Leonardo DiCaprio Movies Ranked: Where to Watch Leo's Best Ever Performances Online

Updated on

Leonardo DiCaprio is known as one of the greatest actors of our time, rising from strength to strength as his career has evolved from teen heartthrob to one of the top seasoned actors in the industry. Leo’s long career kicked off in 1991 with horror-comedy Critters 3, after which he featured in several TV series before getting his big break as an abused teen in 1993’s This Boy’s Life. Both the film and Leo’s performance were critically lauded, and helped to propel him into his next acclaimed performance as the developmentally disabled Arnie in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. After receiving Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor for the film, Leo’s reputation as a talented, devilishly handsome young actor became firmly established. He spent several years portraying roguish, tortured artists in films such as Romeo + Juliet, The Basketball Diaries, and Total Eclipse, culminating in his iconic performance as Jack in Titanic, which shattered hearts across the globe and rocketed his fame to staggering new heights. 

In 2002, Leo began to take on more solo starring roles, such in Steven Spielberg’s biopic Catch Me If You Can, in which he plays charming conman Frank Abagnale Jr., in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator as the increasingly unhinged Howard Hughs, and in Blood Diamond as a Rhodesian diamond smuggler. The latter two films earned him Best Actor nominations at the Academy Awards and signaled to audiences across the globe that he had transitioned into more mature roles. In 2006, Leo made is third collaboration with renowned director Martin Scorses, playing an undercover cop in the Boston mob movie The Departed. He went on to work with the director several more times over the following years, including in 2010’s psychological thriller Shutter Island, 2013’s economic black comedy The Wolf of Wall Street, and 2023’s drama Killers of the Flower Moon. Leo has worked with several other iconic directors over the years, including with Christopher Nolan on Inception, and Quentin Tarrantino on Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. After four Academy Award nominations — three for Best Actor and one for Best Supporting Actor — Leo finally won his Best Actor accolade for his role in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s stunning 2015 film The Revenant in which he played a fur trapper in mid 1800s America who struggles for survival and vengeance after he is mauled by a bear and left for dead in the wilderness. 

Leo’s impressive acting career continues to evolve, and with a catalog of over 25 movies and counting it is hard to know what to watch (or rewatch) first. Below you can find a list of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best performances of all time.
