No love for Basketball Diaries?? Movie was amazing. And personally, I liked Romeo Juliet. They popped ecstasy and had shoot outs lol. Awesome

I'd take Leo DiC over Christ Bale any day

My two favorite DiCaprio movies are probably Basketball Diaries and Blood Diamond. :thumbsup:

Trivia: DiCaprio was set to play Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, but opted out because of how controversial it was. One of the catalysts for this was activist Gloria Steinem, who would soon become Bale's stepmom.

Even tho I think DiCaprio is the better actor, I'm glad Bale got the role. DiCaprio would've ruined the movie for me, and I think the part was perfect for Bale.

Bale is good but Dicaprio wins the bout hands down.

No mention of Aviator yet? Whats wrong with you people?

Outside of The Departed, I've never been impressed with DiCrapio. Bale is the superior actor, especially due to his role in The Fighter.

Yeah if I had to make a list I would say Gangs of New York is probably my second favorite movie of all time (the first being Cinderella Man)

I usually stay out of these threads but, I'd like to know who impresses you? DiCaprio is an excellent actor. He played a damn good drug addict in The Basketball Diaries. Also, early in his career the dude played a full on retarded kid in Gilbert Grape and nailed it. That's hard to pull off. He can play any role IMO, even a retard lol.

I can't wait to see him as a southern racist slave owner......

This. All of this. Have to mention his Oscar nominated performance in Blood Diamond as well.

You've clearly never seen Gangs of New York or The Aviator.

No kidding. Whenever I think of Howard Hughs it's Dicaprio's performance that comes to mind. If you've ever watched the special features on the DVD there is a part where Leo talks about studying extreme cases of OCD. He nailed it.
