Leonardo Dicaprio has a strong case to be the best actor of his generation...

[stoneface]

most improved...

 

[American.Loo]

DiCaprio gets cast in the best movies.

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

He got a case though...in his generation atleast. Can't name too many actors below 35 who're seeing him. He's been in 5-6 dope to classic movies. Inception almost cracked a Billion. Shutter Island was very good. The Departed was dope. Catch Me if you Can, The Aviator & Blood Diamond were great. Titantic was the highest grossing film til Avatar.

If he does J. Edgar, Sinatra & The Great Gatsby any justice, his resume will be impeccable. Especially with Gatsby.

funny the only movies i liked leo in was the first 3

and my vote is Christian Bale 2 many classics

americna psycho

teh fighter

the dark knight

the prestige

the machinist

Laurel Canyon(personal fav)

 

[Neslom]

I agree Leo is the most improved. But I have to go with Bale too, the dedication he puts in is honorable.

 

[Maalik]

I can see Bale being considered....i think he has more "filler" than Leo but, he def. got some classics. American Psycho being one, The Batman reboots too.

He acted his ass of in gilberts grape.. while understood.. me and my boy use to stay jokin on it back in the day but he did his thing there.. I still havent seen Basketball diary.... its a shame black actors dont get these type of choices/options for movies

 

[Jay Pee]

I like Leo he improved a lot I thought he was going to be stagnant, but he made a lot of strides. He does get roles in some of the best films out there though. And I thought he acting and accent was pretty weak in Blood Diamonds.

 

[master_mentor]

Co-Sign and good thread. Who would have thought that this development is possible after a movie like Titanic? Johnny Depp comes for me second...

 

[TimroD]

yea u forgot basketball diaries

and the beach

2 great films

heard somewhere that he gonna play akira in a steven spielberg movie

 

[A.J. Trillzynski]

Leo is a great actor but imma ride with Terry Gilliam's opinion that Heath Ledger was the greatest actor of his generation.

and even though he died very early he still has a resume that's hard to match, say what you want about the movies but he gave a standout performance in each of these:

10 Things I Hate About You
The Patriot
Monster's Ball

If this is true then I will boycott it.

 

[allied]

I don't think Leo's the best actor of anything but he has improved alot.

 

[So ILL]

He's a good actor and all......but I laughed when he died in Titanic....nigga was stiff as a log and his girl just let him fall like that....lol

This.

An average actor IMO, but has a knack for very high quality scripts.

A producer as well.

 

[illogics]

.....Johnny Depp

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

Leo dope, he def gets the best movie roles

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

and The Beach is underrated

 

[lighthearted25]

i could agree w/ this. i actully think he is a great actor as opposed to some in here saying he is average or not the best. he's a natural imo.my favs are basketball diaries, titantic and revolutionary road.

 

[rice n gravy]

and if River Phoenix never died Leo wouldnt have even got the movies he did

just sayin..........
