Default Older actors

It's clear that when many actors reach a certain age they'll basically start to phone in their performances thinking that their glory days are all behind them. This can often mean a move to more lighthearted fare (Deniro in Meet the Parents etc.) or a move to films that are a poor imitation of their greatest achievements (Deniro again in Righteous Kill). Even the action heroes of the 80s are getting on a bit now with Harrison Ford proving that Indy can't really cut it anymore now he's of a pensionable age and the Governator has plans to revive some iconic roles whether we want it or not. Are there any actors who even though they're past their prime can still bring the goods? Any retired actors who you think were consistently good throughout their career? Or any that you think should just give up now before their hips do?
