scandi it’s time this generation learned
my side of the story this actor is much
more than just a pretty face
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our top 10 favorite
Leonardo DiCaprio performances number 10
king louis xiv philippe the man in the
iron mask kicking off our list is the
film that gives us 2 leos for the price
of one this movie has DiCaprio playing
two radically different characters
simultaneously and by convincingly
portraying a pair of identical twins
he makes us both love and loathe him
that’s for you my brother back to the
prison you shall go and into the mask
you hate really wear it until you love
it it’s hard not to sympathize with the
good hearted boy who’s forced into
solitary confinement but it’s equally
hard not to detest the eager maniacal
womanizing tyrant I’m hungry Oh
I’ll have some food broked oh I like to
eat alone by the way you’ll be leaving
tomorrow
number 9 Jack Dawson Titanic we would
not have let Jack drown kidding aside
next up is the larger-than-life film
about a larger-than-life ship that
proved Leo’s larger-than-life star power
girls everywhere fell for DiCaprio as
the artistic working-class scoundrel
even though Leo is now embarrassed by
this performance without strong acting
this film would have sunk to the depths
like its namesake in an ocean full of
special effects
number eight Romeo Montague Romeo and
Juliet soft what light through yonder
window breaks this is the role that made
Leo a Hollywood sex symbol a full year
before he boarded the RMS Titanic
playing the most romantic figure of all
time
DiCaprio props up this modern retelling
of the beloved Shakespeare classic by
doing what he does best
keeping female viewers entranced with
his swoon worthy delivery of iconic
lines especially while clad in shining
armor my lips two blushing pilgrims
ready stand to smooth that rough touch
good pilgrim you do wrong your hand too
much number seven J Edgar Hoover J Edgar
many were surprised when DiCaprio was
cast as famed FBI director J Edgar
Hoover ignoring their physical
differences Hoover was uncharismatic and
guarded which makes Leo subtle
performance in this Clint Eastwood
biopic that much more inspired why I
gained a reputation for delivering
groceries when I was ten years old I was
the fastest in the neighborhood it was
just a nickname his talent shines
through make up false teeth toupees
dental implants and prosthetics that
take him from age 36 to 77 and while the
film earned mixed reviews DiCaprio’s
work garnered him a Golden Globe
nomination Nixon is he’s gonna comfort
at all it he’ll crucify me in my Bureau
I’m afraid of what will happen if I’m if
I’m not here to protect number six Frank
Abagnale jr. catch me if you can I’d
like to take you out for a steak dinner
Oh taking full advantage of Leo’s charm
and dashing good looks
this film features our babyface 28 year
old star as a 16 year old identity
stealing rascal even beside acting
greats like Tom Hanks and Christopher
Walken DiCaprio steals the show that’s
the truth he easily brings the real-life
adventures of this teenage thief to the
big screen and oozes confidence and
magnetism every step of the way dr.
Harris
yes do you concur number 5 William Billy
Costigan jr. the departed as the central
focus of this masterful Martin Scorsese
ensemble cast DiCaprio takes on the role
of an undercover cop who attempts to
infiltrate the Irish mob the result is a
dramatic tour de force where DiCaprio
struggles with a deadly situation that
is spiraling out of his control still a
cop arguably the most mature role of his
career it also allows Leo to add
never-before-seen grit to a screen
persona
Boston accent included two pills great
why don’t you just give me a bottle of
scotch and a hand gun to blow my head
off but we done here with this
psychiatry bullshit you can look did I
just put myself through him daddy and
what if that was a legitimate threat
think about it number four Danny Archer
Blood Diamond
2006 saw DiCaprio give an even grittier
performance in this film and for his
trouble he earned an Oscar nod his part
as a Zimbabwean mercenary involved in a
diamond industry conflict seems far
removed from his other roles but it’s
similar in that the character openly
struggles with his inner demons and
allows DiCaprio to demonstrate his
dramatic skills most memorable of all
was his mastery of the incredibly
difficult South African accent uh-uh-uh
takes getting yeasty number three Jim
Carroll the Basketball Diaries too bad
father was just starting to enjoy myself
this demanding role gives us an early
glimpse of the stars Talent based on Jim
Carroll’s autobiographical novel the
movie has Leo in the lead
as the most talented member of a
basketball team who gets sucked into a
world of addiction and prostitution
though the film was treated harshly
after its release it shows us just how
willing and able DiCaprio is to take his
characters to exceptionally dark places
this take it easy Jim
can’t blame me for trying number two
Howard Hughes the aviator the most fine
folks down there still call me cute
ailments mr. Keyes now this Scorsese
biopic truly sees DiCaprio transform
into the infamously
off-balance speed talking aviation
visionary who suffers from
obsessive-compulsive disorder he brings
passion to his representation of this
powerful mustache wearing houston native
and conveys the real-life billionaires
aging process in both tone and evolving
maturity the result was a well earned
Academy Award nomination for best actor
since Leo managed to grip his audience
and never let go I don’t have any shoes
number one
Arnie grape What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
taking the top spot on our list is
DiCaprio’s career-defining and
spectacularly convincing role as a
mentally disabled child fresh off his
days on growing pains DiCaprio uses
believable mannerisms and his ability to
make a character both loveable and
genuine to earn the first Oscar
nomination of his career
thanks to this heartbreaking performance
Leo proved he’d be a presence around
Hollywood for years to come mama stop it
