Let's discuss...Mr. A-List.

I'm personally a little tired of the guy, but I give him his due for being a very talented actor.


What do you think is his best performance?

Revolutionary Road

Solid Snake

From Catch Me If You Can onward..I've yet to be bored. Everything before....I was annoyed by him. Of course...I was a child at that time..so I got tired of girls not shutting the fuck up about him. As an adult and watching some of those films he did...fucking overhyped to an extreme but he was on a good path onto which we have now.

Favorite performance would have to be Catch Me if You Can. That having been said, I didn't really respect him as an adult actor until the Departed.

Solid Snake

Probably was the Aviator when I started to really like him.

JohnnyMovie

Gangs Of New York (2002)

Charlie Goose

Titanic is one of my favorite movies, but I can't say his performance was excellent there.

Nor Gilbert Grape. He went full retard, man. You never go full retard.

I'll say The Departed is my favorite performance.

SterlingBen

Critters 3, obviously.

Catch me if you can is when I started to take him as a serious actor. Great stuff.

Solid Snake

I had to google that to see if you were serious..and you were.

Tarantino

I picked Blood Diamond, but it was a tough choice. I also loved him in The Departed.

Match

Growing Pains. j/k

He was great in The Departed.

AnonomusBob15

The Aviator, though I thought he was excellent in Shutter Island

I picked Blood Diamond because it was the first movie I saw that made me start taking him seriously as an actor.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape no doubt about it. His later roles starting with Titanic just seem so forced including the accents, the looks and such. I am not a huge fan but he is decent.

Troy Stiffler

The Depahted.

Fist of Doom

Titanic. Not my favorite of his films, but I thought his earnest performance carried that movie.

The Aviator, it's an all around great performance.

OldBoy

The Basketball Diaries...prior to his star status, gave an emotionally spent and raw performance. none of his trademark facial hair and an incredible role in an ok movie.

rexinnih

Had to go for the Aviator. Great performance.

This list reminded me that I've never been a big fan of his work. I think that his best performance so far has been Inception.

Aside from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" I wasn't a fan of anything pre-Catch Me If You Can, but starting with that movie I've consistently liked everything he's been involved in. I'd say his best performance has been in Revolutionary Road.

Tom Creo

Incredible filmography. I went with The Aviator.

Dan

Had to go with The Aviator. The Departed is a close second.

Went with the Aviator too. Although like people have said everything after "Catch Me If You Can " has been pretty good
