Arnie Grape from What's Eating Gilbert Grape? I'm not a huge Leo fan, but I think the best role an actor can play are those that you couldn't imagine another actor in. Arnie was that character for Leo. He hasn't had another role like that, except maybe his interpretation of Romeo and that's a big maybe. It was a bit rushed to me.
Anyway, I think DiCaprio could learn a lesson from his Gilbert Grape co-star in chosing roles that speak to his passion and leave the cookie cutter parts to the Ken-doll actors. With his role as Arnie, Leo has proven he doesn't need them. Thoughts?

I divide it into younger and older Leo. His best younger role was Arnie in Gilbert Grape. His best older role was Howard Hughes in The Aviator. Both times he totally became the character. Other movies I've seen, it was like he was playing himself.

I don't like him at all, but his best roles were Arnie from Whats Eating Gilpert Grape? and Jack from Titanic.

I don't know, I thought he was great in Catch Me if You Can. I was never a fan of his but that movie was just fun and he bought Frank Abignale Jr alive on the screen. Plus he just delivered his lines head on...
Oh... now I feel like watching the movie....

He's a good actor, but not great, I think he needs to do lots of independents, then the Oscars will be rolling in.

Gangs of New York. So far, his best work to date.
