    Funny that, he's probably one of my favourite actors, I think he's great. Gangs of New York was incredible, Bill The Butcher up there with the single greatest performances of all time, but you come to expect nothing less from Daniel Day Lewis.

    Raging Bull was a great film, they'll probably remake that soon because that's the way these things are going, it'll probably be crap.

    A very fine actor Tel.
    I though My Left Foot was class.
    Last of the Mohicans as well.
    Great movies.
    Edit - The Boxer & In the Name of the Father as well.

    Just finished series one of Detectorists, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of gentle British comedy. It's the best new British show I've seen for some time, lovely heartwarming stuff.

    The film "The Departed" with De Caapria, Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon directed by Scorsese should be ;placed among the the classics.

    For all he has a good record overall one actor I just an not take to is Ben Affleck. Maybe I am envious, or he is just a smarmy ba$tard, he ain't my cup of tea,

    Agree to an extent but Argo and The Town are very, very good films. Think he directed them both too.

    His best mate Matt Damon on the other hand... Probably the worst big name actor around for me.

    Watched "A United Kingdom" on Sunday. I never knew the story behind the film, once again a piece of forgotten history.

    Watched a recent Graham Norton programme over here and Andrew Lloyd-Webber was thinking about making a musical about it but couldn't get the rights.
