I don't particularly think Brando is amazing, he's done some fantastic work at times, but he seems to come off boorish and heavy in his style many a time.
for me its a tossup between Daniel Day Lewis or Gary Oldman, I haven't seen many other actors actually change their speech patterns and mannerisms for a role like these guys have. Most "actors" play a certain type of personality, even greats such as Jack Nicholson do this most of the time; theres a huge difference between actor and star and these two are prime example of what a textbook definitive actor really is.
