4. Fight Club
5. Se7en


Most Underrated

Most Overrated

Top 5 favorite scenes
1. Fight Club Scene with Lou where he's getting his ass kicked and he's laughing. His laugh is so epic.
"Alright I got it, I got it! Ahhh shit I lost it."
2. Se7en what's in the box scene.
3. Burn After Reading The scene where he calls John Malkovich to black mail him.
4. AOJJ Train robbery scene.
5. Meet Joe Black death scene with Anthony Hopkins before they walk across the bridge.

One Role You wish he would have played.
Captain America. He was such a big fan of Captain America and was attached to play him at one point years ago but it never worked out.

*Also I would have liked to have seen him play dick Ecklund in the Fighter, he was attached to play him at one point too. It would have been interesting to see how he would have played the role even though Bale nailed it.

Who do you want him to work with next.
Christopher Nolan

No mentions of "Babel"?

One of my favourite scenes is from Inglourious Basterds, when Landa talks Italian to him. :lol:
Also "Burn After Reading", when he comes to the meeting with Malkovich on the Bike. :-D

You see, I appreciate his talent for comedy ...^^

could not agree more that Body of Lies is underrated! Also I was fairly impressed with his range in J.Edger

I feel Burn After Reading held great performances for him. Great actor who broke out of the "pretty boy" cliche. 2013 is a MASSIVE year for him, can't wait :thumbup:

I thought he was pretty good in Blood Diamond. Cant speak to the authenticity of the accent, but he was my favorite part of that movie. I found the other characters to be a bit thin, including Djimon Housou's.

Imo, DiCaprio is more or less rated, not -under or -over. And he's a proven box office draw. But very seldom do I think that he was perfectly cast in any particular movie.

He's one of the very few actors who has gone "full retard" (Im merely quoting Tropical Thunder here) and actually pulled it off, so props for that. Not a huge fan of Titanic, but he was very good in that and well-cast.

One of my favorite performances of his was in Woody Allen's Celebrity, though he was more or less playing himself (i think).

He's good in most things, but I'm kind of bummed that Scorsese has made him his leading man to the exclusion of other actors. He's no De Niro in his prime iow.
