Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. My next three would be Day Lewis in other films too, the man is absurdly good at acting and, for me, is the best film actor of all time.

I'll add Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator, if only for this speech.

Sean Patrick Flanery, Willem Dafoe and David Della Rocco were all really good I thought! Might be more to do with me loving that movie though.
