Favorite intense physical acting scenes/intense performances

I was watching some scenes from Gangs of New York and There will be blood, and was reminded of Daniel Day Lewis’s mastery of physical acting. What are some moments in a film where you were awed by an actor chewing scenery or wowed by their range or physical presence in a scene? How has the scene held up in subsequent rewatches of the movie

As musclebound as Jeep Swenson was, I was impressed he could smoothly lay on the ground. It’s held up well.

The jailhouse scene from Raging Bull. Robert De Niro takes the intensity dials up to 15 in that scene. Hard to watch.
