IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
''He threatened to kill my Da!'' Nobody yells with more ferocity than Daniel Day-Lewis, who claimed one of the seven Oscar nominations bestowed on Irish director Jim Sheridan's tense 1993 drama. Falsely convicted in the IRA bombing of an Irish pub, Day-Lewis' Gerry Conlon is coerced into confessing and then struggles both to prove his own innocence and clear his father's name, after the elder Conlon (Pete Postlethwaite) imprisoned along with his son dies in jail.
