- 'There Will Be Blood' (2007) Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Of all the great movies Daniel Day-Lewis has appeared in, one of them more or less towers over all the others, much like how the character at its center is a towering monster of a man.
- 'In the Name of the Father' (1993) The second of three Jim Sheridan + Daniel Day-Lewis collaborations, In the Name of the Father is also the best of the lot.
- 'The Age of Innocence' (1993) Directed by Martin Scorsese. Though Martin Scorsese isn't typically associated with the romance genre, in 1993, he released a great one with The Age of Innocence.
- 'Phantom Thread' (2017) Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. 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.
- LINCOLN (2012) For his performance as Abraham Lincoln, Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar, as well as a Golden Globe and the SAG Award. Day-Lewis’ Lincoln is an unexpected creation, far from The Great Man orator that has become the Lincoln cliche.
- THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007) Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” brought Day-Lewis his second Academy Award (as well as his first Golden Globe and first SAG Award).
- MY LEFT FOOT (1989) Day-Lewis won his first of three Best Actor Academy Awards for his portrayal of Cristy Brown, the Irish writer and painter who could neither walk nor talk due to the effects of cerebral palsy.
- PHANTOM THREAD (2017) In what he has said will be his final film performance, Day-Lewis portrays Reynolds Woodcock, a top London fashion designer in the 1950s, a confirmed bachelor who regularly goes through a parade of beautiful young would-be muses, who are eventually shown the door by his business partner and sister Cyril (Lesley Manville).
