis.
Should be good, I doubt they'll it up at the end
I like the ones you mention as well, but "Snakes on a Plane" really stretches the term "workaholic."
Are you sure about that?

I like the ones you mention as well, but "Snakes on a Plane" really stretches the term "workaholic."Yeah, but that is what makes him who he is.
Are you suggesting that DDL and SLJ are on the same tier as actors?
I would bet my right ovary.
I told you that turkey sammich wouldn't kill you
DDL is wonderful and gorgeous, but his films don't always hit the mark with me. My favorites are My Beautiful Laundrette and The Boxer. I love The Unbearable Lightness of Being, My Left Foot, and The Ballad of Jack and Rose. I'm okay with The Crucible, A Room With a View, Nine, The Age of Innocence. I'd rather watch paint dry than The Last of the MohicansAnd as far as The Gangs of New York and TWBB, his acting was so awesome I pretty much hated his character, so I they are toward the bottom of my DDL favorites list.
There Will Be Blood was ing great. He was such an awful person, but so was the kid that he s in the end. I was actually rooting for him in the end.
As for Gangs of New York. I didn't hate his character. But he was damn good in it too.
well that's an excellent take
I first recognized him in Gangs of New York. I was like "damn this guy is a bad muther a!". I looked forward to his movies from then on. I didn't even know that was him in The Last of the Mohicans because he looked so different in it.
Anyway, ya TWBB delivered. I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!
No, just that there are some actors who I enjoy watching even though they are not "Oscar" nominated stars. I've only seen a few of DDL's movies and the ones that I like some simply cannot stand like The Last of the Mohicans. I've tried to watch Gangs of New York but got bored and didn't finish it although that may have been because I was buzzed and just fell asleep. Most of the others on the list I haven't seen either. TWBB was awesome though. I hope I'm not ranting.
I"ll take that bet, and then i'm donating your ovary to science after.

IDK much aabout your topic but damn those are some nice asses
"Gandhi (very small part)"
I caught Gandi on HDMOV or HDNET the other night, was completely ambushed by some punk racist Zuid Afrikaan punk giving Gandhi .
It was Daniel DAY Lewis, about 30 years ago.
For the ones you haven't seen, you need to see In The Name Of The Father and The Boxer. Both are great, and so is DDL.
The Ballad Of Jack And Rose is really convoluted and pointless, and I suspect he only did the movie because his wife directed it. He wasn't bad in it tho.
I didn't see Nine because musicals for the most part are in re ed.
dave is now a typo for day?
its an extra letter and nowhere near each other on a keyboard!
misprint
way to back track.
tbh I loved Last of the Mohicans. Besides the story itself and the history behind it (which was portrayed brilliantly), the locations were breathtaking (Smokey Mountains, Chimney Rock) and the soundtrack remains one of my all-time favs.DDL is wonderful and gorgeous, but his films don't always hit the mark with me. My favorites are My Beautiful Laundrette and The Boxer. I love The Unbearable Lightness of Being, My Left Foot, and The Ballad of Jack and Rose. I'm okay with The Crucible, A Room With a View, Nine, The Age of Innocence. I'd rather watch paint dry than The Last of the Mohicans
Yeah I've been meaning to see them...The Boxer is available on netflix streaming so I'll catch it some time this week. I'll probably skip Nine...last musical I remember seeing was Dancer in the Dark (for a Film and Lit class), and it was excruciating. Bjork getting hung at the end was a silver lining though.
