Leonardo DiCaprio's best film ranked and it's one everyone has forgotten

Leonardo DiCaprio has starred in a number of iconic films over the years, but according to Rotten Tomatoes, one movie in particular stands out as his best work 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.
