Alright guys, it’s time to find a new person to complain to the Oscars about. DiCaprio has finally won his Academy Award for his stunning portrayal of Hugh Glass. Leonardo has proven time after time that he can tackle any role that’s thrown his way.
Even when the movie itself ends up being mediocre (as is the case with a couple entries on this list), DiCaprio defies all odds and manages to draw the audience to him. He’s received plenty of backlash in recent years, but given his star status that’s an inevitability.
This list seeks to rank the fifteen best Leonardo DiCaprio performances. Not everyone is going to agree with the choices on this list and that makes sense. DiCaprio has such a huge career, that there’s no definitive answer to what his greatest performance happens to be. Know, however, that there has been a lot of time put into the final list, so respect the author and feel free to share your own opinion!
15. Marvin’s Room
Early in Leonardo’s career, some people believed that he was typecast as “the troubled teenager.” Looking through his filmography, one might realize that he did have a tendency to play this role, but he always did it well. One of the best versions of this kind of character archetype can be found in the underseen gem Marvin’s Room.
What’s really impressive about DiCaprio’s performance is that he’s able to steal scenes even when he’s up against an all-star cast and an occasionally overly melodramatic script. Leonardo is performing alongside some of the most well-known acting greats in cinema. Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, and Robert Deniro all have important roles in this movie.
Luckily DiCaprio is able to hold his own throughout. Whether he’s better than Keaton is up for continue…
