Best Leo DiCaprio scene/perfomance in your opinion

Just saw that dinner scene in Django Unchained with Leo, and for me, that was some of the greatest acting scene by Leo. Was blowing away by that realness and emotion he put in that character and in particular, in that scene. I'm going to start seeing his whole filmography. Already saw Inception, The Revenant (great scenes too), Shutter Island and Titanic.
Recommend me more great scenes by him and next movies staring him, please!!

The fact he cut his hand open by slamming it down onto a glass and carried on with that performance is amazing

I still remember one of his earlier performances in This Boy's Life with Bobby D. Great performances by both of them.
Edit: Beaten like Tobias Wolfe.

I fucking love him in Wolf Of Wall Street. I'm a New York guy and he nails the whole...persona and aura of that type of man as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention some of the insanely funny comedic timing.

Leo just has so many great flims/roles that I don't even know where to begin.

Catch me if you can is great because of the dynamic between him and Tom Hanks.
What's eating Gilbert Grape is another great film even though it's one of his earlier roles.
The Departed is one of my favorite films of all-time and has a star-studded cast.
Aviator is a film that I thought I wouldn't like but is actually one of his underrated films imo.
Then you have Blood Diamond and Gangs of New York which are good but have some great moments.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with any Leo film from 2002-2010.

Not my favorite, but the scene within a scene with Tim olyphant's character in once upon a time blew me away.

my favorite would be either the dinner scene from Django.

Man, there's at least one scene in every movie. 2016 is like 2 decades too late to finally have recognized it. xD

He's had tons of amazing scenes, but the whole sequence where he's just absolutely wrecked from the ludes in Wolf of Wall Street is incredible and hilarious.

I actually really liked his performance in Once Upon a Time. The single take where he messes up his line and the other take where he's holding the girl hostage. Just amazing stuff

Specific scene is probably the Django scene as well. As far as film performance, I've always had a soft spot for The Aviator

The flashback sequence in shutter island is my personal favorite. I didn't love the movie itself but that scene will always stick with me.

Gilbert Grape. First saw it when I was like 10, and even at that I age I knew I was watching an amazing performance

a lot of great stuff he's done. when thinking though, probably Wolf of Wall Street and The Revenant are probably his best. Oh and The Aviator. Ah hell he's pretty great in Once Upon a Time as well. Lot's of stuff.

Gilbert Grape is really top perf by Leo.
But he has done many great roles. My thoughts of Leo changed after seeing Blood Diamond. After Titanic I thought that he was going to be stuck in those roles.. the beach sucked and the man with the iron mask was forgettable.. but then Blood diamond happened and damn!!

So Gilbert Grape made me definitely notice him and Blood diamond made me a fan. After these role he has performed amazingly, like in Aviator, shutter island, the Departed..

Perhaps he is the Meryl Streep of male actors 😎

My girlfriend was a self-described "Leo hater" because she's a contrarian and thought he was overrated until I tricked her into watching this film because she loves Johnny Depp. She legit said "WTF, that's not Leo, no way that's not a real autistic person", safe to say after watching that film she was a fan and realized she was wrong all these years.

One of my favorite actors to this day. He's great in everything he's done, but my top three would be...


1. Gilbert Grape
2. The Revenant
3. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Agreed. All of his scenes with that girl were gold.

I love the scene when he meets her. Their whole conversation is so good.

I love this scene because it's mostly the emotions on his face as it transitions from panic to relief to gratification to pure happiness.
