Leonardo DiCaprio
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?

Re: Leonardo DiCaprio
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.

Re: Leonardo DiCaprio
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.

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.

Re: Leonardo DiCaprio
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.

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.

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