80's Movie Weekend

Way back in 1989 Daniel Day-Lewis was considered a great actor and only enhanced his reputation with the weekend's flashback movie.  Here we are in 2013 and the dude is still killing it on projects like "Lincoln."  This is the first movie though that I really remember Day-Lewis from probably because he won his first Academy Award for his portrayal of Christy Brown, and Irishman born with cerebral palsy.  I think you can watch all of this movie on Youtube.  Anyway, here is the trailer for "My Left Foot"...
