Leonardo DiCaprio's best film ranked and it's one everyone has forgotten
Rotten Tomatoes, the renowned film review aggregator, has compiled an ultimate list of Leonardo DiCaprio's films, ranging from fan favourites to lesser-known gems. The list unveils the top-rated film featuring the Hollywood heavyweight.
Leonardo DiCaprio is known for his fearless approach to diverse roles, embodying a range of characters from wealthy tycoons and impoverished voyagers to Shakespeare's Romeo. Each film has been ranked based on fan reviews, with the top spot going to a film where the then 28-year-old actor adopts multiple false identities.
"Catch Me If You Can" emerges as DiCaprio's highest-rated film, boasting an impressive 96 per cent score and a plethora of five-star reviews. This 2002 cinematic masterpiece, directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg, left such a lasting impression on film enthusiasts that it has garnered over 1,000 reviews on the platform alone.
The film features DiCaprio alongside a star-studded cast including Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye, and Amy Adams. It's based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Frank Abagnale Jr, who claimed to have executed numerous cons worth millions of dollars, impersonating a pilot, a doctor, and even a district attorney, all before reaching the tender age of 19, reports the Mirror US.
The movie delves into these outlandish and intricate tales, which have since faced considerable scrutiny, as the young lad executes a series of lucrative cons whilst being chased by an FBI operative portrayed by Tom Hanks.
A Rotten Tomatoes review says: "Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can is an electric yet ultimately sad story, easily one of his best films from this century. It's packed with so many memorable moments, from Frank Abagnale Jr's audacious cons to Carl Hanratty's relentless pursuit.
"Leonardo DiCaprio is dynamite in the lead role, embodying the charm and vulnerability of a young man caught in a web of his own making, while Tom Hanks provides a wonderfully understated counterpoint."
Another commented: "Very funny movie that still manages to have a very hard-hitting and emotional drama. Great performances all around, especially by Christopher Walken. It's just overall very entertaining to watch Leonardo DiCaprio's antics and grandiose cons and escapades; what more reason could you have to watch this?".
Within the catalogue of over 20 pictures, securing second place as the highest-rated DiCaprio flick is the 2023 offering Killers of the Flower Moon. This production boasts an impressive 93 per cent rating, with audiences captivated by Martin Scorsese's western, adapted from a 2017 novel.
Devotees of the silver screen star won't be taken aback to discover that his 1991 role in The Critters is at the very bottom of the list, closely followed by the tropical thriller The Beach. However, there are some unexpected entries in the top 10, including the often overlooked What's Eating Gilbert Grape and the 1996 film Marvin's Room.

Prince William 'insists he's addressed in one way and one way only'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The British public appears to be harbouring resentment towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with one Royal expert suggesting "it will go on as long as the Palace wants it to." With rumours of a potential meeting between Harry and King Charles in September, it seems the Palace might be softening its stance slightly, indicating room for reconciliation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Prince William is ready to welcome Harry back with open arms. According to Ian Pelham Turner, it's not just Harry who's facing criticism. He claims that William has insisted his staff address him as "Sir,". The former Royal photographer commented, "There's something going on with William." We had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Pelham Turner via Zoom. His career at the Palace overlapped with both Princess Diana and the then Prince Charles, and he transitioned from photography to television while maintaining a keen interest in the Royal Family, reports the Mirror US. As part of the media circle covering the royals, Pelham Turner shared his insider knowledge, revealing that there have been complaints about the Prince of Wales from his employees. Claims about Prince William. Despite presenting a gentle image during Royal engagements, behind closed doors, it seems William may be less affable. The Royal commentator stated: "Now, for me, we hear a lot more now that more and more allegations, and that's all that you can say about William, are coming out." He added: "It's coming out that his staff find him, at times, very aggressive, and I know one of his many supporters, for his housing charity, and this guy is a volunteer, and he was telling me that William is constantly on to him all day, all night, saying, 'How much money have we made? How much money have we made?'". Beyond being aggressive, Pelham Turner claims William's demeanour has shifted, noting that whilst he was relaxed during his twenties and thirties, now in his forties with his sights set on the throne, he has become considerably more formal, demanding people address him as "Sir," rather than using his first name. "From what we hear, there's been a subtle change in William, anyway, in the past, when Harry was around, and they were in their twenties and their thirties, they could always be addressed as William and Harry, now he doesn't allow that, he wants to be addressed as 'Sir.'". Staff members say he's 'aggressive'. Harry and Charles' representatives held a face-to-face meeting in London recently, and it's being reported this marked the initial step towards a potential reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, particularly King Charles. However, there was no representation for William, which Pelham Turner found rather significant. He said: "I thought it was very poignant that none of William's team was at that meeting, and I think that picture was more a picture to William than it was to the rest of the world." Harry's two representatives and Charles's representative were spotted on the balcony of a restaurant, a move which Pelham Turner believes was intentional to send a message to William that this is happening, whether he's involved or not.

