the first three you listed are brilliant, yet to watch the later.

I'd agree with almost everything listed so far, adding Blood Diamond and Gangs of New York

The first Kill Bill is right up there.

Hell yes. I think I have a guy-crush on Daniel Day-Lewis. Apparently Gangs Of New York was filmed partly over Xmas, and he stayed in character throughout, even at Xmas lunch with his family! Bet that was interesting...

Anyone who doesn't love Daniel Day-Lewis is lying to themselves. He is genuinely my favourite actor of all time, he is so dedicated to his craft its amazing;

'He began his lengthy, self-disciplined process by taking lessons as an apprentice butcher, and while filming, he was never out of character between takes (including keeping his character's New York accent).[2] At one point during filming, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He refused to wear a warmer coat or to take treatment because it was not in keeping with the period'

'After Gangs of New York, Day-Lewis's wife, director Rebecca Miller offered him the lead role in her film The Ballad of Jack and Rose, in which he played a dying man with regrets over how his life had evolved and over how he had raised his teenage daughter. During filming he arranged to live separately from his wife in order to achieve the "isolation" needed to focus on his own character's reality.'

'Day-Lewis put his personal version of "method acting" into full use in 1989 with his performance as Christy Brown in Jim Sheridan's My Left Foot which won him numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor. During filming, his eccentricities came to the fore, due to his refusal to break character Playing a severely paralyzed character on screen, off screen Day-Lewis had to be wheeled around the set in his wheelchair, and crew members would curse at having to lift him over camera and lighting wires, all so that he might gain insight into all aspects of Brown's life, including the embarrassments. He broke two ribs during filming from assuming a hunched-over position in his wheelchair for so many weeks.'

Hell yes - I remember the first film I saw daniel Day Lewis in was "Last of the Mohicans" and it was superb. His acting ability even back then was tremendous.

There Will Be Blood
Mulholland Drive
Eternal Sunshine (even though it is a bit of a 'quirky' indie film)

This list has got some wtf moments on it but isn't too bad. Fair play for putting Hidden at number 1:
