If you like movies like Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels from Guy Ritchie, I'd suggest checking out Smokin Aces sometime, as it's a solid movie in that genre with a great cast. Of course if you don't like Guy Ritchie movies, you'll hate Smokin Aces, in which case ignore that movie.
Pine is a side character during parts of the Smokin Aces movie, but he does a good job and shows some decent range in his role.
I agree with you on Dicaprio, I was the same way on him. Never liked him up until the last few years. Pitt I've always liked, but movies he is the lead in are generally average or worse (with a few notable exceptions). But my first couple of introductions to Pitt were in True Romance, 12 Monkeys, and Legends of the Fall, and A River Runs through it, and he was awesome in three of those.

Probably had no idea it was him the first time I watched it - or even who he was. In fact, when I rewatched it the first time and realized it was him - that's when I decided to give him a chance.

Legends of the Fall
I thought he was just "meh" - without Sir Anthony, that movie is just a muddled, incomprehensible mess - I know I'm in the minority on that one.

Not my cup of tea, but that's not Pitt's fault,

12 Monkeys
Spacey's Usual Suspect performance deserved the Oscar, but I wish there could have been a 1a that year for Pitt's Jeffrey Goines. I lifted my "no Brad Pitt" policy to watch that film with its combination of Terry Gilliam and Bruce Willis. I was blown away and the policy was lifted.
Leo got off the list when I caught The Aviator about 10 minutes in. At that point, The Departed had just come out on video. I had heard the praise, blah, blah, blah, but I didn't give it a chance until after I was extremely impressed by his performance as Huges in Aviator.
