Inception was kinda freaky.

I liked Gangs of New York. Even tho they took excessive liberties with some of the historical facts. The US Navy never bombed NYC with naval gunfire.
I liked it for Bill the Butcher. Not Dicaprio. Yep. Bill the Butcher was probably Daniel Day-Lewis‘s best character portrayal, and his character in Last of the Mohicans, his next best role.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was good, but Brad Pitt kinda stole his thunder in that one. He did. Great scene near the end when he went berserk. LoL

I have no idea what kind of guy he is or his politics but seems like he's made a lot of good movies. Have a favorite? All his movies are good. But my favorite is probably "Blood Diamond" Blood diamond is one of my all time favorites. I knew many south Africans and Rhodesians from that time period and I think he captured their attitudes very well. Bb

Killers of the Flower Moon was too long and boring but DeCaprio sure disappeared into his role as that complex, thoroughly unlikeable character.

He did a good job in Django Unchained but his part was far fetched. The final shootout was absurd.

I liked it for Bill the Butcher. Not Dicaprio. He’s a decent actor. But like this and others have said, he rarely is the best actor in any of his movies. Daniel Day Lewis’s portrayal of Bill the Butcher makes Gangs of New York a good movie. In the Revenent, Tom Hardy is much more believable as a mountain man. But he is good just not on that same level as those two. That being said I also enjoyed The Departed, inception, and Shutter Island.

I liked Inception as well as many listed.
I like a lot of Tom Cruise movies too. Even though I know the guy is a fruit loop.

Inception was one of those movies where if you went to take a leak, you were lost. But still a good movie.
I think Leo has done a lot of good flicks, he’s not necessarily the best actor there, but he does a great job letting the great actors be great (him and Nicholson in The Departed, for example).
I think HIS best movie was Wolf of Wall Street (not a good movie for Boomers that don’t like foul language).
Yeah, sure, he’s a lefty, but Jeez, I’d rather hang out with him than Sean Penn……

The Quick and the Dead has got to be in the top ten stupidest movies ever made. He played his part well, but good grief that movie was stupid.
One of my favorites of his was Catch Me If You Can.
