I voted for Gilbert Grape. Probably my favorite performance of his yet.

Me too. I think DiCaprio has had to fight harder than most against his looks in recent years because he made such an amazing impact in Gilbert Grape. That said, I think his work in The Departed, The Aviator and Gangs of New York was pretty damn great and he's certainly one of the most interesting actors to come out of America in recent years. I'd like to see him do something a bit less brooding, cos he's got a lot of charisma that has largely been untapped (see The Aviator).

The retard vote's too tempting. It's definitely the closest I've ever seen him to actually inhabiting a character's skin.

I would go with the Avaitor as Hughes is just so hard to get right, and here Leo used all of his skills he has gained so far.

I watched The Departed last night, and while I thought DiCaprio was awesome in that, I got to give it to him for The Aviator. Way of the future way of the future way of the future.

Without question, The Departed is the most entertaining performance IMO. But probably not better than The Aviator. Not bad in The Basketball Diaries either.

THE AVIATOR, by far. Should've beaten Foxx that year.

Why the fuck is Blood Diamond on the list? If anything it's one of the worst performances of his career.

But then again I actually thought he did a good job in Gangs of New York so maybe my judgement is all screwed up.

He's not terrible in BLOOD DIAMOND, but he's not particularly good, either.

And remember that this poll was created by Spike1983, CHUD's answer to Raymond Babbitt.

DiCaprio's in that crowd of brillant actors where it's not a question of if and/or when they win an Oscar...they will. The question is what will be the performance that wins em the gold; for my money, Depp and Winslet are also in that group.

What's his best performance? My vote goes to The Departed. Although I won't be surprised to see him surpass that performance in a few years...

I second that thought!

Just looking at their choices post-Oscar, it's obvious we'll be seeing DiCaprio nominated again numerous times (and eventually winning!)

His performance in the Departed remineded me of his turn in Romeo + Juliet for some reason, not that thats a bad thing as I think its been quite forgotten these days.

This Boy's Life . . . all the more great because it was one of his earliest roles. A prelude of things to come.

Romeo and Juliet was and remains awesome. Harold Perrineau may as well be speaking in tongues half the time, but damn if he doesn't make it compelling.

Leo is my favorite actor, so this thread is right up my alley. I never watched him as a young tv star so I had no idea who he was when WEGG came out. His role in that film caught my immediate attention. I own just about every film he has ever done with the exception of This Boys Life. It was good, I just never got around to buying it. And, I haven't seen The Departed or Blood Diamond yet, but I look forward to them both.

He is fantastic in Basketball Diaries, R&J, Marvin's Room and one of my personal faves - Total Eclipse. I think he's getting better with age, but that slicked back 'do he's sporting has got to go.
