Some Of The Most Memorable Acting Performances From The Versatile Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio

By Daniel Arthur


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.

This article will highlight some of Leonardo DiCaprio's best movies to date.

The first movie I would like to mention is Titanic. While it is certainly not my favorite movie of his by any means, you have to give credit where credit is due. This is the second highest grossing film of all time.

One incredible movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio starred is Catch Me If You Can. In this Steven Spielberg directed chase film inspired by a true story, Leo plays the incredibly "resourceful" (for lack of a better word) Frank Abagnale.

When it came out, The Beach was one of my favorite movies. This movie is paradise turned into Lord Of The Rings. This film was also one of the first that Academy Award Winner Danny Boyle directed.

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.

I hope that there is one or more movies from Leonardo DiCaprio's impressive catalogue on this list that you have yet to view, but now will consider seeing.
