2. Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood - Just saw this now, this man is something else. Literally man, no wonder why he does movies very rarely.

3. Denzel Washington in Training Day - Favourite actor in his best role

Both great performances but I think Day-Lewis' best acting job was in My Left Foot (although the movie isn't near as good as TWBB) and Denzel's best role and movie was Malcolm X.

Pacino in both godfather 1 and 2
..and these two movies are my all time favorites but I think Pacino's best role was in Dog Day Afternoon.

Laurrence Fishburne as Ike Turner. Heath Ledger as the Joker. Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. Wouldn't say they are the three best i seen but they were all very great in their roles.
