I made my 'Top 50 movies since the Year 2000' list... https://www.imdb.com/list/ls054988763/ ... and Leo is the top name on the list by far, with 7 movies in the top 50! Nobody else with more than 4. What do u think...is he the best actor since the turn of the century?!
shareI enjoy these ‘Best of’ posts, they can lead to good conversations about stars, movies, music, books…whatever entertainment topic really.
I’m currently rewatching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It’s as great as I remember and yup, Leo is an amazing actor, I can’t recall disliking any of his work but he’s especially great here…proud, desperate, not particularly taking care of himself and losing the thread.
The scenes where his character trashed his trailer out of frustration, yelling into the mirror the whole time and earlier on had bawled in front of the little girl actress. The kid (I think based on a Jodie Foster type actress had it all together and had to comfort his adult lack of confidence!
Man, that was a joining of two rivers, great writing and really fine acting.
He is for sure in the discussion. I would also nominate PSH, Christian Bale, Meryl Streep, and Frances McDormand. And two of those stared in Almost Famous, which is somehow not on your list. Really solid list though. Glad to see Children of Men up so high.
