Out of his 32 films, I have seen 26 of them. I will rank all of them, and then give a short review of each of my top 10:
26) Don't Look Up
25) The Quick And The Dead
24) J. Edgar
23) The Man In The Iron Mask
22) The Beach
21) This Boy's Life
20) Body Of Lies
19) Romeo + Juliet
18) The Great Gatsby
17) Before The Flood
21) This Boy's Life
20) Body Of Lies
19) Romeo + Juliet
18) The Great Gatsby
17) Before The Flood
16) Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood
15) Killers Of The Flower Moon
15) Killers Of The Flower Moon
14) Revolutionary Road
13) The Aviator
12) Gangs Of New York
11) Blood Diamond
10) The Wolf Of Wall Street - Leo's third film with director Martin Scorsese, and he definitely brings out his 'A' game for his features.
Portraying stockbroker Jordan Belfort, every time he is on screen you just love him more and more.
Even though he is playing one of the most famous fraudsters, you just love him because it is played by DiCaprio.
9) Marvin's Room - Not very well known, but a well received 90's comedy drama.
With a stellar cast including Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton and Robert DeNiro that is a very heart-warming drama with a nice mix of added comedy.
Also, DiCaprio's character gives us some coming-of-age elements.
8) The Revenant - When you read about what Leo has done in this film, you will be shocked.
The true and horrific events about frontiersman Hugh Glass is a spectacle worth seeing on the big screen and the leading performance of DiCaprio really gives it that magic.
7) What's Eating Gilbert Grape - One of Leo's much earlier roles. Alongside Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis this 90's tear-jerker is lead by DiCaprio's terrific performance that some say is his best work.
Playing a mentally handicapped teenager, DiCaprio really creates an amazing character that everyone just falls in love with.
6) Django Unchained - A sadly underwritten character in a more minor role for Leo. Yet, he manages to strike a presence that was frightening for a lot of the audience. His vision of the evil plantation owner Calvin Candie is delightfully unhinged and vicious at times.
A bit out of DiCaprio's comfort zone and yet acts as if he's done this plenty of times in the past.
5) Shutter Island - Another partnership with Scorsese, and once again Leo creates such a memorable character and reaches new levels in his repertoire.
Giving a portrayal of a vulnerable and terribly haunted character that never showed his true self, not even in the final scene that had everybody talking for months after its release
4) Titanic - Obviously could not discard this one. This is many people's iconic DiCaprio performance.
His relationship with Kate Winslet on screen is definitely one that will never be forgotten and it almost eclipses the main plot.
3) The Departed - Battling with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg to take center stage, DiCaprio's performance as Billy Costigan was definitely a hard one to beat in this Oscar winning gangster epic.
You become engulfed in his performance and heavily concerned about Billy's dilemmas. Under the wing of director, Martin Scorsese, his game definitely steps up a few notches.
He really grabbed onto a troubled character and created someone that could and possibly should have won best leading actor the Oscars that year.
2) Catch Me If You Can - A very believable performance as the most famous of all con-men, Frank Abagnale Jnr.
His performance as a charmer and smooth talker, but behind the mask is a misunderstood young man thinking this is just a bit of fun. His screen relationship with Tom Hanks as the man pursuing him, just adds that extra sparkle to his portrayal.
1) Inception - His character (Dom Cobb) may not carry this film, like in some. But his role contributes so much to this masterpiece.
Showing glimpses of a flawed and fragile man who knows more about others than himself, this performance was as vital as the terrifically complex plot.
13) The Aviator
12) Gangs Of New York
11) Blood Diamond
