[elgaz]

All the usual choices - Downey, Norton, Jackman.

Don't think Sam Worthington has really done anything astounding yet.

Love anything with John Cusack in it also.

I also think Brad Pitt is an under-rated actor, so much focus is put on the Jolie relationship that people forget he's actually good at his job.

Gary Oldman
Daniel-Day Lewis
Leonardo DiCaprio
Robert Downey Jr.
Viggo Mortensen

[TheFuture]

Based purely on recent work? I'll mention the films that I enjoyed their performances in:

Michael Fassbender (Hunger, Inglourious Basterds, Fish Tank)
Robert Downey Jr. (Zodiac, Tropic Thunder, Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man 1 + 2)
Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Brothers)
Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, The Killer Inside Me)
Leonardo Di Caprio (The Departed, Shutter Island)

Honourable mention goes to Christian Bale, I nearly always enjoy his performances. Even in the much maligned Public Enemies and Terminator Salvation I think he did the best he could with what he had to work with.
