DDL by a small margin. Phoenix gave the best performance since DDL in TWBB and I don't think anyone has been as good since.

I used to say there is a Mount Rushmore of modern English language male performances (no order, say post-67) where when you listed them side by side and you could see it somehow - not just that they are great but that they are equally great and comparatively "large" too by large I mean that seem to transcend the discussion and act as definitive. That is 50 years of cinema (67-17) and sure there's a lot that's great work - Keitel in Bad Lieutenant, Finney in Under the Volcano, Irons in Dead Ringers, Phoenix in The Master, Washington in Malcolm X and many more - but none have what the "Mount Rushmore" ones have - all the elements of actor, role, performance choices, film, and the material the film is covering in and of itself........ it's hard to explain - but DDL's performance was like that the day it was released and the next time I see one I'll post about it.  Brando Last Tango Pacino - DDA & GF II DeNiro - Taxi Driver & Raging Bull DDL - TWBB |

Phoenix is very, very good but not really on the same level as DDL.

Phoenix is my #4 of all time for Lead Actor.
Day-Lewis is my #1 of all time, in any category.

Both mesmerizing and amazing performances directed by the master PTA. My choice is Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, who gives the best performance of all time in my opinion

Daniel by a hair.
Both are Phenomenal and both give one of my all-time favourite performances, but neither is even my personal winner in their year.

I hate ties, but this is a goddamn tie if there ever was one.
These are two of the ten best performances ever given, IMO.