Amazon Prime's new 'ridiculously stupid' action comedy attacked by fans
The latest film to hit streaming platform Amazon Prime Video has received a rocky reception from critics and fans alike, despite starring a true Hollywood heavyweight. Described as 'an embarrassing, ridiculous waste of time' and 'unadulterated garbage', the buddy comedy and action heist movie will have had lofty goals in mind with its cast. Starring Oscar-nominated movie icon Eddie Murphy and former Saturday Night Live breakout Pete Davidson, The Pickup follows their mismatched armoured truck driver characters after they're ambushed while on shift by criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Keke Palmer). But Zoe's plans go way beyond the cash cargo Russell and Travis are carrying, and the unlikely duo is forced to navigate the chaos and high-risk danger as their very bad day keeps getting worse. The action flick was released on Prime Video yesterday for fans just two days after critics were able to deliver their verdict – which was overwhelmingly unimpressed to say the least, with one review describing it as 'one of the year's worst movies'. On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, The Pickup has a miserable 33% score from critics – and while fans have been more generous, it's still a rotten reaction from then with a limp, and still officially rotten, 47%. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'I like Eddie Murphy, but why does he always choose the worst movies to star in?' asked disappointed viewer Michael G on the platform, while Commin C wrote next to their half-star reaction: 'I don't know how this movie got rated so highly. Yes, this score is high for this movie.' 'Ridiculously stupid and painful to watch. I had to stop,' complained Cork B. 'That Eddie Murphy went along with this was a shame. While he has made some stinkers in his time, this is for sure near the top.' 'Five minutes in and I'm outta here,' agreed Peter M after giving up on The Pickup, while David F decided to address the Beverly Hills cop star directly, insisting: 'Eddie you are better than this. Stop taking the streaming pay checks and get back to theatrical releases with real comedy writer.' Another fan noted that it was the second recent Amazon movie she'd had 'a hard time getting through and will probably abandon' after Heads of State. Lis W added: 'I don't get Eddie Murphy. Is he just churning out movies for the studio and taking the money, and not caring about his filmography reputation?' 'So tired of this garbage. Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, the writing, the acting, the story = just plain awful. Baffling that these movies get made. Even odder is that positive reviews exist,' chimed in Drew D. But some fans were still delighted indeed, with Adam R enthusing: 'A comedy masterpiece! I laughed out loud on repeat. Job well done to everyone: director, actors, writers! Do yourself a favour and watch this movie.' Another viewer, Lindsey V, even claimed it was 'the best Eddie movie I have seen in ages'. It currently sits at the top of Prime Video's streaming charts in the UK as the number one film and also the number three title overall. However, critics strongly disagreed, with The Guardian's Andrew Laurence branding The Pickup 'heinous' and 'worse than Norbit', often considered the nadir of Murphy's career. 'The Pickup is easily the worst Eddie Murphy movie in recent memory. That's right: worse than A Thousand Words, the Liar Liar rip-off so underwhelming that Murphy had to take a break from making comedies. And worse than Norbit, the Nutty Professor ersatz probably costing him the Oscar for Dreamgirls,' he wrote in a one-star review. 'It is as generic and forgettable as its title suggests: a bland action-comedy that will surely end up being one of the year's worst movies, if only for the egregious way it squanders its talented cast,' agreed Christy Lemire for in a similarly scored review. 'In a movie with Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer, I laughed the hardest at snap-zooms. That's a problem – for some, probably an unforgivable one,' admitted ScreenRant's Alex Harrison. Meanwhile, The Upcoming dammed the film with faint praise, writing: 'The Pickup is not the worst film that either Murphy or Davidson has starred in. However, it may be their most unremarkable.' More Trending Murphy's last film attracted millions of views for Netflix after he starred in a continuation of one of his most popular franchises with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, while he previously attracted critical acclaim for 2019's Dolemite Is My Name, landing a Golden Globe nomination. He has also recently thrilled fans with the announcement that he will be reprising his beloved voice acting role of Donkey in Shrek 5 as well as a spin-off movie focused on the sidekick character and his dragon wife.

The beauty, 55, was joined by her billionaire Amazon CEO husband Jeff Bezos, 61, for lunch on the party island before heading to their mega luxury yacht. Just a day after bravely teetering over rocky terrain in sky-high stilettos, Lauren kicked off her shoes and went barefoot on the beach and boardwalk.
