Five by Five Favorite Actors or Actresses

[Sasquatch]

Daniel Day Lewis

1. The Last of the Mohicans
2. Gangs of New York
3. In the Name of the Father
4. The Boxer
5. There Will Be Blood

One of the finest actors of our generation without a doubt. Last of the Mohicans was dreadful, though, as was DDL's performance which seemed forced and contrived.

 

[Sasquatch]

1. Eastern Promises

The naked fight scene in the Turkish bath was something of a departure from his Aragorn days, wasn't it?

I think that is such an underrated movie. So many great lines.

I got a loaded .45. you've got pimples.

It's a remake of an Italian movie which was better.

Lmao...yeah, it certainly wasn't his best performance, but I still love that movie. Now that I think of it, the best parts of the movie were most definitely the dramatized action sequences void of any dialogue. The scene where Chingachcook kills Magua after Magua kills his son is unforgettable.

I would list my movies based on performance very differently. I went by personal favorites of of the top of my head.

Another one I can't believe I forgot...I was first impressed by his talents after watching one of his standup routines of all things, but this guy is fantastic.

Jamie Foxx

...and paired with another of my favorites, this one looks like it has some potential.
