I prefer watching some guys who are considered lousy actors, like Steven Seagal
and Jean Claude Van Damme (sp). They may not be as skilled actors or great
dramatists (drama-wise), but i'm not looking for drama from movies or chicks.
I'd rather have "cool" and what might be considered shallow {as in Shallow Hal}
and superficial.
I'd rate the listed movies with LD as generally average and not worth watching
twice, if even the first time. OTOH i've seen the Bourne Identity and Gladiator,
for examples, at least 5 times each.

Yeah I agree that Leo has that screen presence, and he'll probably be remembered as one of the best of our time, but Norton and Penn have taken on a wide variety of roles and have done them so well, I've been left thinking was that really Sean Penn? or was that really Ed Norton? (see "Carlitos Way" or "American History X) leo's acting is always superb and he had done many good movies to his credit, but I always know it's Leo. So, I'm just saying from, Acting as a craft and art form, Penn and Norton are better.
Yep he got robbed for an Oscar here.
Not even close.
The greatest character actor living right now is Vincent D'Onofrio.
Having said that.
Pacino
Nicholson
De Niro
Michael Caine
Denzell Washington
Johnny Depp
Harrison Ford
Tom Cruise
Nick Cage
Tom Hanks
Hoffman
All say hello.
Now do we want to get into the old timers, like Brando, Tracy, Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable etc. etc. etc.?
Now do we want to get into actresses, since they are techincally actors?
Please, that PoS DiCapprio has been nominated for three Oscars, won zero.
Compare that murderer Leo's resume to Hanks and get back to me.
Top ten ever.

LOL Titanic's not even in the top ten, IMO, unless we're talking about overrated movies of all time.
Goodfellas
American History X
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
True Romance, are all better.
Titanic's not even Leo's best movie
