Every Daniel Day-Lewis Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Loosely based on Italian auteur Federico Fellini's experiences crafting his masterpiece 8 1/2, the film Nine was primed to be one of the biggest hits of 2009. The film was penned by Oscar winner Anthony Minghella, costarred five Oscar-winning actresses (Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, and Penélope Cruz), was helmed by Oscar-nominated director Rob Marshall (Chicago) and featured Daniel Day-Lewis (fresh off his third Oscar win for There Will Be Blood).

When Nine hit theaters late in 2009, the $80 million musical fell flat on its face with critics and audiences. If you've seen the film, well, you know why. Though the production values are outstanding, the story is predictable, the songs are forgettable and Day-Lewis' overly angst-ridden performance (and flaky Italian accent) proved less than charming. Still, the thought of DDL singing and dancing should be enough for anyone to give this film a shot, even if it stands as the worst reviewed effort in the actor's oeuvre.
