Film Leonardo DiCaprio - Greatest Actor of All Time?
- Thread starter mariachi-19
- Start date
I thought they were all good films.
Joe Vs the volcano was shit though.
A great film is something I would consider watching more than once @esmufc07 There is no way I'd watch the boringness of a man stuck in a fecking terminal again. What was great about it did you think?
Also for the purpose of this thread, I think DiCaprio is an awesome actor too, I like a lot of his movies. Watched wolf of wall street again last night.

Assuming we're talking about DiCaprio here. If so, I'd suggest The Man in the Iron Mask and The Basketball Diaries. Not terrible films but not good either.
He was talking about hanks
I bet you didn't like PhoneBooth either.
All the actors mentioned in the OP are movie stars, massive difference between that and great actors. Guys like Robert Duvall, J.K Simmons, Gary Oldman ect are example of very good actors!
Nothing wrong with movie stars though, they are likable and sell a production.

Ah. That's what I get for being lazy. In Hank's case then, Bachelor Party immediately springs to mind.
I don't like Collin Farrell, so no.
I'm not sure if he's the greatest ever, I don't know how you can really work that out objectivity. It's a subjective opinion in the end.
But he is a great actor in general and is in many great movies. I love him and personally think he's the best of my generation and time watching movies.

I think if i was to list out actors and their movies i really liked he or Denzel would have the most.
I always get the feeling that if he is in the movie it will be a good movie. Can't think of any of the top of my head I didn't like.
However, DDL is the best actor ive seen. He was fantastic in gangs of new york but Lincoln sold it for me.
Brando in godfather is probably right up there for greatest acting roles, but its the only movie ive seen with him in it.

You should watch more. He's the greatest.

Overhyped Disney frauds.In all seriousness I can't believe this is even a debate.
Does De Niro, Pacino etc complete OP?
Takeshi Kitano.
Yeah, but he's a cnut.
People ranking a greatest of all time based on one or two films they saw is a little weird. Everyone has their good days.
These were your top 5.. of all time? Matthew McConaughey?! Robin Williams? FFS
I'd go for Al Pacino from the ones I've seen.
No.
Richard Attenborough
James Garner
Steve McQueen.

Richard Dean Anderson.
Robin Williams is a great, like, really great actor. He just seemed to play a lot of roles in kids movies, probably due his comedic background. Look at him in Good will hunting or Insomnia.
Without a doubt.
I mean, he's hardly up there with the likes of Pacino though, right? Some great roles and a lot of playful comedy kiddy stuff. Can't say I've ever looked at him and felt that's the pinnacle of acting.
No, he's not. This answer to this is Daniel Day Lewis and it's not even close.
Did I say they were my top 5 of all time? Read it again you triggered snowflake.

Looking at their careers, no. But playing devils advocate on @AaronRedDevil point, you could pick the top 5 performances of both, and off the top of my head, Robin Williams would have a greater range of characters and performances than Pacino. Doesnt make him better but he is certainly up there as a great. Just doesnt get mentioned because he did a lot of kids stuff and was more known as a comedian.
The irony of reacting like a wound up baby and calling the other person a triggered snowflake.
Right, so these are the only actors the pair of you could come up with yet aren't the best in your view. Time well spent.
"It was incomprehensible how good Brando was. He was just a phenomenon. I was acting before I ever saw a Brando picture. I'm very proud to be able to say that but I'll be imitating him until the day I die."

Oh for feck sake. Look at you're last comment, that's even more ironic.
Those are your top 5 actors.... of all time? Mathew McConaughey and Robin Williams? FFS

I'm talking about actors who can actually act differently in different movies! Not an actor that's very good in playing the same role in every movie they've been in. Do you grasp the concept now? And those actors are in my opinion the best in that way. Not MY best actors. Jesus.
Watch more films.
A lot more. Like thousands.
Crap how did I forget Denzel. He's brilliant too.
I've almost seen them all. But what would you recommend from the Al Pacino and De Niro movies from the obvious one or 2 movies they are easily known for.
If you've not seen Midnight Run have a look at that for some more diverse acting. Important though - do not look it up or read about it before watching.
Ok I'll check it out.
