Funny seeing this article given the Leo film that was being buzzed about at the time (Oscar Bait 101). At any event, Inception gets my vote out of all these. It is my favorite film he starred in, period.
Weirdly enough, Inception didn’t wow me completely the first time I saw it. Some sequences stood out, sure, but somehow it didn’t resonate with me like it did with many others — admittedly, I didn’t wanted to buy in the hype for some reason. That luckily changed. This film gets better and better with every viewing.
Just look at the directors DiCaprio already has worked with.
Scorsese, Cameron, Nolan, Tarantino, Spielberg.
Just Fincher missing in my opinion.
1) Titanic
2) Wolf of Wall Street
3) Inception
4) The Departed
5) Catch Me If You Can
