Few actors have made history in Hollywood like Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor of gems like Titanic or The Revenant has been delighting us with top-level performances since the early nineties. Now, he has turned 50, so it seems like a perfect time to review his career. But what are the best movies to remember him by and where can you watch each of them? Here are five selected ones.
The Wolf of Wall Street
If there is a movie that marked a before and after in Leo DiCaprio’s career, it is The Wolf of Wall Street. The umpteenth collaboration between the actor and Martin Scorsese was a unique gem that deserved much more recognition in 2013, and now it is practically a cult film, with an incredible debut by Margot Robbie.
It is available on Prime Video.
Infiltrated
Another collaboration of DiCaprio with Scorsese is this 2006 gem that earned the director an Oscar. This police thriller operates at a unique pace rarely seen before in cinema, and DiCaprio shines as the protagonist Billy Costigan.
It is available on Netflix.
Catch Me If You Can
Directed by Steven Spielberg, this 2002 film tells a story inspired by real events that combines intrigue, humor, and a constant game of cat and mouse like few others have done in cinema before. Without a doubt, it is already considered a modern classic, and it is worth revisiting as many times as necessary.
It is available on Prime Video.
Don’t Look Up
Few comedies have treated DiCaprio as well as this over-the-top madness by Adam McKay. Released at the end of 2021, it made it very clear that the actor can do much more than intense roles… and it is undoubtedly a unique exercise in humility for someone like him.
It is available on Netflix.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Finally, we return with a work by Scorsese (it is what it is, he is the best director) that is very, very recent. Killers of the Flower Moon is DiCaprio’s latest movie, and it is already available for streaming. It is clear that it is worth watching this very unusual role for someone like DiCaprio.
It is available on Apple TV+.
