Nope. Nothing on that list looks like anything I'd be interested in (including Titanic), but I happened to see Catch Me If You Can on tv one day so I watched it. I would not have rented it otherwise.

Yeah The Departed is a great movie.

Blood Diamonds is pretty good also.

Body of Lies was ok.

Dont remember the Beach. I know I saw it.

Dont think I saw any of the rest.

The guy is a damn fine actor and picks his films well. The only downside he has is following Al Gore around like a groupie and mimicking Al's every word.

This is actually my favorite.

I thought this was AWESOME. A realistic portrayal of the CIA's capability over in the Middle East.

the Beach


All I recall from that flix is he pounds the shite out of some woman in a tent...it quickly got me hankerin' for some pokin'.

I like him as an actor. Did you mention Revolutionary Road with Winslet? another woman who makes me hanker for a pokin'

Leo is the man. I actually loved Revolutionary Road, despite what some say. Best actor in the business, hands down.

Blood Diamond put me over the top as far as his acting abilities went


This and The Aviator did it for me. He's fantastic.

I don't get the love for DDL. Not saying he isn't a good actor, but as far as him being in a movie = me wanting to see the movie, no.

well he has a lot of in-development things for someone taking a year long hiatus. I guess he is putting everything on hold.


Most of the stuff that is listed as in-development for him are movies he's producing. He's started to produce now too. He is my favorite actor. He's going to continue to make a couple movies every couple years with Oscar worthy performances in Oscar worthy movies.

yea the beach wasnt bad but it was like they switched writers 3/4 of the way in. i've watched it 20 times at least and its not bad, but it's not one of his bests. i forgot about the basketball diaried but that was a damn good movie. depressing as hell.

I honestly believe his character in Body of Lies was one of if not the best role he's ever played.

He and Russell Crowe's aggravated banter was funny, smart, and realistic.

also plays an excellent Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. Don't know if that's been mentioned yet

i didnt really like romeo and juliet, but again, to his credit, he did not put up a bad performance.
