Leonardo DiCaprio is an amazing actor. This is undeniable truth. You can argue it, but you'd be wrong. The guy consistently gets to choose the best roles available and it is no secret that he's Martin Scorsese new favorite actor to work with (the previous of course being Robert De Niro).
Let's discuss some of Leonardo DiCaprio's best movies up to this point in his career.
The first movie I will discuss happened to be directed by, surprise surprise, Martin Scorsese, and is none other than Gangs Of New York. Being a native New Yorker, this film depicted the early days of New York City like I had never seen before.
Another film of Leonardo DiCaprio's that is definitely worth seeing, if you haven't already, is Shutter Island. This is a different type of movie for both Leo and director Martin Scorsese; it is dark, it is scary and it has a twist that will blow your mind.
Blood Diamond is another movie of his that blew my mind. This is a very important film, as it exposes the rest of the world to the type of industry that is the African diamond trade. I'm not saying this is all factual, but clearly they did their research.
Another amazing film that happens to star Leonardo DiCaprio is Inception. I don't think the role that he played in this film was particularly demanding, but that doesn't stop it from being an absolutely incredible movie.
One other movie of his that I feel the need to mention is Revolutionary Road. This movie was directed by Sam Mendes (of American Beauty fame) and also stars Kate Winslet in a story about a frustrated couple living in 1950s suburbia.
In reading this article, I am hopeful that there is at least one movie on this list which you have not yet seen and will not add to your movie list.
