Now, let's find out his top 5 greatest movie roles of all time.

1. THE REVENANT

DiCaprio won his first Academy Award, his third Golden Globe Award and his first Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance infilm as Hugh Glass, a frontier guide in 1823, who is left for dead by a group of trappers after he is mauled by a grizzly bear. Miraculously, Hugh survives and swears vengeance on the men who abandoned him.

2. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

Working once again with Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio won his second Golden Globe Award for his performance as the real-life stockbroker Jordan Belfort, whose underhanded and fraudulent practices made him a small fortune which he spent on a decadent lifestyle of sex and drugs.

3. TITANIC

DiCaprio went from respected actor to worldwide movie star in the James Cameron‘s phenomenal hit, the second highest-grossing film of all time. DiCaprio manages the tricky feat of being convincing as Jack Dawson.

4. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

In this real-life crime film directed by Steven Spielberg, DiCaprio portrays young con-man Frank Abagnale, Jr. who, by the time he turned 19, had swindled his way into millions of dollars. Posing as various people (including a Pan Am airline pilot), Frank Jr. conducted an elaborate check fraud scheme, which came to the attention of FBI agent when both engage themselves in a mouse and rat chase game.

5. THE AVIATOR

In his second collaboration with director Martin Scorsese, DiCaprio takes on the enormous role of billionaire-turned-madman Howard Hughes. “The Aviator” could have gone flying off the rails. But DiCaprio approached it as a character actor would, and that’s why it worked. For his performance as Hughes, he earned his second Academy Award nomination.

6. THE INCEPTION

The star of any Christopher Nolan film is, of course, Christopher Nolan, and for an actor such as DiCaprio who specializes in intricate character work, it’s challenging to do that work in a high-concept sci-fi epic. Yet DiCaprio is able to work his magic here as Dom Cobb, a thief who has the ability to steal secrets from his victims by infiltrating their subconscious thoughts.

Some of the all time greats from an all time great actor which are watch worthy.
