  Top 10 : Daniel Day Lewis

  • 15 Dec 2009

  Gandhi (1982) In 1982 a barely recognisable Daniel Day-Lewis landed a small part in Richard Attenborough’s Ghandi. Rumour has it that Day-Lewis approached the Brit director directly about the role, which served as a platform for later projects. In his small scene, Day-Lewis plays a street thug who is chastised by his mother for bullying peaceful religious activist, Ghandi.

  Top 10: Martin Scorsese

  • 05 Mar 2010

  Mean Streets (1973) Scorsese’s defining moment came at the age of 31, when his eighth film Mean Streets was put into production. Having previously worked on projects such as Boxcar Bertha and Street Scenes, Scorsese was given little free reign to work his magic. That is, until he was urged by his peers to finish the script for this gritty crime-drama.
