    Id say Johnny Depp is up there and Heath woulda been (untimely, tragic deaths always poison the well as far as objective judgment), but Leo is a good choice.

    Wait ? , forgot about Daniel Day-Lewis. But hes like the Andre 3000 of movies.

    Both technically good films but with average scripts IMO.

    He's a great actor, but major part of his success is that he's being offered intersting and versatile roles. He's on the good way to be considered the best actor of generation, but imo Edward Norton or Mark Ruffalo are more talented.

    Yeah but a good filmmaker.

    I liked him in The Aviator and Blood Diamonds. The Departed as well.

    In between all that and other very excellent films he's been in, he's pretty slightly above average to me still

    I wouldnt say he's the best actor, though.

    This Guy Knows What Hes Talkin About...

    Javier Bardem
    Gael García Bernal
    Diego Luna
    Mark Ruffalo
    Jake Gyllenhal
    Joaquin Phoenix
    Josh Brolin


    And Soon To Be After A Few More Roles

    James Franco
    Jesse Eisenberg

    Are Better Then DiCaprio

    Leo Is Just One Lucky Sonafabtich To Have Worked with Marty, Cameron, Spielberg etc....That ? Just Puts ? In The Seats Out Of Name Recognition Alone..(End Rant)

    Leo's been a top actor to me ever since I saw him in Basketball Diaries. Frightening how dead on he was as a crackhead. I'm also impressed by Paul Dano. And if Dakota continues acting into adulthood I'm expecting a couple Oscar noms for her as well.

    Leo plays the same boring ass role in every movie and I've gone to sleep on all his movies except blood diamond which he was the same boring person. He's not as good of an actor as a Brad Pitt whose played in fight club, snatch, Troy, Seven, Brad Pitt has played in several roles unlike Dicaprio.
