Whether you like him or not, Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most popular actors alive and will be for the foreseeable future (barring a Joaquin Phoenix meltdown). I happen to fall into the former group; I think he’s incredible and it is clear that at this point in time whatever movies he wants to do, he can.
But which of his films are the best? The following movies are my favorite Leonardo DiCaprio films in his already illustrious career.
Let’s start out with The Basketball Diaries. This movie is incredibly powerful and shows you what drugs can do to even the best athletes. Leo stars as an up and coming basketball player who gets hooked on some really bad stuff.
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 diretor Martin Scorsese; it is dark, it is scary and it has a twist that will blow your mind.
Another great film that stars Leo is Blood Diamond. Make no mistake, this is not an easy movie to get through. I had trouble getting through the first scene of the movie, which rivals Saving Private Ryan’s bloodiness. A great movie nonetheless.
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.
Who can make a list of Leonardo DiCaprio films and not include The Departed. There is a reason that Leo was cast in the role of Billy Costigan, a cop on the wrong side of an undercover investigation. His paranoia in this film rubbed off on me. This movie is directed by the great Martin Scorcese and has an all star cast including Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen and the lovely Vera Farmiga.
These are just some of Leo’s best films thus far. I just looked up his iMDB page and it appears he has a whopping 22 films in the making! So don’t be surprised if you see another article of this sort soon with even better films of his.
